Hello
Tonights homework is focussed on Multiplying Fractions, pages 151 - 155, #1-10. Students are brining home a Fraction Spinner to aid with question #6.
Also students should make sure their Language Power is up to date as I will be marking up to approximately lesson 40 over the holiday season!
We also worked on our Newspaper Ariticles in the computer lab for almost 2 hours. These will be due after our next computer period. If students need some more information, they should be gathering this at home so that it is ready to be put into their article.
Skate-a-thon tomorrow! Remember your skates (and helmet if you need one?).
I am still missing a few report cards sheets, which are now a week and a half late. Please send them in immediately.
Thanks
Mr. H

Hello
Class 8.1 has been working on the following assignments.
Math
Adding and Subtracting Fractions - All questions up to page 147. I am still missing a number of workbooks that were to be handed in on Thursday!
Spelling - All exercises for the Review are due Monday (homework this weekend)
Language Power- Lessons completed up to the end of Lesson 27 (homework this weekend)
Writing Sense posters are a week overdue now. After Monday the mark is 0!
Novel Study questions up to the end of Chapter 7. Many students did not hand in Chapters 1-5, which was due over a week and a half ago. This has now been marked and handed back. Missing chapters 1-5 is now a mark of 0.
If assignments are not completed and handed in on time, students will not be participating in the upcoming fun activities such as: Skating, Hockey Game, Movie Day, etc.. You will be spending your time catching up at school instead! Use your time in-class wisely, and complete your homework when you get home.
On the other hand I have some students with all of their work complete to date for term two. Keep up the excellent work habits! Attendance, punctuality, and work ethic are the keys to success!!!
Have a good weekend!
