October is almost over! It's hard to believe we are only a short time away from Christmas!
Halloween--The students will be participating in the Costume Parade if they are dressed up. They will also be taking part in the student dance. After the recess break in the afternoon the class will be having French class. The students were told weeks ago that they would have to ask Ms. Carty if they could have a class party and they would have to organize activities and snacks. They did not speak with Ms. Carty. Therefore, they will have French class.
ELA--I will be checking reading logs on Monday for 150 min. of reading as well as Agendas for signatures. Students have be working on a Creative Writing Story this week for Halloween. I have conferenced with most of them and they will be presenting their final copy on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. Four Reader Responses for October are due today Friday, Oct. 28. Four Reader Responses will be due on Nov. 25. We have continued to work on descriptive writing, sentence structure, adjectives and adverbs.
Math--Gr. 8s started Ch. 3 on the Pythagorean Theorem. The Gr. 7s are completing Ch. 2 on decimals with front-end estimation. They will have a test next week.
Social Studies--We have begun Ch. 2 on The Early Peoples.
Religion--Pastor Schnarr visited us this week and the students had an opportunity to ask many questions about religion. It was very interesting and the students were very excited about Pastor's visit. We hope he returns again soon.
Art--The students started an art project with Ms. Kuhl for the Fall Supper. They are completing a Water Color Mural.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns via email or call the school.
