ECO-FAIR INQUIRY PROJECT: Finish up research at home this weekend! Deadline to complete research was Friday, May 8th.

Be ready to type up good copy display starting Monday and all next week!

If you buy a display board, please buy a cardboard tri-fold, not FOAM which could take 2000 years to decompose but only into tiny microscopic particles so essentially it never decomposes. Remember, we are stewards of Earth!

MATHS: please finish Lesson 4.4 Area of a Triangle, pg 145/146, #1, 3, 5 and #7. Due Thursday.

.  

ECO-FAIR INQUIRY PROJECT: keep working on your research. Do some research at home as some of you have a difficult time being productive in the classroom. Research is due this Friday! 

EARTHQUAKE DRILL: Thursday afternoon at 2:00pm

First day of conferences done! Students have been very professional in their presentations about their learning to parents. Well done! 

Reminder, tomorrow is another day with early dismissal at 2:00 pm and a second day of student-led conferences.

ART: please enjoy some delightful grade 7 art from our class in the style of Piet Mondrian. 

INQUIRY PROJECT: reminder to keep working on your research. All research should be finished by Friday. Then we take the notes you wrote and write good copy for our display boards. You will need a display board too eventually – when you buy one please think about your impact on the planet and choose a board made from cardboard so it can be recycled rather than a foam board. Thanks! 

MATHS: reminder that Lesson 4.3 Area of a Parallelogram needs to be finished. 

UPCOMING: Starting tomorrow!

Student-led Conferences: on Tuesday, May 5 and Wednesday, May 6 (Note: I have been writing the wrong numbers for these two days. May 5 and 6th are the correct dates. Sorry!)

– early dismissal at 2:00 pm on these days. Parents should check their email for a link to the sign up page.
