Welcome!

Welcome to our grade 5/6 class blog!  Thank you for being patient with me.  Blogging provides the opportunity to share all the exciting things that go on every day in the classroom.  I will try to keep things up to date so that everyone can follow the learning that is happening every day.

Since we are a combined classroom, there are a LOT of activities going on at once.  For example, the grade 6's will be starting a Powerpoint project dealing with international trade and the grade 5's have formed political parties and are campaining for their upcoming election.

Students have also been trying some problem solving strategies in math through Bansho.  I will be posting student work shortly so that you can learn more about this method of teaching through problem solving.

If you ever have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.  I look forward to a terrific year!
