Week of October 23-27
FLA: We had our last class for working our comic book and our speeches about democracy today. Our next unit will be a novel study and we will learn new vocabulary words as we go.
ELA: We have finished reading Vermeer and are now working on a practice newspaper article and then the students will work an article that will be marked. The article will be based on the novel Chasing Vermeer. (FYI...For the PAT's, students need to know how to write a newsarticle).
MATH: Using variables to describe patterns. This is a bit like algebra whereby we can figure out an unknown by keeping equations balanced.
Ex: 8n = 8 x n
or 8n + 25 = 97 how do you figure out what "n" stands for.
or if the pattern is 33, 34, 35, 36 then the expression would be 33+n and n=1
Social STUDIES: Just finished test for the introduction adn chapter one. We now move onto chapter 2 which Democracy in Action. We have speeches and elections for Student Council on Wednesday @ 1pm. Students Not running for council will present speeches onThursday.
ART: Sketchbooks are due Oct 27th
RELIGION: God is...
THIS WEEK EXTRAS:
Thursday Crazy Hair day and Pizza day

The Votes are in!
We were one of 252 schools to participate in the Student Vote Election. Of those 252, only 217 submitted their results. We were close to the real Election results in a few of the categories.
The grade 6ers voted Nenshi as mayor.
Ward 1: students voted for Coral Bliss Taylor
Ward 2: students voted for Jennifer Wyness
Ward 4: students voted for Sean Chu
Ward 7: there was a tie for Margot Aftergood and Dean Brawn.
I truly believe that this was a superb learning experience for the students. Next week we begin the speeches and voting for Student Council.
