It was great getting back into the classroom this week. Halloween is coming up next week, please see the message below, from admin. The students have requested an in class celebration, we will take some time Thursday afternoon to celebrate and socialize with games and a movie. You are welcome to send in some snacks. Feel free to access the google doc to sign up. We have a field trip coming up, the form is on powerschool, and volunteers can sign up on Better Impact. Humanities: This week in humanities, the students choose their next novel study book. Students have divided their book into six sections, and have a weekly checklist with assignment targets they need to meet. Most students completed the week one tasks and are on track. A 5 day week coming up should help any that are behind, catch up. Our book club discussions will center around the characters in the stories and the traits they possess. We will inquire into whether or not the character traits we see in the book are beneficial in the real world. Students also worked on their map skills and we are using latitude and longitude to determine absolute location. Next week, we will continue working on book clubs and will examine people and events in Canadian history that impact identity. Science: We were fortunate to have some Mount Royal University students teach us a science lesson this week. We also learned about food webs and how humans impact wetlands. Math: We continued working on estimation and mental math strategies in math. Halloween: For those who participate in Halloween festivities, students may wear costumes during the afternoon of Oct. 31st. Please be mindful of the following: • No masks, hoods or face paint that will obscure a student’s identity • No weapons or replicas are permitted • Arrangements must be made to accommodate students who do not participate due to cultural or religious doctrine. Please see one of us if any issues arise. Thank you, Admin Team Enjoy the weekend
