(This would be my dog...obedience training gone wrong....make a comment for an instant prize tomorrow)
It was great meeting with your parents on Thursday. Please extend our open invitation to them to meet with us at any time especially if they were not able to secure a slot on Thursday.
Academic Notes:
S.S.: Unit Final on Friday. We will explore study strategies this week. My goal is that you learn how to study effectively; the fall of Rome and the Barbarian migrations will be the topic we will use to practice those study skills.
English: You will be given class time to read your novels and work on the Independent Novel Studies specifically parts 1 and 2, the vocabulary and readers response sections. Remember readers responses are not simply summaries at the grade 8 level. They involve synthesis and analysis. I will be modelling this for you.
French: The Francophone world is bigger than you think. There are a lot of French speaking countries out there and we will be investigating these countries in a final project.
HCE: We will be generating questions for a Grade 12 panel of students who will be visiting from EMCS on Wednesday. We will also be looking at recent research into the effects of marijuana and the teenage brain.
Minions are cute
ReplyDeleteThey are indeed.
DeleteI finished The Giver this weekend, and the ending was a bit confusing. The book was sorta boring at first but it got better.
ReplyDeleteShe does spend a lot of time establishing the setting and the situation. I am afraid that it can lose some readers. Once the action starts, it does get better. We can discuss the ending in class. There are a few of you reading the book. I recommend that you pick up Divergent, if you haven't read it already. It is neat to compare it to the Giver. I think that it was "inspired" by it.
DeleteCats ...
