General Announcements:
Grade 7 Science:
EVERYONE: PLEASE HAND BACK YOUR TEST, SIGNED BY A PARENT/GUARDIAN. If you received a failing mark on your test, you are welcome to correct it completely and hand it back in and I will give you a passing mark. The reason I have not put the corrected test on the website (as I said I would) is because there is one student left to do the test! Please Mr. J come and do your test! ;-)
Grade 8's and Chocolate Sales
- We only have chocolate bars left to sell.
- If you want more bars, please come and see me at 3:10, either in the art room or my room.
- If you have bars/almonds that you haven't sold, and don't think you are going to sell, please bring them back and let me check off that they have been returned; don't just put them on my desk!
- If you have money, make sure you name is on it and please give it to me or Mrs. Smylie.
- I have emailed the company and asked if we can have an extension on our fundraiser to the first week of January. I will let you know as soon as I know!
Grade 7 and 8 Science Students
We will be starting a new unit in January. Both grades are moving into our Chemistry units: Grade 7's - Solutions and Mixtures; Grade 8's - The Cell. That means we will be wrapping up our units this week. All tests will be handed back, all posters marked and all ecosystems evaluated. You must get all work owing to me in this week by Wednesday, or it will not be evaluated.
We have had a fantastic first few months in Science. Let's keep going!
Class 7/8A Language
Spelling: We have finished our 5 week unit. The words you spelled incorrectly will be your spelling words for this week, and over the holidays. The work I assign for these words will be on the cloud, but if you prefer, we can print it out this week - however you learn best. I need you to know these words before you can move on. Why know how to spell if there is spell check? There are lots of reasons to know how to spell. Spelling correctly helps you learn patterns and predict new words when reading. Spelling correctly gives the reader confidence that you are knowledge about what you are writing about. Spelling correctly increases your vocabulary and you learn new skills with stronger reading strategies. These are all good things in language studies!Monday, December 16th, Day 2
