We did it!

WE DID IT! 👏

Today we completed the Bingo sheet!  Bravo Grade 6s and thank you to some of our other secret angels.  I guess it is time for me to think of a treat for next week. 😊 Donations are still welcome though as the need at Luna center (Calgary's Child & Youth Advocacy Centre | Luna (lunacentre.ca)) is always present.  Thank you again for your family's generosity. 🙏

A special thank you to one of our EAs who comes in and not only helps us with schoolwork but was also our angel helping with completing our bingo sheet and treated us to some very special popcorn balls made with sweet treats.  Thank you so much for spoiling us so Mrs. Dawson.

A quick update on this week's accomplishments as well...

• In Math we wrote a quiz on adding and subtracting with and without decimals and worked with money to calculate change.  
• In LA we finished Chapter 6 of A Wrinkle in Time and will continue reading it in the weeks ahead.  Please do not let your child see the movie yet.  We will watch it together.
• In Religion, we have been talking about Mary and like her, saying "Yes" to God. We also completed our art pieces that we will be displaying outside our classroom shortly.
• In Science, we are close to wrapping up Part I of our Evidence and Investigation unit.  Today we used Dichotomous Keys to figure out what animal leaves certain prints.
• In Social Studies, we continue to work on Chapter 3, Democracy in Ancient Athens.  We have done a fair bit of Mapping, and we will now apply those skills to this chapter extensively.
• In French we started translating and learning the song: "Mon Beau Sapin."  The lyrics and video are located under the French tab above.
• We also continued working on some of our coding activities we have been working on using Scratch through CS First.
