Music Friday

This is a posting for parents to inform them that I am going to have designated music times on Friday. This means that students can bring in their IPOD's, Discman or even cassette players if there are any of those still kicking around. The only rules are that they need to be played with headphones and only during the times that are allowed.

Spirit Day!!

Don't forget that tomorrow is Spirit Day so be sure to put on your Blue and Gold clothes after you stumble out of bed in the morning.

*Exploring Multiples (common multiples)
*Prime and Composite Numbers

Scholastic Forms

I am just getting ready for the senior boys softball tournament but I wanted to remind all of you that you must bring in your Scholastic forms tomorrow. The supply teacher will remind you of this at the end of the day so be sure to put this in your agendas.

Memorizing Math

For those of you who were away today, all of you are going to be responsible to have your multiplication tables memorized up to 6. That means that you will need to know everything from 1 X 1 up to and including 6 X 6. There will be a quiz on this Tuesday morning.

Mr. Ross

I'll Be Back Tomorrow

Hello 6A! Hopefully you guys had a great day, sorry that I could not make it in but I will be back tomorrow morning. If you have not already noticed I have added an Agenda and an Important Dates section to our webpage. See you all in the morning!

Mad Minute... On you mark, Get set, Go!

For the record, I have never seen a class more focused prior to doing a Mad Minute. It was as if you were all preparing to run the 100m dash for an Olympic gold medal. If you would like to practice on your own time, there is now a Mad Minute link added to our webpage. You just need to grab yourself a timer and a whistle and you are off!!

This is a posting for students and parents. First of all let me begin by saying that I could have asked for a better start to the new year. All of you boys and girls have made this first week a lot of fun. I have changed the setting for this webpage and have decided to allow comments to be made with each posting. Hopefully this will make for an easier line of communication.

Reminder to students:

I am going to have a Question Box set up on the counter for you to put ideas you may have for community circle.

If you were able to solve the riddle, be sure to put the answer in your agenda for Friday September 7th.

Moving Day

I had a great day today and am now looking forward to this year more than ever. For those of you who check this tonight there has been a change in our class lockers. We have been asked to move down the hall to make room for some of the grade 8's. After announcements I will give all of you the new locker numbers so save the decorating and organizing for later on in the day.

Welcome Back

Hello boys and girls! Welcome back for another year. For those of you who do not already know, I am the homeroom teacher for Grade 6A and also the science teacher for all grade 6 classes. This is going to be our class webpage where you will find all assignments, projects, and upcoming events. I look forward to getting to know all of you this school year.
