Welcome back! Another great week in 6-7-8 (FI) Glazier. A reminder to parents/guardians that Thursday, Oct 7th and Friday, Oct 8th will be professional development days for teachers, hence NO school for your son(s)/daughter(s). Also, feel free to check out the pictures from our amazing time spent in Tatamagouche, NS on the school website. It was a wonderful experience for all!
French - Next week we will continue with the "Ideas" theme for our writing traits as we commence a new Informatif writing piece. Grades 6-7 students will be expanding their autobiogrphies while other will be working towards creating a biography. Grade 8 students will either be working on a personal journal or a biography as well. Wednesday's classes will incorporate a Thanksgiving theme. Students will complete a comprehension assignment and build upon their current vocabulary.
Math - Pop quiz on Monday relating to place value of numbers greater than 1 million. Next, we will work on order of operations (excluding exponents). Please let me know if you wish to have any additional work for your child to compete at home. I can make arrangements to do so :) A reminder that Friday's classes serve as a review/catch-up on work day. Next week I will be posting various links to math sites that students are explore at home. In the upcoming weeks, I am excited to announce that we will also begin to incorporate various forms of technology in the classroom whilst competing our math. Stay tuned :)
Feel free to contact me at school if you have any questions, comments, and/or concerns. I will return your messages as promplty as I can. Cheers.
