Good evening everyone,
Today the students did a tremendous job with their debate presentations. We have one more group to present. The students had a lot of fun, and it was exciting for me to watch their enthusiasm as they used their higher order thinking skills to generate ideas and develop meaningful arguments.
Due to the fact that we were working on the debates for much of today, I have not assigned any homework for this weekend. The only thing that I would like to see come back on Monday is their signed Friday Folders. Please take some time to look through their folders, as they will give you a greater idea of your child's performance in the classroom. One of the purposes of the Friday Folders is for parents to be able to stay informed of their child's progress.
Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is a P.A. Day.
Have a great weekend!

Hello everyone,
Yesterday was a terrific day of athletic competition. I'm very proud of the effort that all the students demonstrated. Especially since it was such a hot day. A big thanks goes out to Mr. D. and Mrs. Lummiss for all their hard work in preparing for the day.
Next week our grade 6 students will be taking the EQAO test. Please refer to the note sent home this week regarding the administration of the test. Students have been working hard to prepare for the assessment, and as part of this we have discussed the importance of not stressing or worrying about the assessment. Students are simply expected to put forth their best effort, but not worry nor stress about the results. Such worry and stress can be detrimental to test scores, as well as overall health.
Please find this weekend's homework below:
I am not assigning any new homework for this evening. Students are encouraged to read, as well as make sure that they have completed all homework from the past 2-3 days. The grade 5's have their Federal Government questions due Tuesday, and the grade 6's are encouraged to continue working through their EQAO booklets as practice for the test next week. As they practice it is important that they continue to practice using the "APE" (Answer, Prove, Explain) strategy that we have worked on in class.
I hope everyone has a terrific weekend!
