ELA & Religion--Students are now working on creative writing Halloween Stories. They will finish them up this week. I can't wait to read them and see how they went. Students also prepared a short presentation on Proper Chapel Behavior and presented. We talked about different types of writing styles, read a book about Timmy the Plastic Bag and watched the Rate and Review anti-smoking commercials. This week we will be focusing on Remembrance Day, completing our Halloween Stories and starting short stories.
Math--Grade 8s are working on Ch. 3 on the Pythagorean Theory and square roots. Grade 7s wrote a test on Chapter 2 and began Chapter 3 on Parallel and Perpendicular Lines.
Social Studies--Students completed role playing the workers who built the pyramids for Pharaoh. They also drew pictures depicting women's lives and jobs in Egypt.
Science--Students have been discussing boy system organization and single-celled organisms and will continue this next week.
French--Students worked on vocabulary and verb activities. The students haded in their personal dictionaries for marks. This week we are going to do some Remembrance Day activities.
Compassion Canada: 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.
Operation Christmas Child Shoe boxes--I sent home a sign up sheet the students created. Please bring in your item this week so we can assemble the shoe boxes. Also, we ask each family to bring $1 to help cover the costs of shipping the shoe boxes.
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.
