Good afternoon everyone!
I hope you all had a great weekend. A reminder that our first math assessment went home last week, along with the term one DRAs. I will be continuing unit phone calls this week as well. A reminder that each phone call is limited to ten minutes, but I will be happy to set up times to speak other than that once this week is finished.
We started our day with gym with Mr. Orr, which you can read about on his blog (link on the left).
Inquiry into Language – We read chapter 14 of Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
Then, we had music with Mr. Oliver, which you can read about on his blog (link on the left).
In the afternoon, we had French with Mme. Rawan, which you can read about on her blog (link on the left).
Inquiry into Matter – The students spent the remainder of the afternoon working on their matter summative. By now, students should have:
- · An experiment
- · A title
- · A question
- · Independent and Dependent variables
- · A hypothesis
- · A list of materials
- · A procedure
- · Observations (with pictures and graphs)
Good copies of work are to be brought in tomorrow (typed – they may bring devices if they need to type). We are going to be working on our boards in class.
For homework:
- Percy Jackson Chapter 14 worksheet (due tomorrow)
- Number Patterns Math Review (due Thursday)
- Spelling Lesson 6 (due Friday)
- UOI Matter Summative: Good copies due tomorrow
- We will be working on the boards in class.
A couple of quick reminders:

- · Scholastic order forms were sent home last week, and if any orders are being put in, they have to be submitted by this Thursday, October 18th.
- · Picture Day is next Thursday, October 25th– forms were sent home yesterday.
- · Today, a permission form was sent home for our trip to the ROM (for Ancient Greece) on November 8th. We have to confirm with the ROM regarding our numbers by next Monday. Therefore, all permission forms must be submitted by next Monday – no exceptions. Late forms cannot, and will not be accepted.
As always, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns by email, and I will respond as quickly as possible.
