January 14 ( Tues.) is Shadow Day at Amherst. We will be walking to the high school around 9:30. The students will move around the school in a group checking out all there's to know about Grade 9 life. Students will be eating lunch in the cafeteria that day. Please be sure to dress appropriately for the weather.
In literacy we have started literature circles. All the students have selected the book they'd like to read and have formed their groups.
Ratio and Rate is the topic we will be covering in Math for the next couple of weeks. We will also take a look at many real-life math topics such as dicounts (my favourite), sales tax (not really my favourite), commission and interest.
We will be finishing our cell unit in January and continuing with Geography. Another topic we will cover this week is Healthy Food Choices. This is a great topic to start conversations at home.
Don't forget that Friday January 17th is a PA Day.
