Grade 6 Lights Up!

On Friday, we had an awesome learning experience!  Students learned how to wire a lamp!  My Dad, Mr. McMillan, came to lead us through the exercise, and Mr. Wilkes stopped by to help out, too.

The Latest in Grade 6


Welcome to a new week!  Just a few things to update you on today from the Grade 6 world..

-I will be checking in with kids about their rough drafts for their speeches today.  The final draft is due Friday.  I have told the class that if they have a major time issue with getting the final draft done by this date, to come and speak with me early this week.
-We are having a Science quiz on Friday. Students are welcome to take home textbooks to study but please ensure that they return them to school as they are costly.  There are about 20 terms to study in preparation for this quiz.
-We rocked the Unit 4 Math Test!  The class average was 89%.  Students should have their tests signed.  I have also included an overall summary of their current mark in Math.
-We are going on our second cross-country skiing trip on Wednesday morning.  Please send $3 for the bus (this covers our trip last Monday). 
-It would be great to have all of the Mission Ridge money in by Thursday if possible, as I am leaving for Hong Kong on Friday!
-Tomorrow is Red, White, and Purple Day, as well as the Valentine’s Day dance.  Should be fun!
