Literacy - Please complete the following question from the R.A. Dickey biography we read in class:

Please infer why R.A. Dickey didn't care about succeeding when he was a child? For instance, he didn't care about the fact that he did so poorly on the school exam.  He also didn't care about the fact that he beat the boy up and hurt him very badly.  Use details from the text to support your answer. Hint:  Think about what his life was like at home. 

History - Please answer the question below.  It will be handed in and marked.  You will be marked on your ability to answer the question by providing reasons for your thinking using details from our discussions in class to support your answer.  Remember, we discussed issues that a First Nations student would have to deal with if they were to come to Rick Hansen PS (things they would struggle with).  (Due Wednesday)

The First Nations people were here in Canada first.  The land was taken from them.  Is it enough for our government to tell them that they can live in designated "reserves"?  What do you think should be done to make things right?  (In answering the question, make sure you think about how alone some First Nations people probably feel because their way of life is so different from the way many of us choose to live.  We discussed these issues in class when talking about the challenges a First Nations student would face if they came to Rick Hansen PS).

Music - "Thor's Hammer" bars 11-19

Science - Look at assignment sheet from Mrs. Foster for upcoming assignments.  They are all included on the sheet that was handed out.
