Hello Grade 6 Families,

This week, there will be two final unit quizzes in science and social studies. 

Please see below for dates and useful learning links.


1) Science Quiz on Aerodynamics and Flight tomorrow 

We did two review quizzes (one of which was online and provided them with an instant mark) today and every student knows whether or not they need some additional practice time tonight at home.

2) In Social Studies we are finalizing our unit on Ancient Athenian Democracy. The test will be this Wednesday.

Students are expected to analyze the social classes, evaluate the responsibilities of citizens and determine their influence in government. We are also learning about the structure of the first known democracy and its institutions.

Currently we are answering questions based on a text that explains these concepts in great detail as a final review.

Below is another overview learning link.



In math, we started our last unit of the year:

Fractions      Equivalent Fractions & Ratios which includes Improper Fractions - Mixed Numbers 

    2/3                           4/6                     2:3                                       8/3             =          2 and 2/3

Tree rings vary due to a multitude of factors such as, drought, competition for sunlight or water, fire or bite damage, infestations caused by insects, bacteria or fungi, etc. In class, we reviewed the causes and tried to piece together the growing conditions of each tree.
