Dear Grade Six Families,
This week in Socials, we looked at 3 different types of poverty: absolute poverty, relative poverty, and generational poverty. The students also watched a video on third world poverty and we discussed the importance of helping those who are marginalized in our world.
In Religion, the students are finalizing their poster on one of the seven Sacraments. They look amazing!!
We will be looking at Newton’s Second Law of Motion this coming week.
