Happy Thanksgiving to all!
I truly hope the Lord blesses us with good weather and a delightful, funfilled family weekend for everyone!
ELA & Religion--The Timeline project will be due on Wed. Oct. 14, after the Thanksgiving weekend. The students have been busily working this week and hopefully will be ready to hand-in a completed "scrapbook" Wednesday. We will be reviewing literacy circles and reading some short stories to reinforce and develop good discussion skills and role review with literacy circles. Today we had a "Thanksgiving Day". We did some sharing and talked about some history about Thanksgiving. The students completed some written work and it will be posted this afternoon on a new bulletin board outside our room. They are also completing a Thanksgiving Mosaic picture that will be posted on Tuesday.
Math--Grade 8s have started Chapter 2 and have completed 2 units this week. Grade 7s had a test on Wed. and were to have it signed and returned today. They have just begun Chapter 2 on decimals.
Social Studies--Students have been discussing religion, government, farming, food, medicine, housing and clothing of Mesopotamia.
Science--Students discussed animal and plant cell structures.
French--Students are working on Fall Vocabulary.
Scholastic book orders are due on Wed., Oct. 14.
Spirit Week was very interesting. There is quite a mix of participaters in the 7/8 class. I think they did enjoy it! Only a few Tasks for Terry sheets have been returned. Please bring them in on Tuesday if you forgot.
Agenda Check--EVERY MONDAY
Shops--Oct. 13 The students should have brought home a calendar with all of the days highlighted for shops. Let me know if you didn't get one.
Have a safe and happy holiday weekend!
