Happy Friday!

We had our "Welcome Back" assembly this morning in the gymnasium.  Students got introduced to our new mascot named "Harry the Hawk."

Next week we will be starting the novel The Giver in Language Arts, Patterns & Equation unit in Math and Trees & Forests unit in Science.

Welcome to Grade 6!!!

Students have been getting to know each other through a variety of activities these first few days.  We have been doing some activities with the other grade 6 classes as well.

We have also started an Introductory to Democracy in Social Studies and have also worked on a couple new art projects.  Students have already participated in two Gym classes with Mr. J and one class of Music with Ms. Smyth.

6CW students also visited the Library earlier today and received their library cards.  All students should have a book in their desks now to read on a daily basis.  Students will be participating in Snack & Chat at the end of the month with the other grade 6 classes.

Reminder that there will be no agendas this year and to check this blog on a frequent basis to see what is happening here at Hawkwood School.

Thanks!
