The Week of May 24th - May 27th

Hello Everyone,

The long weekend almost felt like summer, except for the weather...We were able to spend some time outside getting the yard ready. Braigh and his mom planted flowers most of Saturday while Ollie and I mowed and trimmed the edges of the lawn. It was great to be outside!

Week at a glance:

Science:

Students wrote their Structures and Forces Unit test last week to conclude the unit. Tests will be sent home with students on Thursday of this week. We begin our final unit: Plants for Food and Fibre Tuesday. Students will be growing beans in a group and making observations throughout the remaining four weeks. We will also explore the many uses and functions of plants in our world.

Math:

Students concluded chapter 10 - Patterns and Expressions with their unit test last Friday. They will be sent home with students Tuesday. We will continue to build on what we learned in Patterns and Expressions as we apply it to Chapter 11 - Solving Equations.

*Students who struggled on their Chapter 10 test have been informed that they must attempt the "Practise Test" found at the end of chapter 10, mark it (using answers found at the back of the book), return their tests signed for Wednesday, and see Mr. L for extra help during nutrition break #1 (Wednesday) in order to earn a re-write opportunity on Thursday after school (3:30-4:15). The philosophy is that students must show an effort in preparation before they are able to re-write. Students on the band trip will re-write Monday of next week (3:30-4:15).

Have a great week!
