Curriculum Links


Grade 6 is a big year for students. If you're interested in finding out more about the EQAO testing upcoming in May, try going to http://www.eqao.com/, where you'll find information about past tests and sample questions if you want to see how ready students are for success.

If you're interested in finding out more about curriculum in general, please go to http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/curriculum/elementary/, which is the Ontario Elementary Curriculum site. The links there connect to all strands of the curriculum.

And, if you have specific questions, I'm always ready to answer them.

Upcoming in the classroom:

1. This Friday is Terry Fox Day. We'll have a morning assembly and an afternoon walk. Students who wish to bring in a donation for the Terry Fox Foundation are encouraged to do so and everyone is encouraged to dress in Red and White for our first Spirit Day.

2. On Monday, October 1, we'll welcome a scientist in the school to our classroom for a Classy Critters presentation, where students will get hands on experience with a variety of organisms.
