First Friday of the School Year

Well we made it to the first Friday! I say we as I too had to adapt to being back at school this week. Overall it was a great first week of school and I have really enjoyed getting a chance to know the students and to speak to a number of the parents.
Today we did our first writing journal entry in which we gave our opinion about 3D technology in the entertainment industry. Students watched the trailer of Avatar and I read them an article about the benefits, implications, and costs of the 3D technology in movies and television. Please ask your child to show you this writing as a number of students had very good opinions.
In Math we looked into 4 methods of problem solving and did some analysis on data regarding Canada being one of the best places to live (which is why we stand at attention for O'Canada!). Homework was pg 11 1-4, most students finished 1-3 in class. Some students did not complete their previous work pg 7-8 #4-8 and need to complete this as well (a number of these we taken up today in class).
The class also had their first Art and Computer classes today and have begun to work on assignments at school for those subjects.
A friendly reminder that agenda money is due as are all the forms sent home for signing by parents. Thanks to all those who have already sent the forms in.
Hope everyone has a great weekend and enjoys the Spencerville Fair!
Mr.Brooks
