This week in Learning:

This will be a week to finish the important material still left to cover before the PAT's. We will also be doing practice tests on Exam bank. The school has purchased log-ins for the students to use AT SCHOOL. You may purchase additional log-ins for practice at home, but if students use their time wisely in class, there should be no need to buy additional log-ins. 

FLA: finishing Hockey Lecture. One more round tomorrow and then the finals, Wednesday before the PAT THURSDAY am.

Math: Transformations, which means taking a geometric figure and moving it to make a motif. There are easy ones: slide and reflection. Most of our time will be spent on rotation. Students wanting to do extra to study...cumulative review pp 328-331.

Religion Quiz tomorrow on the Easter Season, Scrapbooks due Thursday.

ART: sketchbooks due Wednesday.

SCIENCE PAT this FRIDAY am.

I would like to request that your children have a good night's sleep and that they eat a healthy breakfast before the PAT's. I have heard around the classroom that they grade 6 PAT's don't count. In fact they are a very good indicator of how a student will perform in Grades 9 and 12. I don't believe in stressing the kids out, but I do believe in good studying habits and being proud of their accomplishments when they work hard. 

Please send an extra bag for items that can go home before the end of the year.
