Sept.24-28

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend! This week we will be finishing off our Field Day from the Black Lagoon book. Keep working on the Infomercial Oral presentation, it is due on Thursday October 4. I will be moving the x-table quiz to Thursdays due to the fact the students are with me for 3 ½ hours. Please be sure the x-tables are practiced every night. Even 5 minutes can make a difference!

*PLEASE SIGN THE BEHAVIOUR CHART IN THE AGENDA EVERY WEEKEND*

For Language Power:
Monday: pg 6, Tuesday: pg 7, Wednesday: pg 8, Thursday: pg 9, each page will be corrected in class the day after it is assigned. If you want to do the first 4 pages in one night, go ahead! Just don't pass page 9.

Reading Comprehension:

Dinner Time was due today.

Spelling:
Spelling Lesson 1 will be due Monday October 1. We correct the following Monday. A Spelling Test is given with Lessons 6, 12 and 18.

Math:
Pages in Math Prism will be assigned during the week. It is possible some students will have had time to complete them in class.
Nelson Math stencils will also be sent home.

There will be a Nelson Math Test on Monday October 1, on Ch.1 lessons: 1,2,3,5,7 and 8.

Students can use the Nelson stencils I assigned for homework or the Nelson Math textbook.

Have a wonderful week!

Multiplication Quiz and Oral Presentation

5 Minute Multiplication Quiz

Yesterday was the first quiz of the school year! I will not be counting this quiz for the report card, but I am asking that it be used to determine how much studying needs to be done. 50 questions in 5 minutes should be attainable! Repeating the facts out loud, writing them down, playing math games on the computer or getting oral quizzes are all easy ways to practice. I know that next week will be better :)

Infomercial Oral

Instructions can be found in the Field Day From the Black Lagoon activity book. The students will present in front of the class and be graded with a rubric by the teacher. Props and index cards are welcome for the presentation.

Some students asked if they can record it at home and bring it in on a USB key to watch on the Smart Board. I am willing to give this a try. The format would have to be compatible with Windows Media Player though.  If I cannot get the presentation to work at school, they will have to present in front of the class the next day. Be imaginative and have fun!

PROJECT DUE: Thursday October 4, 2012.
