News!


As you are likely aware of now, I am on a reduced teaching schedule until after the March Break. Mrs. Loretta Issac will be taking over my duties until then. 
In math, we will be investigating quadrilaterals and angles through our geometry unit - spend some time on the new websites in the math section on the blog.
As we are completing our reading focus on Determining Importance, we will be studying descriptive writing in the form of Problem-Solution Reports.

Our class email is:   grade6morning@gmail.com

Determining Importance

We used the book, The Important Book, to launch our focus on Determining Importance when we read. We are also using the organizer known as the RAN (Reading and Organizing Non-Fiction) Chart - see below - to help us determining what is important to remember as we read versus what is simply interesting!

Reading Response

This site has some excellent ideas for good reading responses -there are even some exemplars that might help when trying to complete a reading response.


Please use 3R's when writing in your reading response book!

We start again on Monday, October 31st!
