ELA: working on newspaper articles for Vermeer and Pentominos (get those brains working). The novel study will be due next week.
Quiz on FIgures of speech Thursday Nov 2nd
MATH: using graphing and coordinates. There is a quiz on the first part of chapter one Thursday Nov 2nd, Les regularites et les variables.
SOCIAL: There is still one student who has not written the test. AS soon as that is done, they will go home and need to be signed and returned. Working on debates this week.
RELIGION: Looking a Moses' life and how he was guided by God's light.
ART: Painting a la Vermeer, one point perspective
MUSIQUE: almost done with presenting projects and then students will be in charge of the music program over the intercom after lunch. Some may have to revamp their blurb as not enough information was given with respect tot he genre they chose.

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.
