Afternoon everyone,  tonight students should be finishing off chapter 6.1.  Yes, this has been assigned for a few days now.  It seems that either this unit is proving to be harder than I anticipated or students are choosing not to do their homework.  This is the third hardest unit we will cover this year.  Developing expressions and equations from number and picture patterns is difficult.  I hope we can stay on top of this and really do well on the unit- it will definitely be a focus going into highschool.  Students also have a language assignment to do, they have an earth day evaluation to complete as well as some questions from todays lesson.  Just a note as well, students have a science reading and a quiz this Friday. 

Have a great night!

Good evening everyone, hope you all had a fantastic long weekend.  Well, the days are getting longer, and the weather is at least trying to improve.  It won't be long until full-time shorts weather is here. Today students had their recent math test returned to them.  Most did very well, there were a few that struggled- please ask how your child did on the test.  Tonight, students have chapter 6.1 for homework in math.  In language, we are continuing on our advertising unit- we have a few more commercial presentations to do tomorrow and then students will be working on some writing tasks.

On a side note, students will be receiving their Brock packages in the next week or so.  There are a variety of forms to fill out, please take your time with them so we can avoid having them sent back.  Speaking of Brock, some parents have expressed an interest as a chaperone.  We have two moms who have made the commitment and each have CPR and First Aid- thanks again for offering! 

Have a great night!
