Welcome to Grade 6 GATE, your last leg of the elementary race. As your teacher, I am very excited to see where you bring the learning this year, for your voice is required to direct how we study the content. Our big idea this year is AWAKENING. It will be the launching pad for conversation into all subject areas and the umbrella that everything we do sits under. Our classroom is built on a level of mutual care and respect. I hold a firm belief that this is not my classroom but ours, we are all teachers and students and we all have roles and responsibilities within the learning community.
The Grade 6 curriculum is an exciting one as we strive to refine story, article and essay writing skills while looking deeply into sky science, flight and aerodynamics and how people organize themselves and then interact with their government systems. The full curricular outline can be seen by clicking the Alberta Learning link below.
I strive for strong open communication between home and school and will be using this website, agenda and email as my key tools for communication. Parents and students should have a clear understanding of how their child is doing and the subject matter that they are exploring.
All students and parents have all signed a DIGITAL CITIZEN contract and an AGENDA/ HOMEWORK contract. These have been put in place to ask the students to be mindful of their actions and to take responsibly for what they do.
Thank you for being involved in the learning journey this year.
