Monday September 30, 2019

Good evening everyone!

You will find that you have multiple tasks due tomorrow.  If you feel like you have a lot of homework, please use this as a valuable learning opportunity to realize the importance of using your class time more wisely.  Every task below you have had sufficient time to complete in class, and some you have had about a week to plan to complete.  I am excited to continue to support you all as you learn to manage your time well so that you can complete your work efficiently, and not have more homework than necessary. :)

Literacy - Please complete p.78 & 79 in your grammar booklets.  (Due tomorrow)

Literacy - Please complete reading the "Attitude Text" on Google Classroom.  This is the text we have been reading in class both Friday and today.  Please complete your notes for the chapter, and then create your synthesis from your notes.  You are encouraged to create as many as you can think of.  Please remember that the prompt we are using to create your synthesis is "I can use this information in the following ways...."  (Due tomorrow)

Math - Please complete your response that was given at the end of class today.... Please show visually (counters, number line, or another strategy) why (+8) - (-3) = (+11)  (Due tomorrow).

Math - Chapter 1 Test Thursday.  (Please note the extension that has been given for this).

Health - Please complete the work started today in class.  Your task is to read the article "10 Ways to Overcome Negative Body Image" (a copy of it is on the Literacy Google Classroom page).  Once you have read it, create a list of "life lessons" that you were able to come up with (or synthesize) through the reading.  You can track your life lessons however you would like, but I would recommend a list or a concept web.  When creating your life lessons, try to think deeply and create lessons that are not obvious.  This will involve some inferring.  (Due tomorrow)

Social Studies - Worldview (First Nations & Europeans) task on Google Classroom is due next week.  You will have 30 minutes next class to put the final touches on your work.  Please make sure that you have completed for homework all that needs to be done so that all you are doing in class is finishing touches.  (Due tomorrow)

Picture Day - Is Tuesday October 8th.

Below are some links to texts which promote mindsets that we are seeking to develop in our  class this year in order to enhance our learning experiences.  Each text is a teacher writing to their student in an effort to provide encouragement.  I hope you enjoy them.  Please let me know what you think :)  

I encourage you to share and discuss these with your parents.  In order to view them, I believe you will need to be logged into your Google Apps account.
