We had a busy week with the introduction of the Pythagorean Thereom, finishing off your viking ship challenges, and making our way into the final chapters of Lord of the Flies. You grade 8's were all fabulous role models in today's earthquake drill as you set a great example for the younger grades by lining up quickly, staying quiet during attendance, and being prompt and ready for directions.

Today in Math we reviewed yesterday's practice questions and discussed what makes a right triangle and Pythagorean triples. You had a short two question quiz that I have gone over. There are still a few of you out there who may need some extra help and I encourage you to come see me during my tutorial times or lunch next week!
In Lord of the Flies we started chapter ten and read up to page 229, 5:24:49 audio book. We discussed symbolism within the novel and what the underlying meanings are of the beast, conch shell, fire, and Piggy's glasses. Your "Inside a Character's Head" was due today so if you did not hand it in please make sure it is done for Monday.
Announcements for next week:
* Tuesday we will be visiting and doing a Halloween art activity with our little buddy class at Poirer.
* Thursday, October 27 - Halloween Dance, $5 tickets on sale all week at lunch.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy our beautiful west coast autumn (pretty leaves and fresh wet air!).
- Ms. Lajeunesse
