Math - Chapter Task is due Monday. This is the task we did on Wednesday in class. (Due Monday)

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)

3. Your rough draft of your essay,

* The purpose of handing all of these in is for you to demonstrate all the learning and effort that has gone in to the preparation and completion of your essay.

Art - The following are the instructions for our current Art assignment. (Due Monday)

Task

You will create a personal “logo” for yourself.
The logo can be whatever you want it to be, but it should communicate something that you stand for. (i.e., a mountain or large slope could represent that you take every journey that allows you to go the extra mile, because that’s a destination that is never crowded).
You could also have a slogan to go along with your logo (i.e., “Go the extra mile. It’s never crowded.”)
Apply at least 2 of the following elements of design in your logo, and make sure you write on the back of your assignment how you used the elements of design that you chose.…

History - Your final History task is on Google Classroom.  Please make sure you follow the outline from the assignment sheet. The assignment sheet is ordered with steps to help you complete the task successfully. I STRONGLY recommend you plan with your group how you plan to get this task done on time. You have 2 weeks, but you will only have another couple of class periods to work on it. (Due February 18th)

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)

Health - We have been learning about the brain.

Monday February 3, 2020

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…

An artistic picture
A whiteboard presentation
A concept web
A journal entry
Point form notes
Any other method you find will help you reflect.

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.
