Not much homework tonight. We are starting a new unit on measurement and students were assigned questions 1-12 in the first chapter. 

Thanks to our parent who came out tonight for our grad meeting.  I have received emails from a few parents who have offered to help out in a number of capacities and we thank you for that. Offer still stands, if you would like to help out, we would be glad to have you.  Please email me and I'll fill you in!

Have a great night.

Hello all,

Hope things are well with everyone.  We are getting very busy for the end of the year.  We are still working hard with lost of last minute learning.  Students are writing a small, non fiction about technology- something that has improved life for Canadians over the last century.  The topic is fairly wide open but we are working on different types of non fiction where students might write some sequential, enumerative, descriptive, cause and effect or compare and contrast paragraph as a means to speak to their particular subject.  They are still writing an introduction, 3 paragraph bodies and a conclusion but we are trying to diversify our writing styles to make the content more interesting. Students should have their planning sheets done by now and they should be working on their introductions.  We have spent a considerable time with opening sentences so I'm looking forward to some really creative stuff!  Students wrote a math test today so there is no math homeowork - perhaps some students need to be working on the planning sheet.  There is also some other language in some comprehension questions I gavethem this morning.  Students also have some French due tomorrow and some Science due Thursday.
