A note from Miss McMillan...
Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed a relaxing and fun holiday with your families. I had a great time with my family in Calgary, with plenty of nieces and nephews to enjoy! It is good to be back into the routine of things at school, though, and it has been a good start to 2011 in Grade 6! Yesterday we discussed "new beginnings" and the value in marking a new year. Today we are going to look back at our "Top Ten Moments of 2010", and then we'll look forward to our hopes for 2011.
In math we are working on multiplying and dividing decimals. Many students are having challenges with recalling multiplication and division skills, and I would like to encourage you to help your child spend time practicing at home. I've included a page with links that students can you use to practice. Go HERE for that link (you can always find this link on the sidebar of this page- "Miss M's Links"). Thanks for your support!
We are starting "Project 107" in our class this week. There are 107 school days left, and we will be taking a photo per day to capture our favorite learning moments. One student will be responsible for this job per week, and we'll post our photos on Fridays. We hope you enjoy seeing what we're up to, from the eyes of students in our class.
We will be going cross-country skiing twice in the next month. Our first session is on Tuesday afternoon, and the second is on Thursday, January 27, in the morning. Please remind your child to dress warmly! If you would like to join us, you are more than welcome! I really enjoy these sessions- great exercise and lots of fun together outside. You can meet us at Douglas Park or take the bus with us from school (on Tuesday we will leave the school at 12:45pm).
Also, I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU for your generosity before the break. Thank you for the awesome gift card (you must be getting to know me- Sport Chek is certainly a favorite of mine!), and thank you for the thoughtful gifts sent by many. I am very grateful.
All the best to you and your family as you start a new year!
