So, we had a few changes in plans after doing a pretest, but that is what learning is all about!

Students started to break into the routine this week.  News article homework is going to be the next hurdle we jump.  Articles this week show that students need to focus on drawing important information from an article.  This is something we will work on throughout the year.

We also started "A Long Way Gone".  Students will be starting a journal section in their binders in order to respond to the various events that are described in the book.  Journals should contain a written component, but can also include sketches for the artistic students in the class.

Our map skills quiz will focus on the use and interpretation of maps in graphs for social studies. 

Finally our first test has been rescheduled for the 9th of September.

Have a good and safe weekend!
