Welcome to Holy Week

This week we have a few tests to finish units, so  your child has hopefully been studying since they were announced last week.
I am sending home a letter for the human sexuality unit that we will begin in May. It needs to be sent a month prior to instruction. 

This week:
ELA: kids are going to work on two projects.
1. Newspaper for the school in groups (will help with the functional  writing portion of the PAT)
2. Reading and questions from Shadows of Disaster. They should all be read up to and including chapter 6 at this point. We will continue to read chapters 7-9

Francais: Working on finishing our poetry unit wih 2 written poems and one quiz to analyze a poem.
Writing an opinion letter (again to practice for PAT functional writing)

Science: moving onto aerodynamics

Math: unit test tomorrow on fractions, percentages and ratios.
Starting geometry, area and perimeter.

Etudes Sociales: Unit test on Thursday for  municipal government. Beginnning Provincial government.

Religion: finishing the stations of the cross and preparing ourselves for Holy Week and the Tridiuum.

A reminder that if your child is absent from school, THEY are responsible to make up the missed work. THEY need to see me to see what they missed.

TOMORROW: wear old clothes or apron because we are doing papier mache.
