Welcome to 6A! I will be sending out a monthly update at the beginning of the month of what will be taking place in our classroom. If any things pop up that the class needs to know, I will send an email to let you know.
This past week we’ve been focusing on routines and expectations in our classroom. We will continue to work on these as the year progresses. I already know it’s going to be a fantastic year!
Please note that there is no microwave in our classroom. Please make sure that you send your child with a fork and spoon in their lunches, as I will not be providing utensils.
Just a few things:
-It is important that students arrive on time for school, having time to get settled prepares them for their upcoming day. O’Canada and announcements are on at 8:25 and we begin our day afterwards at 8:30. Thank you for cooperation with this.
-Please send your child with a filled water bottle, if you don’t have one, please reach out and let me know.
-Indoor shoes will be needed, please make sure to send those in as soon as you can.
-If your child is going to be late or absent, please email me at mgwhite@edu.pe.ca or call the school at 902-368-6950.
-Taking care of our hygiene is also a way of showing respect for ourselves and the people around us. A clean and fresh classroom helps everyone focus, learn, and enjoy being together each day.
Thank you for doing your part to keep our classroom a comfortable and positive place for everyone!
Math- Students have begun working on place value to the millions. This month we will also move into place value to the millionths. Towards the end of the month we will focus on integers: ordering and comparing, understanding that 0 is neither negative nor positive, and opposite integers.
Writing- Students have begun to work on their writing stamina and developing ideas. We will then move into writing memoirs. Students will choose a time in their lives and something that they learned from it. They will also be working on using details to keep their readers engaged by creating mental pictures in their readers’ minds and using figurative language.
At any time, if you need to reach out to me, please don't hesitate. You can reach me by email: mgwhite@edu.pe.ca or call 902-368-6950.
