Homework amended

This just in... the Math questions are no longer going to be due on Friday but rather on Monday December 15. We are moving more slowly through circles than intended, and I wanted another day to teach the concepts about radius, diameter, circumference and pi.

As well, the reading journal is still due on Friday December 19. If you know your child will be away that day, please have these in earlier.

Thank you.

First Day of December

Homework for the week...

Language Arts
- Spelling test Friday. These are the spelling words this week: separate, especially, usually, beautiful, weather, whether, beginning, different, favourite, although.
- All blog writing needs to be completed by Friday. These are found on my Writing Blog (aka Question and Answer Blog) .
- Dead Words powerpoint due Friday - I know these can only be worked on at school because they are on the laptops, but the students are being given time in class.

Math
Pages 44-46 in textbook are due Friday. There is nothing new in this section, but it's what we have been working on since September.

Science
Two minute talk on any topic from http://www.divediscover.whoi.edu/. This is not to be copy and pasted, which for this assignment is plagiarism. The information needs to be reworded in the students' own words, and it will be presented orally on Thursday and Friday.

NOTE: I will be giving extra help in Math on Thursday afternoon.
