This week in Learning:
MATH: finishing up this unit this week. Looking at maintaining equality and then there will be a test next Tuesday (unless disruptions occur and then I will change the date).
FLA: we are still working reading comprehension and it is going well. Students have a tendency to NOT look up words they don't know and I am trying to break habit. Even I don't know all french words.
ELA: we are finishing Vermeer. Today students were given a rubric for this novel study. If they have been up-to-date with everything, there should be no panic. Rubric includes: comprehension questions, title page, decoded letters and a news article about the painting being found. These are all due this Thursday Nov. 14.
SCIENCE: still looking up? This week we will look at the phasdes of the moon, rotation and revolution. we have a field trip booked to Telus SPARK on November 28th. If you know of your availability already and would like to join us, please send me an email. I will have more details to come. We will be leaving 8h50 and returning 2h30ish. I will reply personnally to confirm whether you are coming or not.
SOCIAL: tests are corrected, but one student has been ill and has not written yet. Hoepfully this week they will receive exams back. Already an improvement in marks and effort.FYI the first two chapters are more difficult as the concepts are so abstract. We begin Ancient Greece this week.
RELIGION: students will presenting chapter 2 knowledge to the class this Thursday and Friday. How does the church bring us closer to God. Scrapbooks and journals are due this Wednesday.
ART: finishing water color painting à la Vermeer hopefully tomorrow.
CTF: students should be completing their slideshow to present to PArent Council in the near future.
