Long, loooooong weekend...

...for you!

It's going to be a fun two days as I sit down with the fabulous 5G parents to talk about the wonderful kids in my class! On Friday, Ms. Brown and I are going to an all day workshop about how to teach math like teacher superstars (we're going to learn from Greg Tang, the author of all kinds of wonderful books about Math, like Math-terpieces, The Grapes of Math and Math Fables!).

And since I'm going to be hard at work, you're not off the hook! This weekend, you should review for your Government Test on Thursday, October 30th. The red review sheet is tucked inside your agenda, and that outline should guide your thinking this weekend. Use the textbook (that needs to be returned on Monday), your Socials binder and the fun websites posted to the left to ensure that you understand the material. Complete the Aboriginal government worksheet "A Special Relationship" for Monday to make sure that you have read the entire chapter! You do not need to memorize the dates of that worksheet - refer to the red review guide for what you need to know!

Most of you have finished Underground to Canada, but for those who have not, that is part of your weekend check-list! Next week we will begin our final novel study projects, so get reading!

It was a short, but great week together. Have a wonderful time with your family and friends, and I can't wait to see you all on Monday! :)
