May+Mayhem!



__**Wednesday, May 28th (10:06pm!)**__ Apologies for adding to this at this hour - hope you were able to get to sleep despite the disappointment just the same! I have marked your integer quiz tonight - some of you will need to make repairs tomorrow. Some of you did REALLY well...Philip and Rory got 100%!!! Looking at your media assignments: 3 of you still owe me Part Two, and two of you have not recorded a commercial. This was due May 20th. Looking at your geography assignments: 3 of you STILL owe me the map, and 8 of you haven't finished Part Two. If you've shared it with me on your Cloud account, please read the comments I have made, and make those repairs.

There will be some names on the board tomorrow, but honestly, the SSR doesn't seem to be working. Neither does the threat of losing marks for late work, or not marking late work...wait til you have a real boss!

__**Monday, May 26th:**__ Thanks to Davis for bringing in that beautiful Fairy Tale book - we like story time! In the midst of marking the media projects - some of you have done a lot of work! Weekly math sheets are now into the final phase...each week a different strand will be covered. Week 30 is now attached - I made this up last night AFTER that hockey game, so look out!!! Your masks look wonderful - good job!

Eat a good breakfast tomorrow!

__**Friday (yea!), May 23rd:**__ Even though it was a short week,...staying up late watching very intense hockey games is not good for me! Hope everyone listened to the chat we had yesterday and today regarding treating people nicely - there is enough sadness and cruelty in the world, without having it in our school or classroom. "Maybe our job is not to toughen you up for a cruel and heartless world. Maybe our job is to teach you not to be cruel and heartless." (Just a quote I read on facebook that I kind of liked!)

So everyone has handed in their media project, right? And the geography map and write up, right? Hope so. FYI, two weeks today I'll be writing up your report card!!!

Have a great weekend. Ben, be careful. Caelan, watch that knee. Davis, thanks for 'Hab' - he is perfect! Alyssa, you are brilliant on the iPad! Taylor have fun with your 3 ice times! Sonia, be careful on Chester!...

Be good!

__**Tuesday, May 20th:**__ Sounds like some of you had a busy weekend - hope Owen and Jared can stay awake today! I'll try not to be too cranky today, despite the scores of the Habs games! PU!!! 7 of you still owe me Week 28 = SSR today, on this beautiful sunny day :o( 7 of you still owe me your Geography maps. 15 of you have today's lab period to finish Part Two of that assignment. I will be collecting what you have done by the end of the class, so hoping it is already mostly finished! If yours has not been handed in, please get a parent's signature on it . They need to know you're having a tough time getting things handed in by deadlines! I will be marking your Media assignments this week - is yours in the pile on the counter? If not, you might be able to sneak it onto the pile without me noticing...DO IT!!!

So, a little pandemonium at my house...a family of squirrels has taken over a log bird feeder. There are 5 little ones who listen to their parents and stay close to home...man, are they full of energy. Kind of reminds me of you guys, only...

__**Friday, May 16th:**__ Just a quick note to tell you to all have a great long weekend! Be nice to your Mom's (make her a cup of tea!), and play with your dogs...have fun. Those who still owe Week 28 - you have homework. Those who still owe your Geography Map and Part Two - you have homework. Those who still owe your Media assignment - you have homework. I would much rather have the weekend off, than do homework that is now overdue.

For the rest of you - enjoy! And cheer for les glorieux!

__**Thursday, May 15th:**__ That must have been some good vibrations from you last night - thanks for doing your homework!!! For Friday - Weekly math sheets are due. Week 27 is marked and in the bin. Some were missing. Hmmmm. - Geog. maps should all be in the hand-in bin. The written part may be typed in the lab next Day 1. - Media assignments should be handed in by Friday. - Thanks to the girls for their hard work today regarding the yearbook covers! Much appreciated.

Remember, tomorrow afternoon is the 'Spring Fling' activities...outside or computer lab, or dance. A small canteen will be available.

__**Wednesday, May 14th:**__ How come I haven't been adding things to the wiki? And more importantly, how come NO ONE is complaining?!!! Hope you had fun today, hope you enjoyed the music, the talent, the history...and hope you learned something! Hope Caelan had a good birthday, and hope Owen doesn't eat any more Cheerios that have been on the floor. Hope Caelan has a great trip out to Whistler! Hope Emily had a fun day! Thanks for the Habs puck, Ethan! Hope that brings a lot of good luck tonight!

For Friday - Weekly math sheets are due. Week 27 is marked and in the bin. Some were missing. Hmmmm. - Geog. maps should all be in the hand-in bin. The written part may be typed in the lab next Day 1. - Media assignments should be handed in by Friday. I have the videos of Joe's group, Ethan's group and Ben's group. You might want to preview them, so will share them with you.

Remember to do your homework I assigned at the end of the day!

__**Thursday, May 8th:**__ So far, only three of you have brought your Permission forms back...they are due Monday, which doesn't mean Tuesday.

So, I was going to make your Geography maps due next Thursday, but Caelan suggested Monday, so guess we'll go with that. Thanks Caelan! Nice to see you so keen!!!

Media assignment is due Monday.

Remember to come prepared for Jump Rope tomorrow. Any pledge forms? Donations? Remember to dress accordingly - we'll be going out even if it is raining slightly. If it is really bad, it will be rescheduled. Hope for sunshine!

__**Wednesday, May 7th:**__ Don't forget your Field Trip permission forms - you all received them, and they are due on Monday. The trip to the Museum of Civilization to see the performance 'Canada Roars' in music looks fantastic! Date of trip is one week from today, May 14th. Cost: $20.00.

Paul has asked me to add the Geography assignment to the wiki - great problem solving, Paul (yes, I know he lost his copy!)

__ English: __ ~ Just got notice that the lab is closed tomorrow for repairs - so guess we'll have math after all. Sorry folks. I will extend the deadline for the English Media assignment until Monday, May 12th, keeping in mind that you have the lab that day (if it is working).

Emily and Lily - I have shared your commercial with you (I think!). Check it out and let me know if it worked.

__**Tuesday, May 6th:**__ __Math:__ ~ Week 27 is attached, and due Friday. ~ Speaking of MEDIA, you should check out this video (I apologize in advance for one word that isn't too appropriate), it is well worth the message. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7dLU6fk9QY __English:__ ~ Media assignment due Friday.

Gotta go - big game starting!

__**Monday, May 5th (Cinco de Mayo!)**__ What I really wanted to tell you yesterday was 'May the Fourth Be With You!" Get it? __Math:__ ~Week 26 was marked and returned today - still 3 owed to me. Week 27 is now attached, and due Friday. __English:__ ~ Media assignment due Friday.

Would you play in the NHL for 10 cents a game?

__**Thursday, May 1st:**__ Big game tonight, so this won't be too long! Before anyone goes too crazy, there is a bit of a seating plan change...because I have the judging of the Yearbook Covers tomorrow, and will have many guests in the room to view the masterpieces. I realize that Taylor won't be there tomorrow and she was supposed to be one of our judges...so would like to ask Davis to fill in, along with Ethan. First recess! Good luck! Don't forget, your weekly math sheets are due tomorrow, along with those 3 math pages. Go Habs Go!!!
