Students worked on their newspaper articles for OMAM. Many have their drafts almost finished. Tomorrow's plan was to go to the lab to begin typing them up but all of the labs are booked. So, we discussed it as a class and those students who have laptops at home and are able to bring them to class tomorrow are welcomed to do so. This will give the students an opportunity to get their articles typed up here at school and then they do not have to worry about completing it over the weekend. So if you have a laptop and you have permission to bring it tomorrow, please do.

All grade 9 students will be writing a reading comprehension assessment during the week of exams (January 25-29). We are, therefore, preparing for this for the next two weeks so students will have very limited homework. However, they should all be reading from their independent novels for 20-30 minutes every night.

We began watching the film "Schindler's List" yesterday. Students received their assignmet for this movie yesterday as well. You can begin work on this assignment any time but the second part of the assignment will need to be completed after we finish the movie. If you are having any problems with any of the questions, please come see me.
I have a number of students who work in my classroom every day at lunch. If you are interested in joining them, just let me know.
