Thursday

Tonight, please review the Memory Strategies package that was sent home. This may stay home to complement your own Learning Styles information from yesterday. The Memory Strategies will be taught explicitly in class this year, but I wanted to have the information at home as well so that everyone involved has the ability to reinforce these concepts. These are a just a few of many very good strategies that help students learn to their full potential!

Reminders:
Please return finished Library books for our class tomorrow.
Please bring an old painting smock for our Art lesson. This will stay at school for the entire year for any messy art projects we find ourselves into!
Come in P.E. kit and bring your uniform
Donate online for Terry Fox
Each item of your uniform should be very clearly labeled with your name -- this is important to help decrease the number of unclaimed clothing items each day!

Math: pages 26 and 27 in Jump I
Language Arts: Read over your "Canadian Geography" inspired creative writing piece, and complete the "Y-Pie". We will look over your Y-Pie tomorrow in class and then apply your own feedback to the writing piece before I formally go through them (I confess - I read them all last night and loved the wonderful places you chose from the Canadian Atlas for your setting! Your ability to bring in details from the land was often stunning, and I look forward to reading about how the land influences the story that develops! Please, though, remember that tonight is just for editing - we will finish the stories in class).

Thank you!
