-We Practiced how to model integers with counters.   Students had some time to work on questions from text but we will finish it next class. 

Math 6 

-Students did a placement test so that I know where they are at with their basic math facts.  This does not count, but is used to help me know where to start with our learning this year. 

-The last 20 minutes of class we played multiplication war game.   Students will have a small assessment on multiplication tables at the end of the week.  They should be reviewing them at home this week. 

Science 7 

-We finished our activity from last class on water systems.  We shared our knowledge as a group.  Students were to write three points from what they learnt on a sheet and it was passed into me. 

-We went over lab safety.  We watched two lab safety videos and read a list of rules. 

-Students wrote notes on three equipment that we will be using in the lab this year. 

Welcome back to another year of school at Gretna Green.   We have spent the last two days learning about the “new normal”.    The students are doing a good job of following the guidelines set out by district and public health. 

7/8 MM FI will be located in room 213.   In our classroom they are a "bubble".   This means they can work together on projects.   They may wear their mask in the class, or chose to hang it on their desk.   In the halls students must wear their mask and keep 1 m distance from other classes. 

This week 7/8 MM eat the first part of lunch in the cafeteria with their cluster.  Our cluster is the 7 B and 8 BD classes.  Students must sit with their class and remain 1 m from other classes in their cluster.   They will be outside second part of lunch by the ball field.   Next week we are in the soccer field and eat second part of lunch.   We will rotate through the different “play” areas changing each week. 

There is no cafeteria this week.   Please bring a snack for recess.  Recess will be in our class.  We have a water fountain in our class. 

Students are being asked to hand sanitize as they enter and leave the class.  

Please note that teachers are on duty at lunch this year.  We can be reached by email or you can phone the school between 2:30 and 3 pm.   Their is no extra help or work room at lunch.
