The weather has changed. Hopefully everyone is getting ready for winter which will soon be here. Please ensure your child has an inside and outside pair of shoes to wear at school that are comfortable and they want to wear. I took their outside shoes from them after recess one day last week to ensure they were changing their shoes after recess. Thanks for helping us out with this task!
ELA--I will be checking reading logs on Monday for 150 min. of reading as well as Agendas for signatures. The students had an opportunity to view their peers My Life Projects on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. They look great!! As I am assessing them, I am enjoying learning about the students and am very pleased with the hard work put into their projects! Thanks to parents for helping out with this amazing keepsake for your child! We worked on descriptive paragraph writing using adjectives and adverbs as well as subjects, predicates and sentence structure. We will be starting a Creative Writing Story this week for Halloween. Four Reader Responses for October are due on Friday, Oct. 28.
Math--Gr. 8s are completing Ch. 2 on ratios and rates and will have a test on Tuesday or Wednesday. The Gr. 7s have started Ch. 2 on decimals and will continue to work through it this week.
Social Studies--We are concluding Ch. 1 by talking about different societies and working on defining our own societies.
Religion--We will be looking at the Apostles Creed and Lords Prayer.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns via email or call the school.
