Happy Thanksgiving!
ELA--For Monday, and each Monday of this year, students will need to have completed their 175 minutes of home reading and have it logged for the week. The students are given 15-20 minutes of reading time per day to log in their Reading Logs if they read in class.
Students handed in their All About Me Projects this week and I hope to have them marked over the weekend. They also wrote a Thanksgiving story during the week and all of them are posted outside our classroom on the bulletin board. Next week I will be reviewing Listener Responses and we will be starting a book of Short Stories.
Art—Students completed a Leaf Rubbing Collage with an Acrostic Poem today. They are posted on the wall outside of our classroom for you to view. These will be going to the Fall Supper for decorations.
Math--Grade 7s completed Ch. 1 this week and had a test on Thursday. They will be bringing it home for signing on Tues. Grade 8s started Ch. 2 on ratios and are currently working on unit rates.
Science—We are working on glaciation/erosion. We will begin plate techtonics next week.
Social Studies—The students discussed fossil fuels, ic. Crude oil and how we depend on it. We began talking about our ecological footprint.
