Thursday 31 October, 2013

Happy Halloween!  You will notice anything happening for tomorrow isn't exactly "homework".  I'm sure the kids will be too busy tonight for that.  One exception:  we do have our Spelling test tomorrow, but I know everyone's been studying hard earlier in the week so that won't be a problem.


1) Value Scrolls sketch due Friday November 8

2) Lonely Road sketch due Monday November 18

3) Gr. 6 SS Sita's Day circle graph Monday

4) Gr. 7 Science p. 35 Qs Monday

*5) Feel free to bring a picture of an animal (or pet) for painting on Friday (optional)

*6) Gr 6s please bring a few leaves for a Science experiment Friday

Tuesday 29 October, 2013

1) Socials - Gr. 6 p. 19 and Gr. 7 p. 26 due Wed

2) Math p. 205 Gr. 6 due Wed

We are underway with our World War II novel study.  There is a lot of work to be done just on this novel study over the next several weeks, but I will give as much school time as possible (while still teaching Math, Socials, etc.).  Your child has (or should have) written down the due dates of all of the assignments in their homework planner (which, yes, I would still like you to look at and initial every night).  

Also, I sent home a notice today about three curling lessons we will be going on in November.  I have done this at other schools and it was met with great enjoyment then.  I hope Port Guichon enjoys it, too.

***Also, we began discussing a novel study I would like to begin this week superficially and in earnest next week.  I want to explain the novel study to the students tomorrow as well as give them due dates (which they will put in their planners) and show them examples to help them know what to expect.  Ideally, I will also have some examples to show you when you come in for Parent-Teacher Interviews this week.

In addition, although it's not on the board today, Grade 6s can anticipate a unit test in Math (Chapter 3) at some point soon (perhaps late next week, but it depends on how quickly I get through the work)

Grade 7s can anticipate a Science Chapter 1 quiz late next week; I will try to wait a few days after the Math test so as to spread them out.  However, 7s can always begin reviewing at any point.  I also anticipate giving the 7s class time to make study notes.

For both grades and their Math exams, I have some online review they can do to help them prepare; that will happen when I get a little closer to their evaluations.
