Update!


Hi, everyone!  Just wanting to touch base with you about a few items and upcoming dates.  We are on the homestretch now!
  •  Math: We are working on Unit 7, which focuses on Data Analysis and Probability.  I will attach the Extra Practice sheets to this email.
  •  Reading: Poetry Projects are due this Friday.
  •  Writing: We have finished our mini-unit on Figurative Language.  This week, we will continue to work on our blogs.  Our blogs are due on June 13th
  • Science: We are going on our field trip to Crooked Valley on Thursday.  As of now, it looks like rain is in the forecast.  If our trip is canceled, I will send you an email by 7:45am and make a post on the blog.  We are continuing to study Flight in our Science classes.  There will be a test on Flight in the second week of June.
  •  Art: We are enjoying a unit on Digital Photography.  Students will be completing a “Photography Portfolio” to demonstrate their learning.  We will be focusing on basic composition skills.  I will also attach this assignment to the email.
  •  Practical Applied Arts: From June 3-13, the Grades 6, 7, and 8 students will be taking part in daily PAA workshops.  The students have selected a workshop from a number made available, such as pottery, guitar, duct tape creating, multimedia technology, digital photography, and more.  All of the teachers from Grades 6, 7 and 8 are involved in this project.  PAA time will be from 9-10:15am.  Students are really looking forward to this hands-on learning experience! 
  • JDRF Walk: I have only heard back from a couple students regarding the Walk on June 9th.  Thanks for sending me a quick reply about your son or daughter’s availability.
