Thursday 4 December, 2014

1)  French Weather drawing and Leaves sketch are both deemed optional (not bonus) due to the fact that not enough school time could be dedicated to them; they will be for second term report cards; please let me know by Friday if you wish to have them count

2) Math quiz Monday (we partner studied with games today and will continue tomorrow - it seemed very effective)

3) Grade 6 Science quiz Wednesday and another period of study time will be given in school Friday for that

4) Grade 6 Social Studies Definition quiz on Thursday December 11 (study time was given yesterday and a clarification of some definitions was provided to ALL Gr 6 students today)

*5) Grade 7 Mesopotamia test date Monday December 15 (I offered Friday the 12th and some kids felt really strongly about it being after the weekend in an anonymous poll done in class)- now individual class time will be given tomorrow (Friday) and partner studying will happen at least on Monday of next week

***Also, a large part of our novel study is a story map (like a comic book) due December 16.  I am giving LOTS of school time, but you might want to ensure your child is on pace to finish without being too stressed towards the end.
