And we’re off! It has been a fun-filled first week with the students. We have enjoyed plenty of opportunities to play games, take part in hands-on challenges, and settle back into our daily routines.
After learning a little more about their teachers, the students created short slideshows to introduce themselves and share their interests, experiences, and goals. It has been wonderful getting to know everyone and seeing the students reconnect, collaborate, and begin building our classroom community.
As a class we established some Essential Agreements that we will sign and share with you on Seesaw.
We are looking forward to another exciting week of learning together!
Check out some pictures from the week here: 6A and 6B
Upcoming next week:
Maths – Our first math unit on number sense. The central idea is ‘Understanding the power of numbers enables us to make informed decisions and solve real-life challenges.’
Literacy – Our first literacy unit of the year with a central idea of ‘Effective communication through reading and writing enhances our understanding of diverse texts and their audiences’. Where we will look at descriptive writing and how to extend a sentence and to create an image in the reader’s mind.
UOI – For our year long ‘Who We Are’ unit our central idea is ‘Our learning journey can influence others and lead to powerful legacies’
