Sample:
Collecting and Organizing Data:

Page 2: (on graph paper)
- a graph that includes (title, legend, labels, numbers, and two different colours)
-please use the lines and a ruler when making your bar graph. That is the reason why graph paper was created, wasn't it?

Science:

If time allows, we will create a broken line graph with our information we gathered in our chart during our pulleys experiements.

Social Studies:

We are watching a DVD which summarizes everything we have learned about Medieval Times up to this point.

In our planners:

- We need to bring in our pennies for the penny drive.
-I have asked the students to donate any shampoos, soap, loation, new socks, or anything else they have lying around the house to give to the womans interval home this year. It is a charity that I like to donate to myself, and am willing to drop off all the collected items if they are brought in.
- If you have not brought your Science diorama home, please arrange for it to be picked up this week.

On Friday:

-we will be having a fun filled day. We will be following a procedure to create gingerbread houses. We were asked to bring in candies to help decorate the houses.
-Also, in our last block, we are having a Holiday get-together and we will play board games and eat snacks. The students were asked to bring in board games they want to play in the last block. If the students bring in snacks we are asked to label which snacks contain milk products.

That is all the news for this week! Have a safe and happy holidays!!!!!!

We will see you in the NEW YEAR (2013) Can you believe it?

 HAPPY HOLIDAYS
