Tuesday, 9 April

Today we began with a discussion to identify the many people who helped support our snowshoe trips: over 30 in all!  Next, we discussed how to compose a thank-you letter and then we divided up the names of the helpers and everyone wrote one or two letters.

After recess some students read while others finished their letters.  Next we did math.  The Math 7 students had a short lesson on how to find the area of parallelograms, and then worked to complete the 10 questions in the problem set on pp. 141-142.  That should be completed for homework (at least up to  #6).

Remember to multiply the units of
measure, not just the numbers!
= centimeters SQUARED

Please look for this notice.

After lunch we used the computers to work on our inquiry projects and we ended the day by making thank-you cards to hold our thank-you letters.  Thanks to Mr. Clements who supervised the last hour of the day so I could attend a memorial service for the husband of a former colleague.

I issued permission slips for the trip to the art gallery - WE NEED DRIVERS: please check your schedules.

Tomorrow is art - please bring your recording devices/footage to class.
