Weekly Update September 22, 2013

Please remember to sign your student's agenda.  I check agendas Monday morning for signatures.  Home Reading should be included in the Agenda with the book name and time read.

ELA--We are continuing to work on our Timeline Project. Students need to write an autobiography and find at least three pictures from each year of their life to scrapbook electronically or manually.  This project tentatively is due on September 30.  Spelling Worksheets are due each Friday with a Spelling Test as well.  Two Reader Responses are due on September 27.  We will also be working on comprehension activities and adjectives/adverb activities.

Math--Gr. 7--Students will be completing Ch. 1--Co-ordinates and Design with a test on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Math--Gr. 8--Students will be completing Ch. 1--Representing Data with a test on Tuesday or Wednesday.

Social Studies--Students worked on some timeline activities working with dates using BCE and CE.  We will be talking about what history means to them and some vocabulary items.


If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call the school or email me directly.
