Gr 2/3 Science quiz

Yesterday we had an impromptu quiz on our animal and plants unit. All students did very well, with almost everyone scoring above 80%. Both gr 2 and 3 wrote the same quiz. Congrats to the following students who got a perfect 100%:

Rayna gr3

Leah gr2

Vittoria gr2

Many other students scored 94% with only one wrong answer! Please ask your child how they did! I will be sending them home to be signed. There will be a final unit exam mid November. I do not expect gr 2/3 to study at home for tests, but if you are concerned, please email me and I can send home a package to study.

Great work kids!

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

Rosary Club

On Tuesdays in October, join me at lunch to learn how to pray the rosary. We will start with some Praise and Worship, and then pray the Rosary. We have enough rosaries for anyone who wants to come and spend some time resting and praying. We meet in the library. Open to all grades.
