MATH

Today we began Transformational Geometry, which will be a short unit with only 3-4 lessons and we will do an ‘art’ project as our unit test, which will most likely happen on Wednesday, March 2.

LANGUAGE

Today we continued working on our city/country writing activity. We took our jot notes from our graphic organizer and created sentences with them.

Oral Presentation Day will take place on Thursday, February 25. Please note that family members ARE more than welcome to join us and support our talented SJA students! Our top 3 students (Laryssa, Tomas, and Kamaljeet) will present their speeches beginning at 12:00 PM.

UOI

Today we continued working on our maps. For this summative, students will be working in groups to create a map of an urban and rural community. We will be looking for things such as roads, hospitals, stores, bank, a dump (located outside of the city), houses, highways, and as we move out to the country we should see more green land, houses spread apart, farms, etc. This summative will be due Wednesday, March 2, as our CN Tower trip is on Thursday and then Friday is the last day of school before March Break. I have attached a picture of the rubric and an example of what I am looking for.

Thank you to all of our volunteers for the trip. Ms. B and myself drew names out of a hat and Tomas' mother and Rishaan's mother will be joining us on the field trip!

Have a wonderful night!

Mrs. Hocevar J
