It is my sincere pleasure to be back with students and staff at SIS again. I wish to thank Ms.Maureen for her professionalism and devotion to student learning during her stay.
Language Arts: I am returning to the Tech Effects unit and this week students will be doing a writing assignment in response to an exciting piece of fiction! Something to think about before we read, "Would you want a computer that had a personality feature and could communicate with you?" " What would be the advantages and disadvantages?"
Students are reminded to read every day for a minimum of 20 minutes to build fluency and grow dendrites. :)
As well as the writing component this week, we will also be reading an article about the use of robots in society. Students need to think about what they might like to have a robot for. Will it clean your room? Keep brothers and sisters from invading your space? ;) Just to give you a head start on a cool project that is to come.
Grade 7 Health/French: This week, presentations will be completed based on the Wellness Outcomes that Ms. Maureen was completing. There is a final section on bullying and resiliency. Students will be responding to written materials as well as media text. Next week, we will make the transition to Core French. Informal diagnostic testing will give us a greater sense of where each student is at, who might need more support and who might need a challenge.
Great 8 Health: This group is just completing the Drug Use and Abuse Section which includes the Canadian Documentary Through a Blue Lens. We should be able to finish the health outcomes this week or Monday at the latest. We will make the transition to French next week. :)
Thank you and have a great day!
