Calendar Notes:
Wednesday, December 7th Swimming Field Trip (oops originally I wrote the 9th, but you set me straight)
Academics:
English: You will be given time to read and work on your independent novel study. You will also be given time to work on your news article. The rough copy is due on the 7th. DO NOT submit a neat copy on that date because you need to show that you can go through the writing process which involves drafting before publishing. This is the case in the real world, not that school isn't real.
Social Studies; You will be given time to complete your notes on your assigned religion. Then you will do a fish bowl discussion to share your research with the other religions. After the discussion, I will collect your notes for marks.
Math: You will be tested on your understanding of Fraction vocabulary and value. This week we will review simplifying fractions, converting improper fractions to mixed fractions (and visa versa). All this is much needed review as many of you demonstrate that you cannot visualize or quantify fractions. This is a critical skill that you need to demonstrate before you can perform and self check operations with fractions. Multiplication tables should be your nightly homework for Math; you need to be fluent to be able to master operations with fractions and regular home practice is key to that.
Today's word is: paddle.
