Homework

What a beautiful way to start off our week together. I continue to be impressed with 5G and their level of thinking as we critically look at new material. Today we jumped into the three levels of government (federal, provincial and municipal) and looked at what leadership is like at each level. We will continue to examine this in the upcoming weeks, but reinforcing these terms at home would be a great help. 5G discussed the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and what responsibilities we had in relation to those rights. This learning is on-going, and will certainly not stop in June!

In the agendas you will find a few tidbits of information:
  • Come to school dressed in P.E. kit and pack the proper uniform.
  • Read the article about voting ages. Decide what you believe and why you believe it. Discuss the issue with a loved one at home, finding out what they believe and why they believe it. Be ready to discuss in small groups tomorrow and to have a debate on the issue.
  • We did loads of practice with LCMs in class today. To ensure you remember how to do it, find the Lowest Common Multiple of 6, 8 and 10. Write the number in your agenda for me to check in the morning!

Enjoy your evening, and remember that...

Be not afraid of growing slowly,
be afraid only of standing still.
