Dear Grade 6 GCS Family,
Next week is quarter two!
In Math, students continued with their fractions unit. Our last topic we covered was subtracting with borrowing.
In Social Studies, we continued our study of World War Two. This week we discussed life back at home in Canada, and Canada’s contribution to the war effort.
