Welcome to Classoom 6/7-Long

Our wonderful custodian, Mr. Johnny is putting out a reminder to all students to please wear indoor shoes when they're inside the school - particularly the classrooms and the gym.  Continuous grit being brought inside is causing unnecessary wear and tear to the floors.  Shoe grit on gym floors can lead to unpleasant surprises to the knees/elbows of anyone who goes to the ground in a game or activity. If you could verify with your child that they have indoor shoes at school, I would be grateful.

The grade 6's will be participating in their first EQAO (Education Quality and Accountability Office) assessment.  Their grade 3 year was, of course, interrupted because of COVID-19.  The grade 6 assessment will begin on Wednesday, May 22nd and be spread over the following two days.  During the periods of time in which the grade 6s are engaged in the assessment, the grade 7 students will be assigned to classrooms throughout the school, where they will carry on with their learning. The students will be writing EQAO in a completely digital format.  We have familiarized ourselves with the assistive features of the program, and have had the opportunity to complete some practice runs using samples provided by EQAO.

I took these pics Friday night in my backyard. It was spectacular!  

 Students in 6/7-L are getting ready for the MTPS track meet coming up on May 28th/29th.  Many students have been practicing on the long/triple jump pit or trying out shot put.   Mr. Harvey joined us for a gym class last week where he explained safety guidlines and proper techniques for completing the high jump.

Students from 6/7-L participated in a school-wide Celebration of Dance.  The following images show our lead-up practices, through to the Celebration of Dance event on Tuesday, May 7th. Click HERE to see a short video.

Four students from 6/7-L demonstrated impressive skills at the school talent show on Tuesday, April 30th. Click here to see a quick video of our superstars.

Morgan contributes positively during classroom discussions and within small groups.  She uses exceptional communication skills when engaged in small and whole-group activities, and actively listens to, considers and respects the opinions and perspectives of others.  Morgan demonstrates teamwork and leadership skills when engaged in physical activities and when working in the classroom. Congratulations Morgan on receiving the 6/7-L Terrific Kid Award for fantastic collaboration.

  Our math specialist, Mrs. Wilson, is in the school once a week (or twice if we're lucky)  to work with the students in small groups.
