There are leaders among us...

So many great things happened in Grade 6 this week, here are a few highlights:
- Leadership schedule started.  Still a few kinks to iron out, but going well!
- Lots of new Math learning taking place, the best way to support your son/daughter is to have them take home their math work every night.  Have a quick discussion to "check-in" and reinforce topics we are discussing.
- Our blogs are coming along!  We have encountered a few snags with Blogger, but will try our best to use this tool to it's fullest potential.  Please hop on and check out what the students are doing.
- Book buddies was a great success!  We were paired with Grade 3.  We have had some great discussions about what it means to be a bucket filler as opposed to a bucket dipper.
- And of course, BYOD.  Our first time, a smashing success!  We tinkered with Pic Collage, iMovie, Stop Motion, Educreations, and Blogger.  There are so many great Apps that can support our learning.  Never know when the next BYOD day will be!
I hope to see many of you on Tuesday to our parent night.  If you cannot make it, please feel free to email me if you have any questions.  Also - if you have not signed up for Remind, please take a moment to do so!

Have a great week!
