Welcome back. I trust everyone weathered the recent bout of snow storms. I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but we will continue working through the material that had been planned for last week. With that being said, the schedule is as follows:

French - Grades 6 and 7 students continue to draft an informative writing piece, whilst the grade 8 students continue to delve into the sections of a narrative writing piece either about a tale/legend or an adventure. As always, writing traits continue to be taught throughout as well as grammar, verbs, conventions, homophones, guided reading, etc.

Math - We have begun a new unit on fractions. Thus far students have related improper fractions to mixed numbers and vice versa. This week our focus will be to compare the two. Next week focus will be ratios and percentages. ***Homework will be assigned this week***. Please ensure assignments are completed. Let me know as well if you wish to have any additional work for your child to complete at home. Refer for my "web link" for numerous math websites to practice at home.

Mathletics is also well underway. Activities have been assigned to practice at school and at home. Feel free to browse what you son/daughter has completed to date. Students will be told in advance when Mathletics is assigned for homework

As always, if you have any questions, please contact me at the school. I will respond promptly via telephone. Let's have a great week at GG!
