Hey, Earthlings! Anyone out there?

Hi Class,

Well, I know it's been a little while since I've BLOGGED you all, but I was starting to notice that not that many people have been checking our BLOG SPOT. I decided to write one today, as Gordon was away yesterday and today, and so I thought I better BLOG today for him so he can keep up with his work.

Here's our class homework update:

1) MATH - After working on our FRACTIONS, DECIMALS, PERCENTS Skills "package", this week we've been trying to put them to work through some problems. So, we've been working on a related PROBLEM SOLVING "package". (It's on the top of your desk, Gordon.)

2) SCIENCE - The PLANET Research Project due date has now been extended one more day. Instead of being due on Thursday, it is now due on Friday, June 1st. (I hope you have all those materials at home, Gordon. If not, perhaps your sister or someone from your family can pick it up.) NO MORE LATES are allowed as your REPORT CARDS are being written right now!

3) Don't forget about SOCIAL STUDIES - Your COUNTRY "fill in the blank" RESEARCH Project is due June 12th. NO LATES allowed for this one either, unless you want to go to school in July - Ha! Ha!

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. A.

Celebrate the EARTH!!

Hi Class,

As we saw from today's movie, "An Inconvenient Truth", we need to do whatever we can to help our EARTH heal. Turn off lights. Plant a tree. Ride a bike, when you can, and so on...

For homework tonight, be sure to finish up your reflections about today's movie, "An Inconvenient Truth". Then, there are just a few people who have some outstanding assignments due. Finally, don't forget that Wednesday is SPELLING DAY!!

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. A.

How Persuasive are YOU?

Hi Class,

Wow! It was great having Ms. Kash in yesterday to record our "Healthy Food" Advertisements. She told me they were well written and very persuasive! I can't wait to hear them!

Here's your homework update:

MartH - For those of you who are not quite finished your 3-D "Voyage to Mars" pictures, finish them up this weekend.

SCIENCE - Complete #1-5, "Forces and Machines: Communicate" on pages 9-11 in your ST6 book.

Have a good weekend!

See you Monday,

Mrs. A.

Are you keeping up with your work?

Hi Class,

We have a number of people in the APP Group. It would really be great to see some more join that group in preparation for next year. Be sure to ask questions, catch up from others, come in off the bus for a little extra help, etc... Keep learning how to help yourself. It's one of the most important lessons in life!

Here's your homework update:

ENGLISH - Keep working away at Spelling #21 for next Wednesday.

MATH - Finish up today's "Transformation" WORK.

SCIENCE - You could get a bit ahead and finish classifying your examples of motion into the four types of motion outlined in your Science book.

Any unfinished, unsigned work is still outstanding for a few people. YEARBOOKS are now 4 days late, unless you have a WORK OFF COUPON that you've negotiated with me.

Sincerely,

Mrs. A.

Shake! Shake! Shake!

Hi Class,

Well, we had our first COPS FOR CANCER MILK SHAKE DAY today, and for the most part it went well. There were a few order problems, but everyone managed to get a milkshake. We'll make some improvements for next time, but all in all, not too bad for the first time. Next up ... JUICE/POPCORN/MOVIE NIGHT! Can't wait!

Here's your homework update:

ENGLISH - Next Wednesday is Spelling Day, but don't leave it till then, start now and do a bit each night.

MATH - Complete COORDINATE/TRANSFORMATION Activity Sheets for tomorrow.

SCIENCE - If you didn't finish ST6 pages 2-3, #1-3 in class, be sure to do so by tomorrow too.

See you tomorrow,

Mrs. A.
