Hopefully no snow days anyway. It's hard to get work done on weeks with missing days.
Here's the homework:
LANGUAGE ARTS
Spelling test is on Friday. This week's words are trickier than usual. The 1st 5 come directly from our Bone novel study, and the last 5 are qualities of the characters in the book. They are:
injustice
territory
locusts
quiche
comrade
deceptive
abrasive
scheming
optimistic
melodramatic
We are beginning a collaborative project with a Grade 6 class in a school in St Albans, Australia. They are only an hour away from towns destroyed by the wildfires down there. This is our website, where we will do some work together -

And this is their space, where we will also do some work -

As part of this project, students need to write an autobiography, for e-mailing to these other students. (If you have any concerns about privacy issues, please let me know. I don't mind sorting through these issues with any parents with concerns.) This autobiography needs to be completed by Wednesday.
MATH
I gave back last week's math tests, to be signed and brought back. Retakes will be later in the week. Math extra help will be tomorrow afternoon.
This is a website for tomorrow's Math class -
