Students will begin Middle School Electives today
by going to the Ministry Center, and hearing Mr. Kelly explain the choices. Then,
they will select a class that is available to them. (Gr. 8’s and 9’s get first choice.) Electives will occur in the final 80 minutes
of every second day. (Following the High School Day 1, Day 2 Schedule)
Weekly Challenge- The
Canada Food Guide recommends that teens your age should eat at least 4 servings of
vegetables a day. How well do
you think you do on achieving this? We
will find out. To eat a minimum of 4
servings of vegetables a day is indeed your challenge. To see how much a serving is, check out this
website: http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/fn-an/food-guide-aliment/choose-choix/fruit/serving-portion-eng.php Generally a serving is ½ cup.
Art
Project – due any time before February 24th
– A red handout will come home today with the proposal questions on the front
and the marking rubric on the back. I
would like this sheet returned this week with the questions on the front filled
out. P.S. Emily Lengert is doing a project that
involves lots of
buttons of different sizes and colours. If you have some to donate, please send them
with your child to school. Thanks!
Math – Students will
be finishing their Word Problem Booklet #3 this week. Once this is completed, they will receive a Take Home Chapter
Test on Word Problems. This will be due next Tuesday, February 12
which is perfect timing since we begin FSA testing then. Parents don’t have to help students on this take home test, but are able to offer
assistance if their child requires it.
In class, students have been allowed to help each other. This is also a bit of a responsibility
project in that students must get a parent to sign it showing that their
parents have checked to see that it has been completed. Students will be docked 5% if they lose the
booklet.
English
– To conclude our unit on Writing Skills,
students are to complete a “How to....” writing assignment that includes an
illustration. We will be working on this
in class this week. It will be due
Friday, February 16th
