May 8-12th, 2023

Even though it was a rainy week, we were fortunate to get to the pond to listen to Elder Harley Bastien. He spoke to us about how we are the future leaders and it is our responsbility to care for the Earth.

Today, your child has a sent you an email about the last month of school. We fell away from emails when our student teacher was here, but we are back! Students were asked to share some things they are proud of and one thing they want to work on between now and the end of the year. I will keep this week short since I think most would rather hear from their child than me! :) Students are also coming home with their Social test. I asked students who received under 20/25 to take home for a signature. 

We also had a 5/6 community meeting with Mr. Lang and Ms. Bonanno to discuss some of the choices that are being made as a 5/6 community. We talked about appropriate language use, respecting personal space and boundaries, and lunch time expectations. 

A reminder that Wednesday, May 17th is our first Provincial Achievement Test for the Grade 6's. It will be their writing component. We have reviewed and practiced and are ready to go! Make sure you head to bed early the night before and have breakfast the morning of. I have added science review guides to the Google Classroom. QuestA+ has practice exams for those of you who have been asking how to support your child. Practicing all number operations with decimals will also be beneficial. 

Have a wonderful sunny weekend and Happy Mother's Day!
