Day One of the EQAO is over, and I think we all learned that some people need more sleep, and we all need full water bottles.
The Rose Ave water bottles have just come in so bring your $4 tomorrow to buy them.
Grade 6's finish Probability and please review averages.
Memorize and have someone test you on geometric shapes.
Grade 5's- Probability in MMS and JUMP and work on your Science report if you have time.
EVERYBODY- read and eat and get 9-10 hours of sleep. Wear clothing for running tomorrow and perhaps antiperspirant and bring an extra tshirt.

Homework:
-Math Makes Sense Transformational Geometry Unit, Lesson 6 for Grade 5
and Lesson 7 for Grade 6.
Science: Grade 5-Forces sheet and short assignment comparing the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Eiffel Tower, and the CN Tower.
Social Studies: Grade 5-You should have submitted your Primary-Secondary Sources assignment, your completed and organized Learning Portfolio, your RAFT project, and your reflection (on the back of your table of contents).
EQAO testing for grade 6 will take place beginning May 31st. We will be prepping the students in-class…and there is much you can do at home as well if you wish.
HOWEVER, the best preparation for a test is for a student to arrive with: a full stomach, adequate rest, lots of exercise, and a positive 'can do' attitude. Students and parents need to be aware that the EQAO results do NOT affect the student's report card or progress in school. They are a diagnostic assessment of learning in classes and schools as a whole, to help the education system determine where we are doing well, and where we can do better.
Programming will continue as usual in the morning, and field trips will resume after the test is over.
If you feel you need to do further preparation, you can download EQAO practice tests and have your child complete them at home. If you choose to download a test, please treat it as usual homework and do not put pressure on your child to spend more than their usual time on it. Your child may benefit from this review of their language and math skills. You may choose to do as many tests as you like (or none) and as much/little preparation as you prefer. It is up to you to mark and review the test with your child. Please see below for more information:

Hello everyone!
I am not with you but I am thinking about you. Ms. Melanson is keeping me up-to-date on the classroom happenings.
Please continue with Geometry in your Math Makes Sense textbooks and your JUMP workbooks.
We will have a test on Monday.
(Hint-it's very important to know the Math vocabulary.)
We will be going to Toronto Island during the last week of school. I am trying to get an adult to supervise. Please try not to book anything that week, as there is also Grade 6 Graduation.
See you on Monday!
Ms. M.

Welcome back! We had a very successful trip with a lot of nature and history.
We particularly enjoyed bike riding, feeding chickadees, playing on the beach, and making new friends.
Students may be tired tonight but are expected to be at school tomorrow.
