Happy New Year

Welcome to 2016. I hope that everyone has had a restful and happy holidays.

This week in Math we begin our unit on Data Management. We started the week with constructing and conducting a survey. We looked at what makes a good survey question and how to record the results. We will continue the week with representing data from a survey and other sources onto line graphs and scatterplot graphs.

In Language we will continue our Making Connections unit,by examining what we already know about a topic and using what we read to confirm our knowledge or gain new information. We are currently reading a set of formal letters titled Nets to Africa.

This week we will also embark on the Entrepreneurial Adventure. The entrepreneurial adventure is a program that pairs a classroom with a mentor from the business community to create a business that will create a product or service with the proceeds going to charity. The process is student driven and Mr. S' grade 6 class is very excited to begin this journey. The link to the program can be found  by going to the following url:
