            Remember:  If you have worked a solid 45 minutes on the math homework and have not completed all of the assigned work, stop and have one of your parents sign your work to show me that you have worked hard for 45 minutes. That is enough time to spend on math homework.:)

grade 6 math:  Determine the surface area of both nets handed out to you today. Record your name and the surface area on the net.

 

grade 6 science: Flight end-of-unit test next Wednesday. Study skills workshop tomorrow at lunch recess. This is also the time for you to come and get copies of missed notes. Come with a copy of the note(s) you have missed from a friend's notes or come with the title of the note if you don't have a copy.

Tomorrow we will be recognizing Earth Hour. Wear blue and green:)

Tomorrow is also crazy hair day!!!!

Tom Wolf will be coming to give the workshop on Wednesday, April 6 from 3pm to 4:30pm. He is bringing some of his own drums too. I spoke with him for the first time on the phone today and I'm feeling really excited about the workshop. It's great to have this to look forward to. Yea!

Hi guys,

The drumming workshop has been temporarily cancelled. Don't worry. I am in the process of rebooking with Tom and will let you know the new date as soon as I know. At this point, it will probably not be before April 6th. Have a beautiful snow day:)

 

Earth Hour is being recognized all over the world on Saturday evening. In recognition of this, and to show our connection with the world population as we care our planet Earth, Aberfoyle P.S. will be turning off all non-essential electricity on Friday afternoon from 1:20 - 2:20. Friday is also crazy hair day. Everyone is encouraged to wear blue and green to celebrate the Earth. It should be fun!

Hi grade 6 students:

Homework today is about the Area Rule for Parallelograms that you discovered today in class.

Complete the chapter 8, section 2 handout (the back of the unit relationships page that you did yesterday).

Hi Grade 6s:)

First, I need parents to know that the students and I decided on Friday that if they I allowed them to write the Probability end-of-unit test on Tuesday, it would mean that we would be starting our Measurement unit today and would have measurement homework to do on Monday night.

Here is the homework:

We have already corrected the handout sheet except for question 4. Please complete question 4.

Also, from the textbook, pg. 241, #4-6

  grade 6 math homework:  first page of handout 'test'

grade 6 math test: has been rescheduled for Monday,  March 7

grade 7 math test: has been rescheduled for Tuesday, March 8

grade 7 science test: is still on Monday March 7

no grade 7 math homework was assigned today.

I will be in my classroom at lunch recess tomorrow if anyone needs help with any math or science.   

I'm sorry that I forgot to post the homework prior to leaving school today and now don't have the assigned questions with me.  I assigned questions that are similar to the test questions that the grade 7s will have tomorrow and that the grade 6s will have on Friday. I can work with grade 6 students who have challenges tomorrow if they let me know.

The intermediate drumming group will be open to all grade 7 and 8 students. The group will perform at Drumfest in June. In order to be in the group, you must attend a drumming workshop that is scheduled for Wednesday, March 23 from 3:00pm to 4:30pm. The workshop will be given by Tom Wolf, of Drum Cafe Ltd. Tom will be teaching us how to get the best sounds from our drums, will give us some rhythms to play, and will help us create some compositions for drumfest. Following the workshop, we will drum together twice per week (for 15 minutes during morning recesses on days 2 and 5) so we can be fabulous for drumfest and also because drumming is so much fun! If the first workshop is great (which I fully expect it will be), we will have Tom back for a second workshop.

7B homework: complete mid-chapter test hand-out, # 5-9

grade 6 homework: (textbook) pg. 408, #12, pg. 413, #6, pg. 410, #12

 

Probability end-of-unit tests: grade 7, Thursday, March 3 (the students knew last week that the test would be this week)

                                        grade 6, Friday, March 4

 

Reminder that the grade 7 science end-of-unit test will be on Monday, March 7.

The grade 6 end-of-unit science test will likely be at the end of the first week back after March Break.
