The second week of May was exciting and brought many learning opportunities from Track and Field to Silverbirch and prepping for EQAO.  Have a fantastic weekend be safe and enjoy time with family and friends.

RAGTIME:  
1.  Bring in Props
2.  Brainstorm ideas for tableau

Parent(s)/Guardian(s): Please review Island School overnight camp forms with your child and return by the assigned due date.

Parent(s)/Guardian(s): We have started with EQAO preparations in our classes, and the pace is slightly different (slower) than it has been leading up to Business Day.  Please note that the students are taking part in the review process as it is a summary of learning of our Grade 6 program. Sample tasks from EQAO review booklets have been used and completed by students since the beginning of the school year. There are no moving targets of achievement, no tricks or surprises. An open-mind, a positive attitude and continuing to be contributing members in their own learning is needed from all students.
