Thanks to all the parents who showed up at the open house last night. It was great to meet all of you and get to put some faces to names. I would also like to thank all the great feedback and support you showed for your children and their education.
This week we worked on our rough copies of our memoirs and will be revising them next week. Students should have their rough copies typed up by Tuesday to start editing them as the good final copy is due next Friday. A project outline and rubric has been handed to the class already.
In math we were working on order of operations and solving equations. We have discussed isolating variables, inverse operations, and balancing the equations. We will have a short quiz on Monday to review the basic concepts. At the end of next week there will be a review and a unit test will follow during the first week of October.
The students are still working on their group project for understanding the Scientific Process and will be soon learning how to write a lab report by watching a Mythbusters episode (those guys can blow up anything).
Next week we have bus evacuations on Monday and Tuesday (two days because we are helping the kindergarten classes). South Branch's Terry Fox walk is next Wednesday at Riverside Park.
South Branch's annual walk a thon will be held on October 11th, forms and pledge collections have been sent home today. All money collected is due in cheque form on Oct. 11th at the latest. Our class goal is 600 while the school goal is 10 000 - if reached we get the see some superheroes in the office.
How everyone has a great weekend.
Mr. B
