New Date for Field Trip

Apologies for the changes in schedule, but our field trip to Crooked Valley will be on JUNE 14.  Thanks!!

Taking Flight

We have been learning about the forces of flight in Science: lift, drag, thrust and weight.  Here are some shots of our attempts at flying with wings...well, mostly just experimenting with the effects of drag! :)

Field Trip Postponed...

Hi, everyone.  Our Outdoor Ed. leader called and notified me that it is too muddy at the field trip site so we will not be going today.  We will try to reschedule the trip for another day!

Update!

Hi, everyone.  Here is a quick update for the week:

Math- We are having a small mid-unit quiz on Lessons 1-4 on THURSDAY.  So far we have learned about six different types of triangles, how to draw triangles, as well as different polygons.

Reading- Book Club Meeting #3 is on Friday, and we are planning to also present our Book Club Talk Shows on Friday.

Art- Just a reminder to bring cameras, if available, on Thursday.

Field Trip to Crooked Valley- Please send $4.50 for the cost of the bus.  This trip is next Thursday, May 3.  I am still looking for a couple parent helpers. 

Grade 6 Badminton Tournament- We are going to have a fun afterschool tournament, just for Grade 6 students, on Tuesday, May 1.  I will send a note home today asking permission for students to stick around after school on that day. 

 Swimming- This Friday from 2-3pm!

Easter Fun

What a fun week we enjoyed in Grade 6!  Here are some photos from our Smartie Party, featuring the Amazing Egg Hunt and a trip to DQ.  Mrs. Hognestad also helped us create beautiful Ukrainian Easter Eggs!

Update!

Hi, everyone!  Just a quick update for you this week:

• Today we completed Unit 5 in Math.  The class rocked the Math Test!!! The class average was 91%.  Bravo!  (By the way, this is top secret information and means we will add a smartie to our jar…the final one before our second Mini-Smartie Party!! Details on that coming soon!)

• Tomorrow morning we will have our first Book Club Meetings.  Students need to be prepared with their finished reading, journal entry, role sheet and word work.

• Our Racism projects are due next Wednesday, April 4.

• We are a lucky class!  Thanks to the generous sponsorship of Colin and Renee Perkowitsch, our class will be attending “Seussical” on Wednesday, April 4.  It is a production by Do It With Class.  Bailey Perkowitsch and Mayson Sonntag, both Grade 6 students, will be performing!  Students need to bring $1.50 for the bus.  We will also be eating an early lunch on that day because we need to leave the school by 11:45am.  All students should bring a lunch on that day.   We are really looking forward to this event!
