We're back from a great two days at the Bighouse. Pictures to follow asap. Parents if you were up there (thank you for volunteering!) and you have pictures, please do send me a link.

Homework:

Science test this week: Division 5 (Reichert) Tuesday; Division 4 (Clarke) Wednesday. Students should know the definitions we covered in class, the water cycle, the difference between weather and climate, the major understandings we learned as a result of our water temperature study, the effect of the ocean, and altitude on temperature and precipitation, the need for and the limitations of measuring devices such as thermometers. All these topics we went over last week in class, and if students were missing notes, they were encouraged to seek out a classmate to borrow them so they could get caught up.

Ms. Jessie Rublee (our teacher-candidate from UBC) will be with us daily for the next two weeks, so we'll be involved in some exciting and fun activities!

Halloween costumes on the day of, but only in the afternoon, and with several restrictions which were sent out in an email by Mrs. Martin. Looking forward to it!
