Dear 6D Students and Parents,
On Tuesday, students and a teacher from G.P Vanier school visited the grade 6’s to talk about the late French immersion program, which is an option for all SVS students next year. The grade 7 students spoke about how quickly they were able to learn to speak and understand French, and about many of the options and clubs available at their school. If you are interested in learning more about this program there will be an open house on February 5th (6:30pm to 7:30 pm) at G.P. Vanier School.
We wrote our quiz on Factors, Multiples, and Order of Operations. The quizzes have been marked and sent home with students. Please review the quizzes and sign them and return the quizzes to school. We started to look at fractions today. Next week, we will be looking at how to name, model and convert fractions from improper into mixed numbers.
In groups of four, the students started the creation of their Ancient Athens board game. The students will create "character cards" (Citizen, Metic, Slave, Female) and "travel cards" that will be picked up as the teams move around the game board. Categories such as chance, physical activity, memorization, consequence, and knowledge, will be randomly chosen to "level up" or "level down" their character.
Ask your child to act out the difference between rotation and revolution. Next week, we will use this information to understand the reasons why we have seasons.
Have a great weekend, and enjoy the nice weather!
Mrs. Reeve
