MATH 6 - We've had a great few weeks getting settled. Our interactive notebooks are now ready to go for our first unit-Number Sense. Students will be learning about ratios, fractions, decimals and percents. Your child should bring home his/her notebook daily in their accordion. This can be a great resource when completing the iXL. iXL weekly lifework will start next week. I will do a brief tutorial and make sure everyone has their username and passwords (those who had them last year will remain the same.)
EXTENDED MATH 6 - Extended's first unit is the same as Math 6 (see above)
Mr. Cardone - Social Studies
We will begin our first unit of the year, geography. Students will review map skills as well as the continents, oceans, and geographic features. We will also begin looking at historical documents and analytical skills.
