- Read and Log - Grade 7 Math Quest 1,2,5,6,7 pg. 55 - "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" blog (optional) Today we finished the book "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" and students were given time to reflect upon the ending. I think it will become one of those classes I will not forget as a teacher. The feelings, emotions, and thoughts evoked from the novel went beyond what I had envisioned. I look forward to sharing some the students work with you and a special viewing of the film on November 6th at Miramichi rural school (date is currently tentative).

Homework - October 5/09

- Grade 6 Math: Make corrections to test - sign test - Read and Log - Soccer game tomorrow/Wednesday (jerseys) - Mental Math strategies 7-8 Grade 6 and 8 students did very well on their first test of the year. This year I will be using a new assessment strategy where students will be responsible for passing every outcome in their respective grade. This will ensure mastery of outcomes and better prepare each student for their academic future. As a result students who did not score marginal or better will be asked to study the outcome they missed and come to Mr. Hayward when they feel they have mastered the outcome. Students will then be given a short re-write on that specific outcome. This can be done at each students individual pace. If you have any questions about this new method of assessment please do not hesitate to e-mail: adam.hayward@nbed.nb.ca or call 228-2000.

Homework - October 2/09

- Read and Log Students in grades 6 and 8 wrote their first math test of the year. I am excited to see the results as I have been very pleased with the students' work to this point in the year. In social studies classes all students in 6-8 began working on a research presentation on "Champions of Human Rights" such as Stephen Lewis, Romeo Dallaire, Matthew Coon Come, etc. We have been doing a lot of work on the Declaration of Human Rights so I am sure if you asked your child about this document and the responsibilities that go with these rights you will be more than impressed with their level of knowledge. Have a great weekend!
