Word Work - test on Thursday this week
****many students are not completing the weekly work that goes with the spelling lists (like the vocabulary or the word searches) - this is the 'working with words' part so that students will become more familiar with the words. Also, it's about task completion - an on-going tracking system of keeping up with the workload at the grade 6 level.
****parents please help your child to see if he/she is on track
Speaking - just finished out partner debates - many good results
Math - number patterns - recursive patterns - know what it means - check the textbook
- equations and expressions are next
Science - 2 hour test tomorrow - graded & returned by Wednesday
- next is how to follow the 'scientific procedure' - we experiment & write labs
Socials - great double-lesson on global citizens - students very curious and engaged about our links around the world as it relates to manufacturing of goods

P.E. - Speedball was a hit and new co-operative / inventive games this week
Art - the 'line effects' project will be due on Thursday
