Purple Shirt Day - Is tomorrow. This is a day where we wear a purple shirt to acknowledge the identities of all people in the 2SLGBTQ+ community and to ensure that they feel the respect that they have always deserved, but unfortunately have too often not been afforded.
Spirit Day - Is on Friday. Spirit points will be counted for students who wear their house team colours.
Literacy - Please complete the journal prompt from class (teach someone what you have learned about attitude). You can also choose a topic of your choice to write about. Please make sure that you do the following...
1. Highlight compound sentences, comma rules used, quotation rules used.
2. At least 200 words. (Due tomorrow)
Social Studies - Please complete the chapter 3 questions. Make sure you add lots of details from the text, combined with your own ideas, to answer the questions. (Due Thursday October 24th)
Assessments signed - Please have the tests and assignments that were returned today signed by your parents and returned. These will go in your portfolios which we will eventually create. (Due)
Math test - Before returning your signed math test, please make corrections.
Math re-test - As discussed in class, if you received a mark below 70% on your math test, you are required to complete the test again. This will be on Thursday next week. Please make sure you come see me for extra help if needed. The mark you received on the first test is the mark that you have earned, but I would like you to do the test again so that I can look for ways to at least raise your mark somewhat. Please remember, you are all very capable of doing very well, but it might mean you need to come for extra help to achieve the level of success that you are very capable of achieving :) (Due)
Art - Goals and Dreams assignment due October 29th. Please remember to bring materials from home if you need them. (Due October 30th).
Literacy - Please go through all the completed pages and identify any areas that you find confusing or challenging. Please make sure you come see me for extra help. You will be assessed on these grammar rules/principles in the near future. (Due).
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.
Art - Unity & Harmony Task (Due Tuesday)
Arts Package - These have been placed on School Cash Online. Thank you to those who have already registered. If you have any questions, please let me know :)
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.
1. Adding to your bank account

4. School improves your passions
5. The way school improves your passions
6. Are you committed to your success? Prove it, and you'll be glad you did!
