This week in Learning:
MATH: Continuing with angles. Students should be getting quite adept at using their protractors. When correcting, I give them a 2 degree leeway either way, so they should be close enough.
We are also writing problems for others to solve, as a sort of "Escape Room" game.
SCIENCE: students are putting the finishing details on their aliens and planet brochures. They will be due Friday so as to present right away after Christmas. Astronomie Tests go home today to be signed. Please return asap. Thanks
SOCIAL: finishing greek pamphlets.. Due this Friday. Tomorrow is Greek day. Dress in togas to take full advantage of the experience. The gym is booked from 2h15-3h15 for the actual games. It is always a highlight of the unit.
FLA: finishing the novel study. There will not a be quiz on the novel, as the project should indicate that comprehension took place. Projects to be handed in Friday.
ELA: students are completing the myth story and art project that goes with it. Again, they are due this Friday to be presented after Christmas.
RELIGION: continuing with the 3rd week of Advent (JOY). How will we bring joy to others this last week of school. We will start to compile Warm socks this afternoon and they will be delivered Thursday to the MUSTARD SEED. Thank you for donating generously.💚
OTHER:
Party and pyjama day Thursday
Advent celebration Friday 1pm
Thursday, December 13, 2018
The students wanted to do a secret santa before Christmas, however it is going to be difficult, given the absence of some over the course of the week. We came up with an alternative. For those wanting to participate, they will buy a neutral gift up to 10$, wrap the gift and then on the day of our party, we will draw numbers to pick from the pile. Others who choose after the first one, will have the choice of stealing gift #1 or choosing a new gift. It is meant to be fun and not to be taken too seriously. Participation is optional. The gifts should arrive at school by Wednesday.
Also, speaking of our party, it will take place on Thursday all day, as it is also pyjama day. We will watch a film, play games and celebrate the coming of Jesus. Students have been signing up for snacks to share.(Please ensure that they are nut-free or at least ingredients indicated).

I have registered students to vote in the upcoming provincial elections. It is a great way to be informed and make a decision based on their research. As such, I need to know what riding they live in so I can order the correct amount of ballots (as opposed to all of them voting in the riding where St Luke resides). I need the answers by Monday Dec 10th. Here is the Elections AB website whereby you can search your riding if you are unsure.

SPARK/Brain breaks: we will have one student per week to set up a routine brain break and try to reach so many minutes per week. When we add the minutes we want to reach so many kms to reach a destination by a certain date. (1 min = 1km) If we achieve that goal, we will celebrate with a party/reward.
Math: unit test tomorrow am. We will be starting our next unit on patterns and equality in equations. There are still some students struggling with multiplication and division skills. Today we had a mini pratice of Part A of the math PAT. 5 simple math equations using decimals and whole numbers. Students are asked to take these, switch up the numbers and practice, practice, practice.
FLA: We continue to work on our Fairy Tale forensic crime scenes. Quiz on expressions using "avoir" and "être" this Thursday.
ELA: We will continue reading the novel "Chasing Vermeer". Personal letters will now be for homework due Friday the 12th.
Science: We are pretty much done our unit on forensics and the date for the test is October 16th. Permission slips for Youthlink have gone home today and should be returned asap.
Social Studies: We are busy working on our debate topics and students are compiling lists of 5 pros and cons for each topic. Thursday they will be assigned their side and be asked to put together their arguments.
Religion: Our symbol this year is a lantern and students are asked to think about how they can be a light to others. This week we look at the bible and some stories of how God is a light for us.
ART/Health: I will incoporate the two subjects and have students think about what they really want in life. They will then put together a collage on a silhouette to show their goals/dreams/desires.
Coming up:
Sorting clothes for the "Pass it on clothing" Wednesday a.m.
School pictures Friday

This week in Learning:
FLA: Bande Dessinée is due tomorrow. I have yet to see the signatures of parents on some quizzes. Please sign them and have your child show them to me. It is our way of communicating results on the students' progress and let's me know that you are aware of results. Thank you.
This week we begin an oral presentation that ties in with Science. Students will create a crime scene based on a Fairy Tale, including a crime, evidence, suspects and investigation. Should be fun.
ELA: we began reading chapter 5 last week and up to chapter 8 will be assigned today, including questions and decoding. Due tomorrow. We will also work on leter writing, beginning with a personal letter.
Social Studies: today students were given the 411 on how to run for class council. I have included the info in the next BLOG. Students NOT running will still have to do a speech on democracy.
We have also decided on the topics for our debates and students will be working on them this week and next.
SCIENCE: Today we look at chromatography, and try to forge someone else's writing (goes with graphology).
