Classroom News - Dec. 1

Our 5/6ME class has chosen to add some "Holiday Cheer" to our school days for the month of December.  This Friday, Dec. 4 will be "Mad for Plaid" day - wear your best plaid shirt, pants, etc. 

Also, students have asked to have a 5/6ME Secret Santa.  This will be an optional activity for those who choose to participate.  The gifts will be exchanged on the last day of school (Friday, Dec. 18).  However, please return your gift idea by Monday, Dec. 14 (to allow for proper COVID procedures).  Lastly, please keep your costs between $8 - $10.  Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.  HO HO HO!  

For those students who were absent today, check out the Google Classroom - Math 5 and Math 6 

Homework:
Math 5 - Fractions Pre-Test (Wednesday, Dec. 2)
Math 6 - Dividing Decimals (Wednesday, Dec. 2)
Science 5 - Create-a-Skeleton (Wednesday, Dec. 2)

Reminders:
