Monday February 3, 2020

Good evening everyone!


Please find your homework below.

Dance-a-thon - Is on Friday February 14th.  Pledge forms have gone home.  Thank you so much to all who raise money.  These funds go directly back to our school to provide important resources like laptops to support all students.  (Due tomorrow)

Work Home to be signed by parents:  (Due tomorrow)
1.  Learning Skills page from Mr. Carr (complete the reflection portion)
2.  Daily Reflection page (for January).
3.  Greatest Showman Task

Literacy - Your final drafts are due Monday.  Please refer to the rubric handed out in class (which can also be found on Google Classroom) for how you will be assessed.  You should also use the feedback that you were given on your "Attitude Texts" earlier in the year (found in  your portfolios).  (Due Monday)


Health- Please complete the task below.
For those who I spoke with, the question I have asked you to answer the question, "How can stress be a good thing".   If I have not spoken to you about this, then you are doing the task explained below.  (Due tomorrow)

  1. We have done extensive study of the brain, stress & anxiety.  Your task is to now self-assess how well you deal with stress.  You can do this in any way you would like, but some options may be…
    1. An artistic picture
    2. A whiteboard presentation
    3. A concept web
    4. A journal entry
    5. Point form notes
    6. Any other method you find will help you reflect.

  1. Once you have reflected, create some point form notes which represent what you believe are meaningful next steps to help you improve at dealing with stress.


Learning Skills - Each day, please complete your Daily Reflection page.  You have received a new one for the month of February.  You are reflecting on the following prompt... "Today, I did what I ought to do when I ought to do it, so that one day I can do what I want to do when I want to do it."  (Every day)


Passion Projects - I would like to encourage everyone to go to the Aurora Public Library and find books on their Passion Project topic.  Please try to have them available for you to read at school after the Winter Break. (Due)



Math - Please complete 2 more rounds of your fitness tracking exercises.  It doesn't matter which days you do, but you should have 2 more rounds recorded by Friday.  We need to have these for activities in class.  In general, you need to be doing 2 rounds of fitness tests at home every week.  Thank you :) (Due Friday)



Art - The following  are the instructions for our current Art assignment.  (Due Wednesday February 12th)

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
2.  To the student who just got an answer wrong in class
3.  To accomplish, you must first become
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!
7.  Why growth is fun!















Have a great evening,


Mr. Carr
