Just throwing this out there...
Middle school students are not to have cell phones, Ipods, MP3 players, etc. at school. They can bring them, but once they arrive, they are to go into lockers.
If a teacher sees one of these devices, he or she can confiscate it.

LANGUAGE ARTS
Spelling words, derived from our new unit in Science...
hypothesis, variable, amoeba, microscope, organism, characteristic, biologist, magnifying, tweezers, scissors
AS WELL...
Several students do not have calculators. Could you please confirm that your child has one? I have bought several, but they are not enough for the demand in the class.
On March 31, Theatre New Brunswick will be here. Grade 7 will atttend at 1PM. The cost is $2. Thank you for your cooperation.
We are working on making movies in Art class. Each group needs a box. Please confirm that your child's group has one.
Thank you for your support. This year has been a real learning curve for me, and I appreciate the occasional note of affirmation I receive. I am considering an end-of-year trip, so if you have any ideas, send them along... patrick.cook@nbed.nb.ca .

Week of March 16
SCIENCE
Working periscope due Wednesday
Test on Thursday - students can use the test preview given and completed Tuesday afternoon
MATH
Fractions to percent worksheet - the previous word problems worksheet is on hold for now as I back up and re-teach certain components. These questions are more in line with where the students are.
ART
The students are making movies with claymation. Each group needs a box for a background for Thursday.
Several students need calculators. Please make sure that your child has one. Please understand that even if they began the year with a calculator, that doesn't mean they still have it.

Extra Project
This is an extra-class assignment for one student. The reason I am posting it ere is that the printer is not working correctly today.
Grade 7 Classroom Enrichment Activity Sheet
COLLABORATION – Teach Australia!
You are to create a slide show presentation, teaching the rest of the class about our collaborating country, Australia. You may teach about the wildlife, the transportation, the Aboriginal population, the history, or anything else you would like.
Here’s what needs to be part of the presentation:
- The country’s capital, population, and major communities
- The country’s religion and ethnic make-up
- A map showing the country, as well as a map showing where St Albans school is
You are not simply to read the slides, but teach them. You may have a few words per slide, but you need to teach more than what is on the screen. The presentation needs to be at least 20 slides.
