Time was given today to work on art and the cheat sheets.
Our science test is Monday, June 15
Our geography test Tuesday, June 16
We will also have a math test that week. Probably on Friday, June 19. That will be it for tests.
I will not be at the BBQ tonight. My daughter's school has their BBQ at the same time. To all those attending tonight, I hope you have a great time!
There is no school tomorrow. See you Monday morning!
A lot of work was returned today. That's because we finally had a pretty much full class today. I was able to get students to finalize things. All marks have been updated in Google Classroom under each subject. Those marks are not the final marks for the report card but they are close.
For each test (2 math tests, a history test, and a science test), I would like them returned and signed. If your child doesn't show you a test today, please let me know. I can provide you a digital copy. I have everything scanned and saved.
We are finishing our Sexual Health unit tomorrow. Those who have signed an exemption form, your day ends at 11:55 AM tomorrow. The lessons are going take place after lunch has ended at 12:55 PM. I will work with the grade 7 boys, Ms Ledgister will work with the grade 7 girls.
We spent the day catching up on Science and Geography. We also started a new unit in Math. Our next unit is Data Management and Probability. It is two units but they will be taught together.
Marks have been mostly updated in Google Classroom. Parents, you can check to see what the overall grade is in Google Classroom for most subjects right now. This mark is approximate. Their marks are also calculated by their in-class work and participation in class discussions and group work. So if your child is getting 80% in Science, that does not mean they are getting 80% on their report card. However, their mark should be near that.
We spent the day finishing up on tasks that were not completed last week. Time is running out for us so I am modifying what work needs to get. I removed a few assignments (I don't want to stress anyone out and there's quite a bit of work left to do). We will have a Geography test on Monday, June 15 and a Science test on Tuesday, June 16. I know that's a tough set of days coming up but we are starting to prepare for these tests tomorrow. For each test, students will get a cheat sheet.
A blue sheet was sent home today. That's our Swim To Survive letter. Please review it. If you have any questions, please let me know.
Yearbooks go on sale tomorrow. The cost is $15. It'll go live on School Cash Online on June 2
A new geography lesson was posted today but we did not get a chance to work on the activity. I didn't even get around to delivering the lesson. We will do this on Thursday and Friday.
We wrote the math test today. Students who didn't write the previous math test and the ones who missed today will write their math tests on Friday. Once those tests get written everything will be marked, returned, and grades posted in Google Classroom.
We spent the afternoon finishing up yesterday's lesson on news. We will continue with this unit on Monday. We ended the day in the library for book exchange and some cooler temperatures. It gets really hot in our classroom. Please make sure your child has a water bottle so they can refill them throughout the day.
Eid Mubarak to all who are celebrating tomorrow. If you have not done so, please record your child's absence through EDSBY (it's the easiest way). You can also call the school. Please indicate my name when you are reporting the absence. It makes it easier.
Thursday afternoon is Jump Rope For Heart. Water and sunscreen are recommended.
We worked on our sixth lesson in Science today. It was a repeat lesson from a previous Science and Geography lesson. We looked at thermal energy. We will continue with Geography tomorrow.
We finished our math unit on transformational geometry today. Our test is tomorrow. The test will be written at 10:15. Students will have 100 minutes to write the test (they won't need that long but they will have it). Review questions have been posted in Google Classroom.
We started a new literacy unit today. We will examine news headlines and news articles. The first lesson can be found in Google Classroom under Language. We did not get a chance to finish today's lesson.
Hello,
We spent the day at BORC today. The weather was perfect for the hike. The class was very well behaved and seemed to enjoy themselves very much. It is strongly recommended that everyone who went to BORC today changes their clothes and showers immediately when they enter their home today.
The Sexual Health exemption forms are due Monday morning. The form can be found in Google Classroom under Health.
