Hi just a few reminders to parents and students.   Grade 7 and grade 8 classes are required to read 30 minutes a night in order to improve their reading comprehension.  I will post the top books from first term later this week. These could make great stocking stuffers! Grade 7 students have a weekly spelling TicTacToe to complete. Week two will be given out tomorrow. It's in hoping that students will learn these unforgivables by using them in context of creating a postcard, puzzle or comic strip. I will add it to my documents.Mondays and Wednesdays are Writer's Workshop Day, while Tuesdays and Fridays are Reader's Workshop Day. Grade 8 students have either an article of the week or Book Talk due every Friday.  This week they will have their discuss in Thursday's class and write it up for Friday. If absent, they can do it on their own. Mondays and Thursdays are Writer's Workshop Day, while Wednesdays and Fridays are Reader's Workshop Day. Students have set their goals in reading and writing, so it's onward and upward! (or should I say Dash away, dash away...!) :)
