Today the buses are cancelled due to the weather. Despite the fact that most students will be staying at home, there are a few things that they could be working on.
Language Arts
Students can ensure that they have completed their "steps" for their "how to..." writing assignment; they should have a series of steps that outline how to complete their chosen task/skill. Each step should be detailed enough for anyone to follow. Next week we will be taking these steps and blending them into a creative paragraph.
Reading is always encouraged!
Math
We are working on transformation right now so students could practice these skills using the following sites:
- http://www.mathplayground.com/ShapeMods/ShapeMods.html
- http://www.ixl.com/math/grade-8/identify-reflections-rotations-and-translations
They are also encouraged to play Math Reflex!
Science
We are working on constructing series and parallel circuits. We have yet to introduce these names formally and are still in the inquiry stage. Here is a great website of electricity links that students could explore:

Phys Ed
Shovelling! Cleaning the house!
Enjoy your snow day and if driving on the roads, be careful!
