We're on the home stretch now! Only a few weeks of school left. And remember, these are weeks filled with activities so everyone should be doing homework at night in order to stay on track.
The grade 7s are gone from Monday to Wednesday on their Kananaskis retreat. Have a great, safe time! See you Thursday when you return.
ALL UNITS SHOULD BE FINISHED BY JUNE 12TH, WITH JUNE 15TH AS THE ABSOLUTE DEADLINE FOR HANDING THINGS IN. Don't worry, Tina and I will have activities for you to work on for the remainder of the school year. During that time we will be working a lot on writing speeches and how to be an effective public speaker.
WEEK OF June 4th - 8th:
GRADE SIX
Science: (Evidence & Investigation)
- I believe most of you have finished Evidence & Investigation. You should now start reviewing all of your units so you are prepared to write the science provincial exam.
- YOUR SCIENCE REVIEW UNIT WENT OUT AWHILE AGO. PLEASE DON'T LOSE IT AS IT OUTLINES ALL OF THE IMPORTANT CONCEPTS YOU NEED TO STUDY FOR THE PROVINCIAL EXAM. You must study your units, not just the sheet I gave you. It is simply an outline.
Social Studies: (China)
- This unit should be finished. I don't think any of you have finished it at this point so it should now become a focus for choice work.
- YOUR REVIEW UNIT WILL GO OUT ON MONDAY (TODAY). AS WITH SCIENCE, IT IS AN OUTLINE OF IMPORTANT CONCEPTS. YOU MUST STUDY YOUR UNIT NOTES.

Please continue to do your corrections for lessons that have already been handed in.
