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 increase the
likelihood that the facts are 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!
Ms.
