<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">A student
mentioned that students are not all taking care of their paperwork.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We need to put more emphasis into
picking up after ourselves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Paperwork
is a problem for students near the file folders.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Everyone
wants their binders on the first shelf</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Some
students really have to squeeze into their seats</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Cultural
differences are well respected in out classroom</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Maybe
we could have an extra desk at the front of the room for the file
folders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">The artwork
on display looks great and really is wonderful in our classroom</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">At
the end of the day, students just want to rush out of the class to get
home and leave a big mess around their desks</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Instruments
are being left behind; pencils are on the floor; and bins are not neatly
piled on top of chairs</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">As
soon as the bell goes, people think they are done and everybody jumps up
to leave and the teacher has to yell.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">People
are not doing their jobs!!!</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">We
tend to be very disorganized!</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">It
was suggested that we spend 5 minutes before the bell rings getting our
classroom cleaned up</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">We
should have a designated spot got our instruments that don’t fit in our
locker</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Some
jobs require more substance because there is not a lot to some jobs! </li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Sometimes
you have to help out even if it isn’t your job.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Hammad
misses his job of turning on or off the projector</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Tidying
up is a great option if you finish your work early!</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Some
jobs need to be eliminated and others created such as “Turn On/Off
Computer” should be swapped for “Binder Organizers”</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">There
need to be consequences of not cleaning up after yourself.</li>
<li class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; tab-stops: list 36.0pt;">Tweeter

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">This strategy is used when regrouping is required. One of the addends is broken up into its expanded form and added in parts to the other addend. For example 57 + 38 might be calculated in this way: 57 + 30 is 87 and 8 more is 95.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">This commonly used strategy involves adding the front-end digits and proceeding to the right, keeping a running total in your head. For example, 124 + 235 might be calculated in the following way: Three hundred (200 + 100), fifty (20+30) nine (4 + 5).</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Rounding involves substituting one or more numbers with “friendlier” numbers with which to work. For example, 784 + 326 might be rounded as 800 + 300 or 1100.</span></span></div>
</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">This strategy involves adding from the left and then grouping the numbers in order to adjust the estimate. For example 5239 + 2667 might be calculated in the following way: Seven thousand (5000 + 2000), eight hundred (600 +200) – no, make that 900 (39 and 67 is about another hundred).

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Compatible numbers are number pairs that go together to make “friendly” numbers. That is, numbers that are easy to work with. To add 78 + 25 for example you might add 75 + 25 to make 100 and then add 3 to make 103.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span">Knowledge of the compatible numbers that are used for mental calculations is used for estimation. For example, in estimating 76 + 45 + 19 +26 +52, one might do the following mental calculation: 76 + 26 and 52 + 45 sum to about 100. Add the 19. The answer is about 219.</span></span></div>

Just a reminder to all families that our trip to McNab's is this THURSDAY. Parents accompanying us are: Megan's Mom, Andrew's Dad, and John's Dad. Please remember to dress in layers and bring at least 1L of water, a healthy lunch and snacks for the morning and afternoon. Comfy athletic footwear is also essential as it will be an activity packed day. Drop off will be at DeWolfe Park by the wooden play structure at 8:00 and pickup will be at 4:00 at the same location. If you would like your child to be able to walk home from the park please send in a note prior to Thursday morning. Thanks for your support!<br />

Students sitting in groups with kidney shaped desks. <br /><br />➡2 whiteboards in every classroom is the new standard. <br /><br />➡Smart sync so that you can see what each student is doing in their classroom. SMART notebook express for we enabled devices - not available for iPads because it is flash based. <br /><br />➡Express.notebook.com<br /><br />➡6.99 Notebook App on iTunes. <br /><br />➡New 800 board series as a steel backboard and four cameras. Allows up to 4 users to use it at once. <br />➡600 series is a single user board. <br /><br />➡How does SMART fit into the developing trend of gaming in education?

<br />
June 15, 2012<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Dear Grade Six Parents,<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As a reminder for all students participating in the grade six trip to Bayside Camp on Monday, June 18, 2012:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
1. Please leave all electronics, including cell phones and ipods at home. In case of emergency and you need to contact a student, please contact Mrs. Tulloch at 229-7377 or Bayside Camp at (902) 868-2267.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. All students must have a packed lunch for Monday. No food will be available to purchase.<br />
<br />
<br /><br />
3. Students should not over pack. Camp supplies should fit into one bag as we have limited space on the bus.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. Parent volunteers are asked to bring their own vehicles or carpool if possible as we have very limited space on the bus. Some space will be available in Mrs. Tulloch`s vehicle.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Any questions or concerns that need to be addressed over the week-end, please call Mrs. Tulloch at 229-7377or e-mail Tullochs@staff.ednet.ns.ca<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. Please make sure your student arrives promptly for the bell on Monday morning. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
7. Parents will be responsible for picking up any students who do not follow camp rules and or School Code of Conduct.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
8. Students who do not arrive with appropriate gear will not be permitted on the trip.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
9. Snacks will be provided, however, if students feel the need to bring snacks, they may. Students will not be able to eat on the bus and should not keep open food items in the bus.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
10. Students who get motion sick should ask to sit at the front of the bus or take Gravol before they come to school.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

1. Be respectful to all your classmates and Mrs. Tulloch. Always treat others the way that you want to be treated in 6Tulloch. Good behaviour pays off for everyone!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2. Work hard and try your best. Don’t be lazy and don’t take short cuts to get your work done. Do it right the first time. <br />
<br />
3. You will need to practice your writing because you will do a LOT of it this year.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
4. At Christmas time, buy Mrs. Tulloch Starbucks cards (caffeine in a card) and chocolate. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
5. Do not be afraid to correct Mrs. Tulloch. She makes mistakes and is wrong a lot but she’s not afraid to admit to her mistakes. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
6. Always be ready for a new project. You never know what is coming next… there are learning opportunities around every corner.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
7. Respect the volume in our classroom and control your blurt-outs. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
8. Stay dedicated and commit to your work. Every little thing you do in the classroom is part of your learning and shows up somewhere on your report card.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
9. Don’t be afraid to pitch new ideas. Nobody is wrong on their opinions. Little ideas can get us far, as can be seen with the STEM NS Project. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
10. Don’t tick the teacher off. You may get sent to the office if you do. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
11. Be patient. If there is a time when you have to wait, make good use of your time – read a book, complete unfinished work, or write in your writer’s notebook. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
12. Get used to the smell of coffee and the sound of Mrs. Tulloch’s coffee maker. Mrs. Tulloch loves her lattes. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
13. When switching between subjects, don’t be noisy. Have quiet and quick transitions. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
14. Nobody is perfect. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes and accept the mistakes of others.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
15. There are no problems, only SOLUTIONS!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
16. Don’t be afraid to try new things that are outside of your comfort level. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
17. Respect the fact that there is one teacher and many students. Sometimes she needs some “me” time. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
