You can tell times are busy when I haven't been able to blog in a while!

Well the F.S.A.'s are finally done! You and your parents can expect to receive the results along with your report cards. That being said, the FSA results do not have any influence on the teacher assessments that are talked about in report cards- they have no impact on grades.

Our Read Aloud novel, Refugee, has many of us hanging on to each word and longing to continue hearing about the stories of Isabel, Josef and Mahmoud!

We have also started our unit on Ancient Rome in Socials- watch this space for some research activities that are soon to come :)

Tomorrow we will finally get our all 7's time that we have not enjoyed since before F.S.A.'s. We will discuss SPIRIT DAY that is coming up THIS SATURDAY! Notices will go home with all information needed.
Check out the Promo video here for Spirit Day:

I also recommend getting into some music by W.A.L. (We Are Love), formerly known as Jacob and Matthew Band to get you in the mood. They will be performing on the day- here is a link to my favourite song by them:

I am glad to hear you all had pretty eventful weekends! You worked hard today on our latest FSA. Not many left now!

I am also really enjoying reading your Civilization projects. They are almost all marked :)

I am sad to see our number of people missing work on the rise so far this week. Let's hope Think Tank is not full this week.... Onwards and upwards please folks.

I CANNOT WAIT to read more of our book Refugee to you all tmw!

Well done today to the volleyball girls that finished fifth at the tournament at O.L.G.C. We missed you all today!

I look forward to reading your first mass journals this coming Monday. Monday also marks the beginning of our F.S.A's- a rite of passage for all our grade 7's!

Have a fantabulous weekend :)

It is hard to believe that October is here already! 
I hope those of you at home sick feel better soon- there is certainly something going around! Today we started working independently on our Civilizations project for socials, as well as completing lesson 2 of Wordly Wise and finishing marking of our "diagnostic" math assessment package. We also practiced using our INFERRING reading power :)

Please come prepared for a productive Genius Hour tmw folks with your action plan in hand.
