Good evening everyone.

Hi,
November is almost over and report cards go out on Friday.  The students are working on a Science Project Sustainability.  I have given them a free rein to get out there and find out how an ecosystem can be sustained.  Most are doing something on Pollution, or environmental disasters.

In Math,  we are studying Multiplying and Dividing Decimals.  In all of the students report cards, I have written that they should practice times tables every night.

We had a very interesting speaker yesterday on "Cyber Bullying".  Ask your child to tell you about it.

We are almost finished the book, "Flipped".  The students will be preparing an essay on this.

That is all for tonight.

MM

Month End's are due Friday with homework!

Hi all,

No Math tonight, except that most of the class did not finish yesterday's assignment.  Homework is due this Friday along with a signature on the MonthEnd.

We will have a Science test on Tuesday, Nov. 12, see Homework pkg. #8.

I am writing report cards.

Cheers,
Ms. Mack

Happy November

Hi All,
I had a lecture for the students today on making sure that they are responsible for their marks in November, the first reporting period.  I am sorry to say their are about 10-12 students that are presenting "failing".  Not because the work is too hard, but because of the following reasons:

1) too much absenteeism
2) too much goofing around in class
3) disengagement in class discussions
4) not doing HOMEWORK

All of the combined will make it very hard for your child to succeed, if at least two of these problems can be resolved, there is a fighting chance.  I will always work hard for students that work hard.  I can not make a student learn or force them to listen... but  I will let a child know that they can do more, by giving them a letter grade they deserve.

So, Month End's are coming home tomorrow, and you will be fully informed of all the work your child needs to do before report cards.

See everyone Tuesday,
Ms. Mack
