8ELA-We continue working on poetry and our current focus is on creating mood.  We are putting in a real effort to find and use interesting words thus enlarging our personal vocabulary.  Our thesaurus is becoming a very useful tool!  We corrected spelling unit 2 and had reading period.  HOMEWORK:  SPELLING TEST ON FRIDAY.  READING JOURNAL DUE FRIDAY.  SENSE/SWIFT-SLOW POEM DUE FRIDAY.  THIRD DRAFT MOOD POEM DUE TOMORROW.

8SS-We've been learning about timelines and the idea of chronology.  We corrected the worksheet on this topic today (it was assigned yesterday).  HOMEWORK:  TIMELINE QUIZ FRIDAY.

7SS-Students missed class yesterday due to their retreat and they are not scheduled for SS on Day 5.  I will see them tomorrow.

***Contact change sheets were sent home.  Please review them, make any necessary changes, sign them and have your child return them to school before Friday.

**We are celebrated Terry Fox on Friday morning.  Students are invited to bring a loonie to be donated to the Terry Fox Foundation.  This dollar also gives them a colour day (no uniform).
