Thursday, January 30


Dear Grade 6C Parents and Students,

*Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow (Friday, January 30)*

This week we have been completing mini-lessons and practice sessions on writing newspaper articles, focusing on writing catchy headlines and organizing our facts into paragraphs.

We had an introduction to fractions this week.  Students learned the difference between mixed and improper fractions and how to convert one to the other.

We continued to work on our board game about Athens.  Students have had time to complete their Character Cards, Travel Cards and Ancient Sites cards.

Have a great weekend!

Ms. Blyth
