Good morning everyone,
I would just like to begin by saying that it was an absolute pleasure meeting all of the new parents I hadn’t met yet on Friday for our goal setting conferences. I’m really proud of the work my students did on their goals and I look forward to seeing all the great things they accomplish throughout the year. Thanks for everyone who came by, I appreciate it!

Good morning everyone!
I just noticed that I had two blog posts that didn’t get posted on the site from last week and yesterday, my biggest apologies!
Student Photo Retakes are taking place tomorrow throughout the day.
This week’s dictee will amalgamate both this week and last week’s tests. Please remind students to review their articles. This week’s test will cover “the silent generation” and “the baby boomers”. Today, we listened to some famous baby boomer artists including the Ramones, Billy Idol and Madonna. Although most of the kids didn’t know who these artists were, they all recognized the songs we listened to.
Conferences will be held November 4th.
Remembrance Day assembly November 8th at 10:30 am.
This week`s dictée will be focusing on generations; “the silent generation” to be precise. We had a long discussion about the implications of growing up in different times and how it would contrast with our present way of life. We will continue to explore other generations in the coming weekly french quizzes.

Good evening everyone!
It completely slipped my mind to post about our math quiz this Friday. We are currently working on equations and variables. The quiz will include questions such as:
5n – 4
2s + 15
Students will be required to replace the variable with a value provided by me.
Another quick reminder that students must hand in their french writing composition (this week’s dictee) on their blogs. So far, I have about half the class’ handed in. Please remember students, you can use Google Docs from any computer or device that has access to wifi.
I hope this is helpful. Good luck everyone and have yourselves a great night!
Mr. A
