Our First Few Weeks...

We've had a great first few weeks in grade 5 and 6!

Lots of new and exciting things have happened...

- Our grade 6 class turned into a 5/6 combined class -- we are very excited to meet new friends and to be working so closely with Ms. Kemp's grade 5/6 class!

- Our grade 5 Science unit is on Natural Resources. We are enjoying learning about Conservation of Energy and Resources.

Welcome Back!

Welcome Back... and Welcome to Grade 6!

It's going to be a very exciting year! We've got 10 months of new learning experiences ahead of us, and I am so excited to embark on this journey with you and your family! 

This blog will be one of the best ways for parents and students to keep up with what is going on in our classroom.

Homework: Homework will be listed on the "Homework Board" in our classroom. In addition, homework will be added to the top of the "Homework" tab of this blog on a regular basis, HOWEVER, homework will NOT be added to the blog every day. It is the responsibility of each student to keep track of the work that is due, and remember to bring it home and back to school.

This blog does not allow for comments/emails, but please feel free to be in touch with my by contacting me by phone at the school or through email.

Happy Learning!
Mrs. Longo
