The First Classroom Blog Of Year

 Mithran’s Blog

Dear Families and Students,

In our classroom, we have just started the year, so many students are working on diagnostics. We are showing what we know and where we are, so Mrs. Van can get an idea of where we are this year.

Math Diagnostic 

In language, we are working on a 'Future Me' assignment, where we write to our future selves, who will be in grade 12. The assignment seems to be fun and joyful, and many students look forward to reading it in grade 12.

 In history, we are doing a history assignment, which was about who was the most impactful Historical Event/Person. It could be Martin Luther King Jr., Terry Fox, World War 1, The Great Depression, etc. 

Example Of An Impactful Historical Event

In reading, we are reading a book in class, which is called Red Wolf, and we have to write the 6 key events and draw them. We have gotten to Chapter 2 in the book.

The Book We Are Reading

 

We have just got into science, and we are learning about observing, inference, quantitative data, qualitative data, and the five senses. We are learning the difference between observing and inference, like observing that there is a dinosaur and inference, I think the dinosaur is going to go eat. 

In art, we are drawing our silhouette, and our classmates will use our shadow to draw our silhouette. Many students will have a silhouette of themselves with a brain on it. Inside the brain, there would be what we like: hobbies, friends/family, countries, video games, and food. Mrs. Van will take 2 of the silhouettes to the Ilderton fair to display for families to see.

In French, we have a project where we write about ourselves and our partner in French, like our favorite

sport, animal, food, how many siblings we have, etc.

We are in our soccer unit in Phys Ed as students prepare for soccer tryouts, as our tournament is on September 22. GO COUGARS!!!

Our schedule for basketball and volleyball has been switched, and basketball will be before volleyball.

 

That is everything that is going on in our school for the first week. I am extremely excited for the basketball season to start. Thank you for listening to this week's blog.
