Gr 7 quiz tomorrow

Just a reminder that the gr 7s have a science quiz tomorrow, Oct 14. The curriculum outcomes being assessed are:

- can discuss some of the main aboriginal teachings about nature 

- identifies and evaluates interactions among plants and animals in local ecosystems 

- identifies ways in which humans impact ecosystems and suggests ways to reduce negative impacts 

The unit includes a forth outcome that will be addressed in the unit exam mid November. The results of this quiz should be a good indicator of how the students are progressing. If a student receives a 2 or lower in any outcome, the parents will be notified by email. I want student progress to be an ongoing conversation and not a surprise come report card time. 

Some students have opted to complete a research paper in place of the exam. Those students will receive a rubric with their grade. 

All students who come to class without a completed paper will have to write the quiz and will be graded on the quiz only. If there are any concerns regarding this or anything else, please feel free to share them with me! We will figure something out!

Warm regards,

Mrs. Redpath
