September 18

Today was jam packed full of learning.  We talked about different genres during reading and shared some favourite books.  We worked on patterning in t-tables in Grade 6 math and the Grade 6's have page 6 and 7 for homework in their workbook if they didn't finish it at school.  Grade 7's have homework in the textbook (the Connect) and in their workbook.

We visited the library and everyone had a chance to sign out a book and we learned about how to shelve books correctly.  You can practice shelving books here.

For French, students also need to finish their "backpack" assignment.

In the afternoon we learned about early humans for S.S.  Some students may still need to finish their information sheet.

We also watched a video based on Steven's Claunch's talk Tedx talk titled "There is No Shame in Having a Disabiity."  We then posted our reactions onto Edmodo and responded to our partner class in Montreal who had watched the same video.  We are doing this to prepare for reading "Our of My Mind," by Sharon Draper.

Anybody who didn't finish their posts on Edmodo and comment on one other person's post, needs to do so at home. 

Please remember to bring money for the Terry Fox Run.
