This week in math the students wrote a quiz on the 5 different methods we learned to solve a linear equation. We reviewed the quiz and the results will be posted shortly on Power School. The class also continued with Chapter 6 and practice how to solve equations using algebra ( "operation inverse" in french). Students did some practice questions with equations and with word problems. The class also did some work from the text book. Student had pages 238 and 239 # 1 - 7 and 8 - 9 as well as page 243 # 1 -5. There will be a unit test next week, Wednesday or Thursday ( March 18 or 19th )depending on the progress of our general review early next week. Students have been advised to bring home their note books and textbooks and and review the concepts we have seen this weekend in preparation for the unit test on Chapter 6.  

ELA:
This week in ELA, we began our poetry unit through a poetic devices jigsaw, where students became experts on certain devices. They will be teaching their groups about those devices Monday and will be writing a quick quiz about them on Tuesday. After that, we will begin various poetry stations to apply their new knowledge through various activities. This will last several weeks.

In social studies, we continued to work on our Confederation timelines. They were due on Wednesday. We then began preparing for the unit exam that will be on Wednesday next week (for which we will study). We will then be learning about the settlement of Western Canada.
