Have a great holiday, grades 6, 7 and 8! It was truly a pleasure to work with you these past 4 weeks. I will see you in the New Year when I come to Gretna Green to work with the grades 3 to 8 French Immersion teachers and their classes in my regular role!
And grade 6, as promised, you will find a pdf file below with the answers to last night's homework (pages 101 and 102, #2, #4, #7 and #8).
Merci et à la prochaine!

We were invited to listen to a First Nations guest speaker at the library during science today. We enjoyed a wonderful presentation by Donna Augustine of Elsipogtog!
Math 7
We reviewed multiplication of 2 digit and 3 digit numbers. Students were given 2 worksheets to complete. They had most of class to do so. They have been asked to complete the first page in its entirety and to attempt 5 questions on page 2. This is to be completed for tomorrow if it was not finished in class.
Math 6
We finished Section 3.4 of the unit today which involves multiplying decimal numbers smaller than 1 by natural numbers. The concept reinforcement is on pages 101 and 102, #2, #4, #7 and #8. Students were given about 45 minutes during class to complete this work. Several students finished before the end of class. Anyone who did not finish is asked to do so at home.
