My favourite Thanksgiving movie is Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Despite all the horrors of holiday traffic, Steve Martin and the late John Candy have a good Thanksgiving. I hope you enjoy the weekend with family, friends, food, and perhaps even your faith.
I'm not assigning new homework over the weekend, but there are a couple of things that need mentioning...
GRADE 6 SCIENCE
Project due Tuesday - presentations in class
LANGUAGE ARTS
All students received letters last week from penpals in Mauritius. I am asking that we send out our responses next week. Students have been given time in class to do this, but a few need to finish their letters.
As well, I handed out green-covered journals today. They are nature journals. The following directions are inside the journals themselves... (If you have any questions, please contact me at the school).
Nature Journal
Instructions: You are to go outside at least 10 times. You are to write 10 journal entries about where you went, and what you experienced while you were there. “Outside” includes cliffs, woods, beaches, yards, trails, fields, etc. It can be a bike ride, a buggy ride, a walk, etc.
Questions to think about: Where did you go? What did you do? What did you see? Smell? Hear? Touch?
You don’t need to write every single detail, or answer each question in each journal entry. However, for every entry, be thorough and creative.
Due: October 23, 2009
Total: 50 points (5 points per entry)
NOTE: If you lose or ruin this booklet, you are still responsible for 10 journal entries.
