Grade 6

Dear Grade Six Families,

The children have been learning long division in math class and in order to get quicker with their multiplication numbers, we encourage them to practice their multiplication tables for 5 minutes everyday.

We have been learning about Alexander Calder in art class and I was very pleased with the incredible detail exhibited on their fishbone chart. The students also practiced Contour Line drawing of their classmates and had a lot of fun creating their ‘ish’ drawings.

Homework for this weekend includes:
