Reminders

Just a reminder that the weather test is tomorrow. Students have been given a review of what is on the test. They were also sent home today with a list of questions and the answers to help them study.

There are still some students that need to return their permission form for the "Team up to Clean Up" trip to Winnipeg. This is not our field trip. This trip is to enrich our understanding of recycling and being more environmentally friendly and will hopefully support us in the building of our green space.

There are still some students who have to type on our student blog. They should be adding their weather forecast this week. We did not do a journal this week so that we could catch up on some of our other writing pieces including a personal narrative, diary of New France, newscast and a weather foreceast. They should have 4 pieces of writing on their blog now.

We have a lot of finish up work to do this week. We are trying to finish off our science and social studies units so that Ms. Mauthe may start fresh on a new unit after spring break.

Friday afternoon at 1:00 the teachers will be playing the grade 8's in their annual hockey game. If you would like to come out and cheer you're more than welcome!

Journal #26

Write a personal narrative from the perspective of a character in a book you have recently read. Using the same outcomes we had for last weeks personal narrative, students will write from a main character's point of view from a book they have read. They need to go back and edit their rough copy in another color and they type a good copy on their student blog. Please make sure to reread it and check for mistakes.

Due Thursday March 15

Portfolio Party

Next Monday March 12 and Wednesday March 14 we will be having our portfolio parties from 5:30 - 8:00pm. Please send a note in your child's agenda as to which night you will be attending. It will be the same format as our last portfolio party but this time the students will be showing you their digital portfolio.

Students brought home a Shape and Space Quiz last week. They are supposed to show it to you, have you sign it and return it. Thank you.

Journal 25

Journal 25 is a Personal Narrative about New France.
Students are to write a 3 day diary entry (at least) about moving to New France. Explain what it is like and how you feel about it. Students have a personal narrative checklist to follow in order to complete the journal entry.
