The week of May 9th- 13th

Hello Everyone,

We had a great weekend enjoying family, friends, and Mother's Day. The boys were very excited to give their mom some special soap and bubble bath. Jen was able to put her feet up for a few hours while the boys went swimming and shopping with Dad.

Time is ticking...the school year is rapidly coming to an end. We are heading toward a stressful and liberating time. Please try to remember that although Spring is here (sort of) we still have much to accomplish be we depart for our summer vacations.


Over the next two weeks we have some special events occurring that will affect our time at school. There is no school this Friday, May 13th (Professional Development Day), Monday, May 16th 7C and 7D to the Crowsnest Pass for Science/Social field trip, Tuesday, May 17th, (Track and Field meet). As a result, we will be very busy and students will be asked to take on a little more at home. Thanks for your support with this.

Week at a glance:

Math:
We will be wrapping up our unit on Patterns and Expressions this week. Students are being introduced to using variables and constants in order to develop expressions. We are currently working through chapter 10. Please see Moodle for further details. Students will write their unit exam on Friday, May 20th. I will post a study guide by Wednesday of this week. Please see Mr. L if you are having trouble, at a nutrition break.
Science:
We will close out our unit on Structures and Forces, students can expect their unit test Thursday, May 19th. Students will be working on activities over the next few days to close out the unit. Powerpoints reviewing sections 1.0 and 2.0 can be accessed here to support preparation for the unit exam. I will post a study guide by Wednesday of this week.

Have a great week!
