Happy Hallowe'en week!

We have  a few requests for goodies this Thursday.  If you planned on bringing something and did not let me know maybe save it for another Friday.

We had a math test today, I hope they did well.  Our next unit is on Fractions, Decimals, Percents.

Homework sheet is going home today, due Friday.

Scary Story is due this Thursday, good copy and grave stone.

Have a good night.

Hello Everyone,

We had a long talk today about "finishing work" and how good it felt when you were finished  task.  I have a hard time understanding how students can go through school without finishing projects.  I am hoping that this talk helped motivate them to take more care.

This is all I have today!!

Good Morning Monday,

First of all, there are quite a few students who have trouble handing in work.  Since I can not read minds, your work is your evidence that you are actually learning something.  If a student does not hand in work, I have no choice but to write up an "I " form, or fail for the first term.
I will be contacting those student' s parents before the end of the month.
We will be creating our "Scary Story" this week- it is due on Oct. 31!
Homework sheets are coming out Tues.,but for tonight there is Math pg.69 #1-5.
social's test is Thursday.

Finally, Kaleeka came back from WE day in Vancouver.  We had a great discussion about making appositive difference in the world and treating each other with kindness.
Seeyou all tomorrow,
Ms.Mack

happy weekend

Hi everyone,
We had a great week, and everyone aced their  math quiz again!  There is another short week again, but we have lots of work to do.

NO homework, except those kids who did not complete their work on Friday
See you Monday,
Ms. Mack

Wazy Wednesday.

Hi all,

We are participating in the Great Canadian Mail Race. the students have to choose a place to send a letter to and hope to receive it back.  It is sent to another grade seven somewhere in Canada.  The return address is our school.  the first student to receive a letter back wins the race. 

We are having fun with Integers and the students are about to learn how to subtract.  It is tricky, or more like "taking a debt away".

We got into what kind of people Bryce and Julianna are today... as the Flipped continues.

A good day all and all, see you tomorrow.

Ms. Mack

Okay, I am back

After talking to a few parents, I realized that all this work IS appreciated and that at least my parents are checking the blog.  So here it goes,

Homework sheet has been sent home tonight.  We are studying "Integers" in Math and all my students received 5/5 except for those that were absent during those lessons.  Way to go.

I will be handing back their Autobiography, Math test and Science test this week.  We are studying living things in Science and learning about detrivores and decomposers.

We have started our first novel "Flipped" by Wendelin Van Draanen.  We will also be writing a Scary Story.

We are learning some smooth basketball moves in PE and I am very happy with the participation in the gym.
Homework sheet needs to be completed by Friday.  If you feel like you want a jump on interviews you are welcome to come in early.

Thanks,
Dian
