Happy New Year!  We now have a week of school under our belt and are back into our routines.  In Language, we have been learning how to stretch our sentences to include more detail and are now expanding that into building proper, detailed paragraphs.  We have also been learning how to identify the main idea of a text. In the coming weeks we will be preparing speeches.  Much of the work will take place at school, but you could be discussing topic ideas with your child to prepare for our brainstorming session.   In Math, we have just completed a unit on measurement and are now investigating 2D shapes.  In Science, we are learning about forces.  Yesterday, we had a great hands-on lesson watching the Grade 9 Transportation Technology class race CO2 cars.  Our students had some interesting questions for the high school students.
