Ender's Game Projects: Pretty sure we said we would take them home today..iIf your project is still on display you are expected to be here by 0820hrs to pack it all up. If not they will be scavenged for what can be to the box of random goodness. A force of maddie proportions will then dispense with them to the appropriate receptacle.
We are still missing 1 copy of I am David. We are going to incur late fines...
If you miss a homework check or assignment deadline, it is YOUR responsibility to follow up with a teacher, rather than them chasing you down. Our indoor recesses are a really good time for things of this nature.
Chess Team: Bedford is considering entering 2 Grade 7/8 Chess teams into a team-chess competition. First try out is on Tuesday 18 Feb. Experience is required as we will not be able to use this as a learning-about-the-basics opportunity.
Parent Teacher Interviews...students and parents requesting an interview are invited to contact the specific teacher directly my email (firstname.lastname@tdsb.on.ca)
Our next novel study will be The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread, by Don Robertson, and The Outliers, by Malcolm Gladwell. Students are encouraged to have their own copies by the end of February. These will wrap up our fiction and non-fiction texts, with the final unit of the school year focusing on poetry, expression, and media.
Bring your devices in tomorrow; we will be spending an extensive
amount of time working on our speeches. We expect to have a complete
draft finished by the end of the day.
Cleanliness...too
many things are left behind at the end of the period/day...pencils,
rules, homework from rotary subjects etc. Please remember to clean up
after yourselves when you are packing up to leave ANY classroom or
instructional area.
Extra-curricular involvement: It is your responsibility to manage your time effectively. Why not experiment with it by volunteering outside of school hours. There may be opportunities at Locke Library and PJ Pets for student volunteers. Consider seeking one out if you find yourself idling by the non-academic screen.
Bags and Indoor footwear: General reminder that bags should be stashed under the table/desk instead of slinging them on the back of a chair or occupying a vacant seat. Try to change into dry footwear during the school day to avoid puddles in the classroom.
A journal was published last week finding the oldest star in the universe (thus far), making the new estimated age of the universe 13.7 billion years.
Is the artistic statement due tomorrow?
