October

Well, the grade six members of our class are back from a FANTASTIC three days spent at Camp Arnes.  Our students were very enthusiastic about all activities and received many compliments from camp staff about their good nature and positive behaviour.  When asked about their favourite camp moments, our class members' responses were varied, and answers ranged from "jumping off the zipline", to "having fun with our cabin group at lights out" to "the food- it was AMAZING".  Students have been eager to share their many amazing experiences with the rest of our class, and have many words of wisdom and advice for our grade five students' trip next fall.

Now that we are back, we are hitting the ground running!  We are wrapping our class study of Tuck Everlasting, we are also continuing work on Canadian Civil Rights and Responsibilities in Social Studies, starting our study of les nombres in French, and finishing up our work on understanding and writing word problems in Math.  By the time our tri-conference meetings take place near the end of the month, students will be able to identify their strengths and will be ready to set their academic and personal goals for the year ahead.  I look forward to meeting you all!
