Week of September 30 - October 4, 2013

Thursday HW
1.  Problem of the week is due on Monday, October 7.  The work for it is completed on the reverse side of the page.  I distributed this page on Monday September 30 to all students and wrote their names on each page when all were present in class -- everyone received one.  We checked again today to make sure everyone still had a copy.  They will receive a new problem on Mondays most weeks.
2.  MMS pages 28-29.  We spend time correcting these pages each day in class and I check work for completion each time before taking it up as a class.  I ask students to correct in another colour by checking off correct answers and circling, and then correcting, incorrect work.
3.  Spelling cycle 3 activities.
4.  For our Terry Fox fundraising reward we will have part one on Monday:  gum and hats all day, and board games during period five and six in the afternoon.  Well done class!
