Week of Sept 20th

ELA and Social.

We have continued with the theme of Identity, by reading the story 'Secret Life of Walter Mitty' and completing the tasks. These tasks are for homework in they haven't handed them in on Friday and extra copies are on the front table if they need one.

In Social Studies, we have started to learn more about the federal government and the election process. Students will been given an assignment to create a scrapbook about the election. Please see the link for a copy of the assignment which is due October 11th:

Election Scrapbook Assignment

We have been having some great conversations  about the federal government and I am impressed with the knowledge students have about the election. A testament to the great conversations that families are having.

Math and Science.

Students just wrote a basic math test on fractions and decimals. They are now building their skills in calculating percentage off and taxes. There will most likely be another test on this later next week. In Science students are continuing to deepen their understanding of what things scientists are currently studying in space, where most of the focus is being placed and where the future of space research will be directed. Students have just been introduced to a research project in space that is more self directed to increase their choice and interest. Ask your child what they are doing their research on.
