Weekly Update February 11
Spirit Week has ended and the students seemed to enjoy themselves. Thanks to all for participating.
We will watch the Rate and Review--Smoking Commercials on Monday. If you have any objections please email me.
I have been keeping students in at lunch recess if they have not completed their class work or homework. So far it has been successful for completing work but it has meant that I have students every lunch hour each week. As most of the students do not like going outside, this has seemed a great idea for them. Thus, the students finish their work at lunch but will receive consequences as well for not completing their work on their own time. So far, students have been doing cleaning jobs for Mrs. Sands but may also help Mr. Cardinal if this continues. I would like to encourage them to complete homework and classwork when required.
ELA—Three Reader Responses for February are due Mar. 1. Students will be starting their new Novel Study on Freak the Mighty this week.
Math--Grade 7s are working on Ch. 6, Fractions (Addition & Subtraction). Grade 8s are working on Ch. 6 Fractions (Multiplying and Dividing). Tests on both of these chapters will be next week.
