1) Short Story test - Tuesday

For those interesting in joining the WE Team only, two paragraphs about WE Day due in one week


Pretty light night for organizing and homework.  Just so parents know, two study sessions have been given in school for the Short Story test.  I gave tips one some ways to study and gave time to create study notes in class.  Here's hoping for good results tomorrow.

Tuesday September, 2012

1) $8 for planners asap

2) Math - Grade 6 p. 11; Grade 7 p. 9 due Thursday

6) Canada Map due Wednesday (this was apparently in error yesterday!!)

7) Canada Map quiz on Friday Sept. 14

Monday, September 10, 2012

Monday 10 September, 2012

1) $8 for planners asap

2) Grade seven sheet (picture, not word search) due Tuesday

3) Please try to get the following items by next Tuesday:
sketchbook (nothing hugely expensive by any means; Michaels has some cheap ones)
dictionary and thesaurus (somehow these were left off the Grade 7 list; again, nothing expensive by any means)
French/English dictionary (this one is optional if you don't want to buy one)

4) First Spelling Pre-List is due Tuesday (usually due on Mondays) This is our spelling program for the year.   The children have been given a crash course on how the program works, but if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

5) Finish A Little About Me oral presentations Tuesday

6) Canada Map due Monday

7) Canada Map quiz on Friday Sept. 14

In addition to these, the students know that on the last day of each week, they will have a Spelling test based on the Pre-List they turn in at the start of each week.  I won't be putting the weekly spelling test on the homework board because it will occur, by definition, every week.  They have the basic idea of how this test will run (seeing as they each have individualized pre-lists) and after the first week, it will seem like old news to them.

7 items on the homework board might seem like a lot on the second day.  However, when you look at it,  two of the items are organizational and for the rest, I think the due dates are quite fair.  In addition, the students receive school time to do almost all of the assignments (Spelling being an exception; hopefully your child can explain the spelling program).

Wednesday 5 September, 2012

Hello and welcome back to another exciting school year.  Welcome also to the first blog of this year.

I try to use this blog to help parents stay informed on what is on the homework board at school.  I don't think the blog should replace each student's responsibility for filling out their planners.  I give the class five minutes at the end of each day to fill out their planners and clean up their work area.  This is just one more tool parents can use to ensure they know what is going on in their child's classroom.  You might notice that sometimes work is due one day after it is assigned.  In other cases, I might write something on the board and then post it with many days' notice.  I truly recognize how busy parents and families are and I will try to give fair dates for work to be completed.

I try to write in the blog every afternoon.  Sometimes, however, I am racing out the door to a volleyball game or something and so I might miss by accident once in a while.  I hope this tool is helpful to you and I look forward to meeting as many of you as possible at our Open House next week.

On the homework board today (it's really more organizational than homework):

1) $8 for planners asap

2) Grade seven sheet (picture, not word search) due Tuesday

3) Please try to get the following items by next Tuesday:
sketchbook (nothing hugely expensive by any means; Michaels has some cheap ones)
dictionary and thesaurus (somehow these were left off the Grade 7 list; again, nothing expensive by any means)
French/English dictionary (this one is optional if you don't want to buy one)
