Week of April 18 - 22, 2016

Thursday HW
1.  Math Unit 7 test Friday AM.  I handed out a study sheet yesterday which students can use along with their MMS booklets and the results of their first two quizzes to study.  Remembering and using unit-specific vocabulary (e.g., mira, tracing paper, align, match, coincide, irregular polygon, and others) is important when explaining thinking.
2.  Scholastic orders due Friday.  Cheques only please.
3.  There will be an outdoor excursion this Friday afternoon.  It is on foot.  Dress for the weather.
4.  Test pack handed out today.  Signature from parents, along with corrections is due for next Friday. The pack does not include some items which will be marked using online feedback (trickster tale, See-think-wonder inquiries, mind maps and plans for stories) on the Google Docs and Draw pages that I assigned.  Those are in-progress for me, but I will have them done in the near future.

I'm very proud to note that our class donated the greatest amount of diapers to the Women's habitat shelter drive -- nearly 1400 of them!  With some encouragement and talk we applied the pizza party award money toward the purchase of more supplies for the shelter.  I really want to thank the students and families for their generous response.  It was very heartening.
