Week of Sept 9th-14th

ELA & SOCIAL:

Where does the time go... Already two weeks in and we are settled in nicely. Students are aware that most of my assignments will be given out on the Monday with the expectation that they are due on the Friday. This way they will not have homework on the weekend and I will be.... marking.

What a great opportunity for our Grade 9 students to develop a better understanding of the Federal Election process, when it actual occurs (October 21^st). Please continue to have conversations about the election with your child. We will be participating in Student Vote this year, and will begin with the Federal Government Unit (the election process and the structure of the federal political system in Canada). We started to look at developing their own  political values and views by comparing the zoo vs  jungle.

In ELA we are looking at text with the theme of identity. This past week we read a short story Identities.  Students will work on making a mask that represents both sides of them: light/dark We will continue with the Road Not Taken poem and discuss the path they can choose.

Have a great week,
