LA - We are still working away on our scary stories! They are due Monday, Oct 29th. We'll have time in class again Thursday and Friday, but if you're not almost done now, you'll have to finish up at home.
The first big writing that the students did has gone home with the marking sheet attached. Please have a look at them with your student and then sign and return them to school.
Math - We've started a new unit on patterns and input output machines. We are working on applying a rule (like multiply by 6 and add 1) to a set of numbers to find new numbers in the output.
Please do page 14, #2 (find the rule that relates the input to the output - what is the machine doing?)
SS - Continuing with our Global Culture theme, students have been asked to find out where their family is originally from. We'll put all of us on the map and then talk about what elements of culture (recipes, traditions etc) we might still have from those places.
Science - Writeup for the Yeast lab is due Friday. Students must rewrite their observations neatly on the handout and answer the questions on the back.
Other - There is a dance for middle school students Thursday night from 6-8. Cost is $4, or $3 with a donation for the food bank. There will be a canteen selling snacks, if students wish to bring some extra money.
A reminder that some suspicious vehicles have been spotted around a couple of schools in the Fredericton area. Please review safety rules with your students so that they know not to approach strangers in this type of situation.
Newsletters have gone home with the youngest student in the family.
