Dear Parents and Students,
Thank you for taking the
time to come in and meet with us. If you were unable to attend, please feel
free to contact us to make a time that works for you and your family.
This week we have been working on building
our research skills and how to check for credible sources, especially on the
internet. The students learned that finding two or more sources that have similar information increased the likelihood that the facts were
true.
We concluded the first part of our
Patterns and Algebra unit with a quiz covering all of the lessons we have
completed so far. This quiz will be marked and returned early next week
and we ask that you sign it and return it back to school.
The students have been creating
Federal, Provincial and Local Bylaws this week as part of our local government
unit. The entire class came up with three laws for our
"country" and in groups of two cities created three provincial laws
and then three bylaws for their cities. Students have also been looking
at how taxes are collected to pay for all of the services (police, transit,
garbage/ recycling, etc), provided by local governments.
Have a great weekend!
Mrs. Reeve
