Hope your long weekend was restful and filled with family gatherings.
This week in Learning:
MATH: today the students are studying and the unit test is tomorrow. Next we will look at patterns in numbers
SCIENCES: we will study the different properties of materials (fabric) and see how they can be studied as evidence.
SOCIAL: candidates will speak tomorrow for the student elections and tell us why we should vote for them...then we vote. Non-candidates will also do their speech tomorrow (how does democracy fit into my life) at the end of the day.
FLA: we will begin a new project which fits with our science forensics unit. Students will be asked to put together a crime scene (à la fairy tale) and incorporate all the elements of evidence studied so far. Quiz on expressions avoir et être Thursday.
ELA: we continue with Vermeer. Reading chapters and answering comprehension questions. This week students will be given the opportunity to write their first news article.
RELIGION: today we sort the clothing for "Pass it along clothing". This is part of the corporal acts of mercy that the church asks of us.
ART: we will learn how to draw one point perspective to then draw a scene, like Vermeer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wDZNup32CY
Sketchbooks are due October 30th
HEALTH: how to take care of ourselves spiritually, mentally and physically.
PHYS ED tomorrow...no gym strip, limited participation
Upcoming: pizza day and theme day: Book character... Thursday

This week in Learning:
FLA: today we went to the Learning commons and all students were asked to take out a novel or chapter book to write a book report, according to sketchnoting. So far they have to complete the setting and the problem by the next day 5.
Comics quiz to be signed and returned asap.
ELA: Today we read chapters 5 and 6 in Vermeer. There is a coded message that needs to be decoded. We will also learn this week how to write a news article which is a major component of the written portion of the PAT's. It goes well with this novel study.
Math: Today we learned whole numbers, both positive and negative. PP. 76 homework # 3, 5 ,6 7, 10a. Next week we will have a our UNIT test all of chapter 2 on October 15th.
Sciences: we look at tissue samples and what characteristics police look at when it is evidence.
Etudes Sociales: tests are going home today to be signed and returned. The first 2 chapters are the more difficult ones to understand as the concepts are very abstract. Next up, elections for class council and Student Vote. FORGOT to tell the class that the debate is tonight...have a look!
Upcoming: Food Drive
Thanksgiving Liturgy Friday
Friday day off PD day

I am finding that students in this class seem to think that homework is an option...
English stories were due last Friday and I am still missing 2. French comic books were due Monday of this week and I am still missing 7. Today we were correcting ELA comprehension questions of the novel study and I noticed several students without answers. Please take the time to speak to your children about the importance of handing in assignments. Without them, I am not able to do progress reports and let you know where your children are in terms of their learning. I cannot assess what I do not see.
For Monday: Bring in an ordinary object to explain how it is a work of art.
