Good evening everyone!

FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO HAVE BEEN ABSENT DUE TO ILLNESS

I hope you are all feeling better soon.  There have been a number of you away.  When you are feeling well enough, please try to keep up with the work you have missed.  I hope that you have been able to keep up with the work that has been on the blog over the last few days that you have been away.  If not, please use the blog to catch up on the days you have been away.  Please also take a look at the following...

1.  The math review on Google Classroom.  You do not need to complete all of this, but please go through it and identify any areas that you need extra help on.  Please see me at a recess or before school for extra help when you return.

2.  Please make sure you have kept up with Spoken Word poems.  You should have completed at least 2 now, each being 200-250 words in length.  You can use the Poetic Elements Document on Google Classroom to remind you of the elements we have studied.  




Literacy - Poetry task from today.  Please use the following instructions to guide you. (Due Wednesday)
