MATH: looking at transformation geometry (combined rotation, translation, reflection on a coordinate grid) Share an examples of Global Tessellation patterns in PADLET

SOCIAL STUDIES: continue research in Local/Global Issues Wiki 

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.

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