Wednesday, 12 Sept.

Today we started with a continuation of our examination of the eight parts of speech.  I hope parents are interested enough in the Schoolhouse Rock "Conjunction Junction" song to check it out on YouTube.             http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODGA7ssL-6g

We also had a discussion about our class community.  One topic that came up was the notion of different rights and privileges for grade 6 and 7 students.  Students also discussed the idea of possible fund raising activities for extra-curricular activities and trips.  They have many ideas and seem quite keen.  Thus, in the future, I hope it will be acceptable to ask for parent volunteers to help the students coordinate any fund raisers either group would like to tackle.

After recess we had our first split-instruction math class today.  Thus, we now have our first assignments to complete at home: Grade 6 = p. 8-10, #2-9 and Grade 7 = p.8 #1-8.  Sorry, there are no electronic notes to post.


In the last block of the day we had a fun soccer game with student referees.  In general, I was very satisfied with everyone's effort again today.  Thanks to everyone for their cooperation and flexibility as I navigate my way in my new class.

PLEASE RETURN THE "WALKING OFF SCHOOL GROUNDS" AND THE "FRESH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES" FORMS TOMORROW.
