We had a talk today in class about the school shooting in Saskatchewan today. The main points were that Runnymede is a safe place, that violence is an unacceptable way to deal with problems, and a reminder about pantomime 'gunplay' in the yard and halls. No one is getting suspended or receiving detentions for that last item, but it is in questionable taste given the reality of modern school life.

Remember that it has to be a question that gathers data you can find the mean and mode and range for. The activity is to be done in class, but the thinking can be done at home.

Week of January 11 - 15, 2016
Thursday HW
1. Study for math quiz on Bar Graphs and Pictographs tomorrow. It would be good to review the "Quick Review" sections of the homework duotang and the the "Connect" sections if you wish to carry the text home. Make a list of the special vocabulary (In Bold Print) and definitions to help yourself in understanding the questions. Practice a couple of problems that you've already done without looking at your original work and then compare your results. All this is to say that preparing for a quiz would entail more than turning the pages of your homework book in order to be effective, worthwhile practice.
2. Dictation for Word Up # 12 on Monday.
Wednesday HW
1. MMS HW Lesson 5.3, pages 68-69.
2. Math Quiz Friday -- Bar Graphs.
3. Scholastic Orders due tomorrow.
