Hi everyone,

Congratulations on finishing the first day of EQAO!

Here's a reminder of what I mentioned at the end of the day:

• You have until tomorrow morning to submit the EQAO math review which I gave out on Friday (worth many signatures!!). Below, I will post a picture of the "Helpful Hints" that were up on the board on Friday.

• If you haven't yet handed in your dance permission form and paid (online or cash/cheque), please do so as soon as possible. Dance begins next week.

Have a great night!

Transformations video (tranSLations, reFLections, roTAtions)

Hi grade 6s,
Here's a video that recaps what we were doing this morning in math. It's an excellent review if you have a few minutes to watch it!

See you in the morning!

Mrs. Matheson

Equations, equations, equations!

Good afternoon, grade 6s!

As promised, here's a photo of your algebraic equations...anyone going to take on the challenge of solving them all?! (or as many as are possible to solve)

Also, this is a reminder of a few things I mentioned on Friday:

• math test - Tuesday
• please bring in any magazines you have that we could cut up for art
• yearbook orders are due Thursday (order online or bring the form and money to school)

See you in the morning!

Social Studies Inquiry presentations

Good morning everyone,

I'm going to post below the list that was on the board yesterday, outlining the order in which you've signed up to share your Social Studies projects on Tuesday and Wednesday (and Thurs. if needed).

We'll have another 100-minute work period on Monday and I will be available to conference with any students I didn't have a chance to talk with on Thursday or Friday.

Please use some time this weekend, if necessary, to do the "at-home" parts some of you told me you were waiting to do (talking with family members, finding photos, etc.). I'm looking forward to learning some new and interesting things from all of you!

Some updates

Hi everyone,

What crazy April weather we're having! I hope you've been enjoying a relaxing day off today.

Announcements you need to know about:

• The SMAC team is doing a one-week food drive, collecting non-perishable food for the Thornton Food Bank. Please bring in any items you would like to donate.

• Jump Rope for Heart forms will go home tomorrow. You can register at www.jumpropeforheart.ca . Our event is May 3, so all money and forms are due back that day.

Other important updates:

• The math test will be postponed until Wednesday. We will review together tomorrow.

• Social Studies inquiry projects will be due on Tuesday, April 24. If you want to be doing any work at home today, here is the assignment page. You could choose your 3-5 subtopics (smaller areas of focus within your larger inquiry), think of research questions and begin doing research online, create "interview" questions that you might want to ask family members, look for old family photos, etc.

See you tomorrow!
