Good Afternoon!
I hope you are enjoying this burst of nice weather.
ELA & Religion--Students completed reading assessments this week with me and did some of their home reading in class. They also worked on a Noun and Capitalization review. We will be doing some Religion/ELA based classes next week with focus on Halloween.
Math--Grade 8s started Ch. 3 on the Pythagorean Theory and square roots. Grade 7s are completing Chapter 2 on decimals and estimating and will have a test at the end of next week.
Social Studies--Students wrote a test for the first unit and began their second unit on Egypt.
Science--Students finished our basic discussion on diffusion and osmosis. Next week we'll work on designing an osmosis experiment.
French--Students are working on Fall Vocabulary/Study and doing some Halloween activities.
There is a Winnipeg Harvest collection box in the front hallway of the school. Please feel free to send items to donate to Winnipeg Harvest.
Also, we are collecting the $1/family/month for Compassion Canada as indicated in the letter sent home a few weeks ago. The money can be left at the office or put into the jar on the alter in the chapel area.
Agenda Check--EVERY MONDAY
Home Reading--It is essential to the progression of the student's reading level to complete the home reading each week. Students need to read 150 min./week and log this in their Reader Response Journal. The log must be signed by a parent and then a response is written each Monday. Many students do not get their parents to initial their log as well as MANY STUDENTS ARE NOT COMPLETING THE READING. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ASK YOUR CHILD ABOUT THIS.
Shops--Oct. 29 The students should have brought home a calendar with all of the days highlighted for shops.
Halloween parties will be on Fri. afternoon. Ms. Paul will be giving the students more details. They will have a costume parade, a dance, and a party. Please make sure costumes are not of the scary nature: no masks, blood, weapons, etc.
Have a great weekend!
