Today's summaries:

English Div 5: You discussed Chapter 8 what happened on a literal and symbolic level. Then, Mrs B. assigned the book project: an alternate ending. One of the main themes of this book is exploring what it means to be civilized so your ending should echo this. Given the timing, the change in class composition, and both Mrs Bs' enthusiasm around the dystopian/sci fi theme we can attach to the Mars mission, we are wrapping up our adventure in the classics.That being said, you can choose to finish the book during literacy.

Math Div 4: You reviewed how to find greatest common denominators to solve addition and subtraction questions with fractions. Your homework is increasing your fluency with multiplication facts by either using a deck of cards to drill your facts or playing games on sites like multiplication.com. By grade 8, we expect fluency; anything less, will set you back.

One of the main themes of this book is exploring what it means to be civilized so your ending should echo this. We will not be reading the rest of the book in class given the time constrainst and both Mrs Bs' enthusiasm around the dystopian/sci fi theme we can attach to the Mars mission. We are wrapping up our adventure in the classics. That being said, you can choose to finish the book during literacy.
