Hello Parents!
Today the students started off
their day with UOI. They completed a worksheet, and then copied down
definitions relating to the Canadian government. This will help them a lot when
they start working on their summative (which will be handed out tomorrow).
While they were independently working on their UOI, I was completing DRA’s,
which will be sent home with the term 3 report card.
After lunch, we had a Spring
Fundraiser assembly in the auditorium (which cut into our Math period), and
then the students had Gym right after. After second break, the students had
French, and they filled out their agendas when they got back to class. We
decided to talk about the list of Role and Responsibilities for Canadian
citizens (for UOI), and we shared ideas that we found on the internet. Shortly
after, the students got ready to go home. Please
note: Students did not get their math tests back today. They will be sent home
tomorrow instead.
Just a few
important notes before I go:
1. Math: no homework
2. Novel Study: read chapter 11 and write
a corresponding journal entry (topic of your choice). Please make sure these
journal entries are at least one page, and are written in cursive writing!
3. UOI: review your list of definitions,
and become familiar with what they mean. This will help with your summative!
4. The Spring Fundraiser started this week! (See
the list below). The pledge forms will
be due on Friday, April 28th. Students who raise $35 or more in pledge
money will attend a laser tag trip for free!
