Math:
This
week we continued our work on our first chapter of the year (rational numbers,
Chapter 2). We played a game on Friday to practice mental math skills. Students
have been very focused and worked well in the classroom. Homework is assigned
almost daily and students should have completed several homework this week. I
will post an update on homework completed on Power School at the end of this
chapter.

LA:
This week in LA, we have been writing paragraphs about our puzzle piece. This project allowed students to represent themselves symbolically. It was great to learn more about each student this way. We also got back to working on Language Power - lesson 1 & 2 - grammar for everyone!
Power-Up:
Students need to create a 1-pager, about useful study techniques. The 1-pager will be colorful and detailed, in order to be useful when studying.
LA:
Next week we will be working on LP lessons 2 & 3. We will also be writing our BOOKFLIX reviews to share with the whole school. This mean that all the students need to have a book, which they have read, in mind for the project.
SOCIAL:
Where does the time go... Already two weeks in and we are settled in nicely. Students are aware that most of my assignments will be given out on the Monday with the expectation that they are due on the Friday. This way they will not have homework on the weekend and I will be.... marking.
What a great opportunity for our Grade 9 students to develop a better understanding of the Federal Election process, when it actual occurs (October 21st). Please continue to have conversations about the election with your child. We will be participating in Student Vote this year, and will begin with the Federal Government Unit (the election process and the structure of the federal political system in Canada). We started to look at developing their own political values and views by comparing the zoo vs jungle.
Have a great week!
