ELA & Religion--Students should have completed their creative writing Halloween Stories. We have read a few of them and the students did great....very scary! We have started writing descriptive power paragraphs in our journals. We walked to MTYP and most students thought the play was o.k. I thought it was great! I am very excited to finally start short stories this week.
Math--Grade 8s have finished Ch. 3 on the Pythagorean Theory and square roots and will have their test on Monday or Tuesday. Grade 7s are completing their last two units in Ch. 7 on Area of a Parallelagram and Triangle. A test will follow.
Social Studies--Students are plotting temperatures and precipitation of locations in Egypt, Sudan and Winnipeg in order for students to see what pyramid builders had to endure.
Science--Students are looking at unicellular organisms and will move on to cell division next.
French--Students are continuing to study French verbs.Compassion Canada: We are collecting the $1/family/month for Compassion Canada as indicated in the letter sent home a few weeks ago. The money can be left at the office or put into the jar on the alter in the chapel area.
Operation Christmas Child Shoe boxes--The paramedics picked up the boxes on Wed. when we returned from MTYP. Thank-you to those people who brought in their items. I was very disappointed that 7 students did not bring in their items and had to make phone calls home on Wed. morning to have parents bring items in for themselves and others. Also, a big thank-you to Mary who donated $6 so that both of our shoebox shipping costs were covered.
PARENT/TEACHER CONFERENCES--This week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings we will be having conferences. Don’t forget to sign up on the bulletin board or speak to me about an alternative time. I have several time slots on Tues. and Thurs. afternoons from 2:00-3:30 if you are interested or we can meet at lunch or another suitable time.
