EQAO Begins this Week!

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend. As you may know, EQAO testing will begin this week. The grade 6's will do the 4 language tests first, followed by the 2 math test afterwards. We will only have one test per day. I have placed the testing schedule below. Please try to ensure that your child is here on each day of testing as it is much easier for students to write the tests in our classroom environment than it is to catch up in a different area. Also, it can be difficult for students to write 2 tests in one day, should they need to catch up.

Here is the testing schedule:

Thursday 24th: Language 1
Friday 25th: Language 2
Monday 28th: Language 3
Tuesday 29th: Language 4
Thursday 31st: Math 1
Friday 1st: Math 2

On Wednesday, May 30th, the grade 6's will be going on the escape room field trip, which should be a nice break from the testing!

Because of the testing, we will not have homework the next few weeks, and there will be little homework for the rest of the year. The students have been working hard this year, and they could use a break!

Best of luck to our grade 6's this week! Do your Best!

Vote for Your Valedictorian!

Attention Grade 6 students! Use the form below to vote for your valedictorian for the Leaving Ceremony. Remember that you can only vote once, and you cannot change your vote once it has been submitted, so choose wisely the first time. Voting will close by Tuesday after school. Good luck!

Education Week This week

This week is Education Week! We will be starting the week with our Education Week Mass at St. Patrick's Fallowfield on Monday, and conclude with our Open House on Friday. The book fair is also occurring this week, and our class will be going on Wednesday morning.

We are also getting very close to EQAO testing time! Our first test will be a language test on May 24th. We will be completing all of the language tests first, and then the math test afterwards. There are 4 language tests and 2 math tests. Each test will be about one block (although students can take longer if they need to), and we will only complete one test per day.

This week, we will be having a math test on Probability on Thursday. This is a fairly easy unit, so students should not find it too difficult. Our next unit of study is Transformational Geometry (flips, slides and turns) and then we will begin reviewing for EQAO.

In language, we are going to be completing many practice tests for EQAO in order to get more used to the timing of the test, and to self assess and practice our reading and writing skills.

In science, we have finished our reports and house designs, and we will have a test on our units in Thursday. Our next units are Flight for grade 6, and Forces Acting on Structures for Grade 5's.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at school any time.

Pyjama Patrol Drive

During the week of May 14th - 18th, St. Anne will be supporting the Pyjama Patrol by asking families to donate a pair of pyjamas for children who may not own any. If you would like to participate, please bring or send in a new pair of children-sized pyjamas, OR a donation can be made through School Cash Online. Then have your child wear pajamas to school on Tuesday, May 15th for a “thank you” Pyjama Day! We look forward to seeing everyone participating in this event and helping this project!
