Nothing was written on the homework board today. We couldn't think of anything that needed to be on there.
Neil Brookes came in today and we have our salmon eggs. Most of them have been named and we intend to take good care of them. Students were able to hold the eggs and look them in the "eye". They are expected to hatch in January. How exciting!
Math: Unit 6 test for grade seven students today. Many students have planned to finish the test tomorrow. Those that are done will take them home tomorrow with the review and study guide attached. This needs to be signed by a parent and returned. There is an opportunity for rewrites next week if students make appointments in advance. Grade 6 students completed their Unit 1 test and all of these students will arrive home with their tests and study guides tomorrow for signatures. (they did well)
Socials: We were in the middle of a very serious discussion when Neil arrived. Needless to day, that discussion had to be put on hold. We have created a quality of life indicator list and will be reading about two children from different areas of the world. One child is from the developing world and the other from the developed. Students will compare the lives of these children, using the quality of life indicators.
Red Team Banner: The red team created a banner today. Every child and adult in the red team is featured on this.
Reading: It was our library day. Each student needs to have a book at a 'just right reading level' for next week. A graphic novel is fine. We will begin book reviews as a writing genre.
Science: Chapter 1 tests will arrive home tomorrow, with a self-assessment sheet attached.
