Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

Term 1 Report Cards have gone home.  Please fill out the tear off portion and return with the envelope at your earliest convenience.  Thank you!


The following is to give your parents an update on that which we have been studying as of late....

In literacy we are continuing our social justice unit through novel studies.  The students have been reading texts that relate to various issues pertaining to the injustices in our world.  The texts are very thought provoking and have allowed each student to meaningfully reflect on some of the injustices that are seen around our world.  

Students are responsible for various jobs that they must complete for each section of the text.  It is important that they manage their time, and come prepared to participate in literature circle discussions.  

In Math, we have been continuing our studies of 2D geometry.  In the next week we will complete our work with tessellations, and then move toward a final task for the unit.  Through this task, students will be required to demonstrate their learning in an authentic way.

We have had some very meaningful discussions in Health class over the last few weeks.  It is my hope that students have been having discussions with their parents about that which they have been learning.  This week they have been assigned to write a letter to their future selves.  In this letter they are to provide advice for themselves when they come across issues pertaining to internet safety.

In History, we are continuing our study of the First Nations people.  We will be examining historical events from the 1800's and analyzing how they have affected today's First Nations communities.

Math - Please complete your second tessellation.  Make sure that you have at least 3 orientations, and that each orientation is a different colour.  This will be handed in for a mark, along with the tessellation you created for homework today. (Due tomorrow).

Literacy - Articles due Friday February 12th.  Please follow the rubric!  This is how you will be marked!  This is a very important assignment.  It is a big writing mark since we have spent so much time on these articles.

Friday Folders - Where are these?  Please get them signed and return your folder to school.  You can keep all the work.  (Due)

Literacy - Make sure you are following the timelines for your Social Justice readings and assignments. We need to do a much better job of keeping on top of this. Your marks will begin to suffer.

History - Please complete the following (due Tuesday February 16)...

1.  Describe the major struggle the First Nations people face in trying to keep their traditional ways of life, but having to battle against outside influences (think about what you saw in the video of the Mohawk Tribe land).

2.  Read page 216 & 217 in the textbook.  What significant events affected the First Nations tribes?  How were they affected?  (Don't be afraid to read earlier sections in the textbook to help you understand events that are confusing to you).

Have a great evening!
