1) Science Lab Report due Tuesday Dec. 6
2) Math p. 183 - actually due Wed., but given Vow of Silence will be collected Thursday
3) Math Test Thursday Dec. 8 on all fraction work so far and two more lessons; at least one review period will be given early next week
Also, the novel study is quickly winding down. Still, there are important assignments still to be turned in. The story map, for example, is like a 15 page comic book. Much is expected here and time is being given in class. I do hope the children are pacing out their work so that what they turn in on Dec. 12 is the best it can possibly be.

This entry is actually coming to you on Wednesday morning. My apologies, but my internet was down conveniently at 3:00 for the last two days and honestly by the time I leave here, there's no way I'm remembering what's due and when (that's why I blog it).
So from last night:
1) Math p. 179 due Wed (there will be a fractions test upcoming; I will give lots of notice, but kids need to know it's coming)
2) Socials p. 28 due Wed. (We started Mesopotamia this week; it will take us up to the Break and there will be a large test to finish the unit - just to let you know)
3) French - oral quiz on colours on Monday
4) Cont. having kids read one minute to me from their novels today and on until I'm done

1) Math p. 177 due Monday
2) Teach your parents how to view the class blog (this can be done without creating an account, so if you don't want to create a Twitter account, etc. you don't have to. You might not become a "Follower", but you can still view the blog).
3) Iceman questions due Monday (10 Qs - ensure they cannot be answered with Yes/No or one word)
4) Be prepared to read one minute from your novel starting Tuesday (oral mark - scoring their decoding)

We also had a very successful Science lab today where the kids changed a variable to see how yeast would grow. They had fun and were engaged, especially early on. A formal lab report will be due in the coming days, with time given in class to write it up.

We did an experiment to grow yeast in our class the other day. The only homework on the board is to bring their variable (if they have one) for a follow-up experiment which will be done tomorrow.

1) Peace March (Run) is on Wed. Nov. 16
2) Lonely Road Sketch due Wed. Nov. 16
3) French Halloween due Monday Nov. 14
Just as an observation: several of the students are waiting until the last second to do some work. For example, many of the students were scrambling to turn in goals, which were due today. The students get ample school time in which to work. This scrambling at the last second to produce an inferior product is a nasty habit to get into.
Rest assured: We do lots of work every day; the students get lots of school time to complete it and for those who don't finish or who wish to make it the best they can, they should be taking it home. As always, if you have any questions, you can always call me at the school to discuss this or anything else.

1) Remembrance Day letter due Thurs.
2) Lonely Road sketch due Wed. Nov. 16
3) French Halloween due Mon. Nov. 14
4) 6 Goals due Thurs.
5) Math p. 173 was due Wed. but there was no time to collect it, so it will be due Thurs.
Our Remembrance Day ceremony is tomorrow, Thursday Nov. 10, starting around 10:30. Please feel free to join us in the audience if you wish. Our class has a part in the ceremony that I understand the Grade sevens have traditionally undertaken.
Our sweatshirts arrived today!! I think the accent colours look great. I did recommend the students put some form of identification on their sweatshirts (on the tag perhaps) as they all look the same (coincidentally enough).

There are only a few items on the homework board right now:
1) Personal Inventory due 8:45 Tues.
2) Math p. 173 due Wed.
If you find your child isn't bringing home much homework, I always suggest kids bring home some of their work and re-edit it at home. There is always lots of work on the novel study to be had. Plus, kids can bring home their Science or Social Studies texts and review what was done in class over the previous few days. This last one is called home study and can really help to improve grades.
I try to give ample time in class to complete much of their work; the really organized and motivated students usually do just that. If you've seen some of your child's assignments and their marks are OK, but they still don't bring home much homework, you might want to ask them what they should be bringing home. They usually know.
