May 24, 2012

Math;  The grade 7 girls had a chapter test today, the boys will do the chapter review Friday, a practice test Monday, and then the test on algebra on Tuesday.

Science:  Both classes need to bring 2 rock samples that we can break open for Friday/Monday's class (depending on which of the 2 classes they are in)  We will be looking at the properties such as streak, color, cleavage, hardness, etc.  We watched a 2nd video on volcanoes and plate techtonics today.

English: Most students had a chance to do the 3rd series of reading tests called "Star Reader".  This will be of great value for grade 8 students heading into English 9, as it will give their teachers a better idea of their reading level. Mr. Martin's class each has a copy of the final Novel ideas to look at and choose from.

Grade 8 day:  On June 27th, the Len Wood teachers put on a fun day at the pool, and here at the school for the grade 8's.  We will be asking for parent help in setting up and running the bbq that day.  We plan a series of events for the day such as
-pool swim time
-soccer, boche, etc at the park
-water fight at the school field
-unveiling of the legacy tiles
-bbq (setting it up, cutting up fruit, chefs, clean up)
-dance

Please let Mr. Martin know if you would be available to help that day.
