February 20th-24th

The last full week of February. A few reminders. The grade six students received information about course selection for next year at Brock Middle School. They need to have their course selection sheet returned by Monday, February 27th. There is an information meeting for parents tonight (Feb21st) at 7:oo p.m.  in the Brock Middle School library. This Friday is a professional development day, so there will be no school. All teachers in the district will be at workshops.

READING
We will be completing Moses, Me and Murder this week. There will be a quiz next week. The third book report for grade 5s is due Thursday, February 23rd. The fourth book report for the 6s is due Monday, February 27th. 
WRITING
The fairy tales, except for a couple students, are finished. The students will now self-assess their fairy tales and then I will assess them. Our binding machine is in for repairs, so I will be looking to borrow one from another school to bind all the fairy tales.
SPEAKING and LISTENING
The students will receive another debate topic this week. They will be doing a solo debate next week.
MATH
We had a quiz this week on ratio and percent. Please help your son or daughter with corrections, then sign and return it to the school. 
SOCIAL STUDIES
The students continue to work on their culture projects. They are due to be presented next Friday (March 2nd).
SCIENCE
The students had a final test yesterday and today on extreme environments. Our next topic will be simple machines.
