In honor of Rememberence Day we read a book called Rose Blanche .

We had to write a response to Rose.

We have to pick between 2 projects

#1: You have to pick a person and write a report on them and afterwards you would have to present to the class through posters or a Power Point.

#2: If you choose this project you have to use your creativity and write your own survivor story through a diary entry.

We have been working on our survivor masks. We are on our 3rd layer of paper - mache. We are also starting to read some stories about survivors. after we finish reading them we have to wright a response and do a work sheet on the story.

We have just started to paint!

We started our ELA unit about survivors on October 10th. We will be learning about what it means to be a survivor while reading short stories and doing research projects on different survivors. We have also set our classroom up in "Survivor" teams based off of the TV show. Teams will accumulate points for rewards, but unlike the show no one will get voted off.

The teams involved are:

The Fortune Cookies

The Anacronda's

The Thai Fighters

Kucha

Zulu

The first will be a read out loud called "The Golden Compass"by Phillip

Pullman. The reason this book was chosen was because it has been made into a movie that will come out December 7th. Hopefully the students will be able to see the difference between the written story and the story that we see on screen. If you are interested you can go and see the movie trailer.

The second book will be "Crash" by Jerry Spinelli. The students will be involved in ELA work around this book

we are now writing poems for a contest in the cbc.

We are writing newspaper articles about mysteries.

This year in math we started off with number operations. We have looked at expanded form, exponents and scientific notation. We had our test on this unit on Friday, September 28th.

On October 1st we will start the unit on Geometry. We will start with a pre-test. There are links to interactive geometry websites down below. Please use them to test your knowledge or to learn more about geometry.

We have been looking at different shapes (polygons), lines and angles. We are starting to look at slides, flips and rotations. We will finish off this unit by looking at tessellations.

Geometry Links:

We went on a website to practice useing Tessellations!

This is a place where students can post questions about what is happening in the classroom (tests, assignments, or presentations). The students have been keeping this page pretty up to date.

On this site if you find a interesting website that you would like to share with others in the class please post it here with a brief description of what it is about.
Miniature Earth:The idea of reducing the world’s population to a community of only 100 people is very useful and important. It makes us easily understand the differences in the world. This site uses this concept to explain the differences found within our world.

finnaly a website that talks about trolls http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll

Classroom Beliefs of 7K

We believe that our desks and lockers are private and that you need to ask permission before borrowing or using someone else’s belongings.

We believe that work should be fun and that all humour should be clean/ appropriate and not at other’s expense.

We believe we can play hard and work even harder.

We believe in taking pride in what we do, how we have our classroom organized and in how we teach others and ourselves.

We believe the classroom is not a barn. We should take care of what is ours and everything has a place.

We believe that to keep the classroom clean and organized we need to clean up after ourselves and help out others.

We believe that we all have the right to learn. If we are talking it should be quiet, on task and not disrupting others.

We believe in including others in our groups and activities.

We believe in standing up for each other and in telling others to stop putting others down.

We believe in being responsible and that we can be prepared for everything and can be on time.

We believe in no cheating and doing our own work. We believe we should always do our best.

		These are the masks 7K made using paper mache. Each student designed, painted and decorated their own mask. The project was messy, but was a lot of fun and produced great results!
