ELA: students were assigned a greek god to research and given the rubric. They are to use caution with some websites. We had a discussion today about being mature and able to handle the information. Anyone not following this warning will be asked to do a research on something else.
the essential task is obtaining good information (web searches and finding the right info).
MATH: test this Wednesday. Next unit...decimals
SCIENCE: are you still observing the moon? We will go through the phases. If students have a flashlight or iphone with the APP, thye can bring it in and use for this section. We will also look at the sun (not literally, because that would blind you) but figuratively and know what it does for us in terms of astronomy.

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.

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.
