I hope your Easter weekend was both restful and Blessed.

Last week 2 tests were sent home to be signed and returned; math and science.
This week:
Wednesday April 19th we have the pleasure of welcoming Cameron Fisher, Iain's dad, who will help us better understand the aerodynamics unit in Science. He is a pilot for the Canadian Air Forces and is on leave this week. I am looking forward to learning from him.

I am finding that some students are getting behind in their work, as they do not take due dates seriously. The further behind they become, the more difficult it will be to get caught up. I am no longer nagging for missed work. If they want something corrected and added to their mark, they need to see me.

Francais: Opinion letter is due Wednesday. We have worked on it last week and rough copies were due Tuesday. They are to be done on a Google docs and sent to me.
ELA: Rough copy of newsarticle due Wednesday so we can type them on the chromebooks. Also, chapter 7 reading was assigned last week.
Social: working on Provincial government. I corrected the tests over the weekend and if students studied, they did well. They will go home Thursday to be signed.
Math: continuing measuring triangles and naming them. this unit has a lot of vocab, so students should be reviewing every night.
Religion: Continuing the Easter season with Pentecost.
Sante: Students are to keep track of their daily intake again, concentrating on carbs, fibers, protein, etc. They will have a quiz on reading food labels April 26th.
ART: painting our papier mache sculptures Friday. Sketchbooks are due April 26th.
