Dear Knights,
The highlights of the past week included wrapping up our study of equations in Mathématiques with 7F2 and writing a full short story, from beginning to end, in Français with 7F1! A lot of hard work was accomplished in all the academic subjects.
In English, with both classes, we practiced identifying the main idea of a non-fiction text by looking at the similarities between the facts listed in the article and those listed in the article’s text features (captions, photos, graphics, headings, etc.). We also identified the cause and effect relationship in a few short texts in order to better understand that structure. We have one last structure to learn about, and it is the one students are most likely to use in their own non-fiction articles: the problem/solution structure. We will likely begin to brainstorm ideas for our non-fiction articles by the end of the week.
The end of Term 2 is quickly approaching. Students with missing assignments will soon receive a printout – and an email home – with their missing work. Monday, March 12 will be the deadline to hand in any missing work from Term 2. Thank you to all Knights who continually strive for Excellence and maintain personal and academic Responsibility.
I hope everyone had a great weekend.
Happy reading!
