Hello
We are getting down to the "NITTY GRITTY" in terms of marks for term 1. I have talked EXTENSIVELY to the class about completing work ON TIME and WITH CARE. This Friday there will be a Halloween Dance for students who do have all of their work complete. Students that do not will need to go to the work room to finish any assignments. Last night we had math homework which was completed by only one student! This was to prepare you for your Unit 2 Math Test. Make sure to complete the Practice Test tonight and to work on questions in the back of your textbook to make up Unit 2 Math Marks.
Other work completed today:
1) Halloween Unit - Poetry, Purrfect Penmanship

STUDY TONIGHT FOR YOUR TEST!

Thanks

Hello


Today we had an assembly to kick off the M.S. Read-A-Thon at our school. I will be sending forms home tonight and students may start to gather sponsers. One main difference between the Read-A-Thon this year and the past is that it is by # of minutes (instead of # of books) this year. We have two incentives for the M.S. Read-A-Thon: 1) A pizza party to the class who raises the most money and 2) a dance in November for any students that raise at least $20 (this should be easy!!!). We will be reading EVERYDAY as part of the fundraiser! Lets raise some cash for a great cause!

Cookie Dough Fundraiser forms and money were due by today! Please bring tomorrow!

A Story Before Time and Post Secondary Information Day Forms were sent home last night. PALS forms and Halloween Fun Night Forms were sent home tonight. Please return as sooon as possible.

Today's work:
1) Language Power - Lessons 8-9 and Review (Test Thursday)
2) The Outsiders - All questions/worksheets due by Friday.
3) Literacy Power - Joseph Jackson finished today
4) Mid Unit Review Due Tomorrow

We will be finishing Autobiographies tomorrow! Please remember rough copies and pictures.

Have a great night.
Mr. Hickey
