Good evening everyone!



Literacy - Since we have been learning about attitude, I would like to encourage each of you to begin looking for resources which teach about attitude.  What I am really hoping for is that we can find resources which reflect different cultures.  Therefore, if you have a book, video, article or anything else that reflects your culture and teaches about topics that have to do with attitude, I would be so very grateful if you would bring it to class.  When I say culture, this is very open ended.  It could be texts that reflect your faith, a different country, or even a different way of thinking.  You can bring the text to school, or make a photocopy, take some pictures or even send me an internet link.  Please don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions.

Literacy - I would like to encourage everyone to make sure that they are constantly adding to their tracking pages for reading comprehension strategies.  You have had a lot of time to do this in class, so you should by now have a lot of examples of how you have used each of the reading comprehension strategies.  Remember to look at the posters in our room to help you.  Please remember that I will be collecting these to mark them, but I am trying to give you lots of time to add to your tracking.

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.

Have a great evening,


Mr. Carr
