Hello Families,
This week students will be doing an error analysis of their first math quiz. Please sign both the test and the corrections, and ask your child what mistakes they made and how they will avoid these in the future.
In Social Science, we will soon be having a short quiz on the Quebec economy around 1980, the subject of the first section of the text. Students should revise their class notes and review the vocabulary sheet assigned this week.
In Science, we are studying weather systems and clouds. Students need to use their iPads to take photos of different cloud formations and bring these to class next Wednesday.
Home-reading books are beginning to be changed, but many students have been reading the same novel for the whole month. If they do not enjoy the book, or is it is too hard, please have them bring it back and we will choose another together.
iPads are now going home. Our class Code of Conduct was produced after a great deal of discussion. Please sign the code and talk about the different sections with your child.
iPad homework: Reflex math a minimum of 3 times a week
RAZ Kids books and Quizes twice a week.
Have a lovely week!

May Update
Hello Families,
The English Exam is now behind us, and we have an exam-free week is ahead of us. We will be revising for the Math Exam, due to begin May 25th and continue through June 4rth with segments of the test undertaken each day.
Over the coming weeks students will be reviewing key concepts in class and at home. I am correcting much of this work myself and we will correct the rest in class. All of this review will be contained in a light-blue duotang (coming home daily) and the JUMP 6.1 and 6.2 exercise books. These exercise books also have explanations, examples, and additional practice.
While I will be directing the lessons toward the areas in which we most need revision, it is important for students to ask questions and to help self-identify places where they have difficulty. If you find your child struggles, please help them, and refer them to the notes they have in these places for the strategies and processes we have studied in class. Then make sure your child is asking me for clarification in class as well.
As well as the materials above, there is math concept practice at Mathfrog (http://cemc2.math.uwaterloo.ca/mathfrog/)
Thank you for the help you give your child!
Kathy Napier
