Hello everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed the beautiful weekend we had. This week is a short week so we will only be reading for homework each night. Please don't forget to log your reading and collect those stickies.

7E1- Don't forget to have your book "Cowboys Don't Cry" in class as we will need it to find those pieces of evidence when we put Josh Morgan on trial.

*** Those who received their white sheets back from the public library don't forget to ask mom and dad if they have your cards. You don't need them to log into the NB library website to upload e-books because you can use the 4 digit number on the sheet. However, you will need to have the card if you want to sign paperback books out of the library. ****

Enjoy your 4 day weekend everyone!

Hello everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed your time off and are now well rested. Time is really flying by and now we are ready to continue to put those skills we've learned to good use.

For this week we are going to do our research at home for the statistic and facts that we will be using in our persuasive piece. We already know what our topics are and we have finished our introduction so it is now time to start the body paragraphs. Remember to quote your website and make sure it is a reliable source.

Also please do not forget to keep up your reading and sparks. Your book talk date will be here before you know it.

Have a great week everyone!

Mrs. Gregan

Please remember there is no school this Friday, April 1st as it is Parent Teacher day! No, this is not an April fool's joke. There really is no school!
