Dear Grade 6 Parents and Students,
We have had a great first week getting
to know each other and learning about the exciting things we will be doing this
year in grade 6. Thank you to all of the parents who reached out to me
this week and I look forward to meeting with all of you during the Parent/
Teacher conferences on September 19th and 20th.
We worked this week on learning about
our strengths as learners, focusing on visual learning, auditory and
kinesthetic learning. The students completed three tests to see how well
they could remember a series of random items using their eyes, ears, and sense
of touch. We will be taking this information and graphing our results.
These results will be posted around the room and we will discuss how different
types of projects match different types of learning styles.
To help us get to know the students,
we started our "All About Me" project, which began by having the
students fill in a graphic organizer about their families, backgrounds,
favorite foods, movies, books, etc. The
students then started a "sketch note" about themselves that will be
posted so other students can get to know them. Students also completed a letter
to the teacher with more information about successful learning accommodations
and what areas of schooling they enjoy the best.
Don't forget to check out our class
website for resources. It is below but I have also permanently linked it on the
right-hand side.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Reeve
