What We Learned Today...November 24th

ELA: This morning the students spent the entire period working on their two paragraph assignment on the differences and similarities between the myth of Perseus and the movie, "Clash of the Titans".
Record Breaking Day: Recently our class was asked to lead the Record Breaking Day that our school will be hosting.  For this event the students had to select and plan a record breaking activity that they wanted to lead in the gym on Thursday morning.

Math: Students were given the entire class to work on the practice test from Pg. 153 in their textbooks.  It was also brought to my attention that we will be unable to have Math on Thursday due to the Record Breaking Events, so the exam has been moved up to tomorrow.

Science: During the last hour of the day we briefly reviewed the terms, "Food Chain and Food Web" before learning about the different types of changes in ecosystems.

Note about Report Cards: 
I have attempted to pack them with as much detail as I could. Besides the report card you will also receive an email containing a spread-sheet of all of the assignments and tests that I gave to your daughter / son for every class that I taught to them.It is a useful method to start a discussion about what is working well and / or what improvements need to be under-taken in order to maximize their learning potential in each and every class. Please send me an email at m.j.bresciani.rcsd.ca if you have not received a copy of them electronically. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss each student’s progress and to help ensure that the academic plan that we have for each and every student is the right one for them. Please remember too that if you cannot meet with me on the scheduled dates or if you feel that you need more time I am always willing to make myself available before or after school on any given day.
