Whew! What a year we’ve had in 6E :)

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!  We couldn’t have had the year we did without your support, encouragement, and participation. I am so proud of each of the Elements, and the way they’ve grown and matured this year. What an amazing class!!!

Have a wonderful summer holiday, and a much-deserved rest. Be safe and have FUN!!

Research research research! That is the name of the game this week :)

Students should all have their lines of inquiry, questions from their lines of inquiry and supporting questions that relate to their area of focus within their groups. All students need to use a jot-note template to organize their research. Here is the presentation delivered to students today in the library…
