Science
Congratulations on  your performance in Science. Mrs. Clayton was so impressed by your class contributions and ideas. Keep it up!

Math
Key Concept - Remember, that your Math Reference Book and Student Journal (when used correctly and interchangeably) are smarter than your teacher!

Reading
Congratulations Emma on your use of  H.O.T.S. (Higher Order Thinking Skills) when talking about your reading in class today! Remember, anybody can talk about what they are reading, is is your ability to talk intellectually about your reading that will make you stand out!

    Up North
    I come from the city of maple leafs and the smell of maple syrup in the morning.
    I come from a place where pucks fly up the frozen lake.
    I come from the town of the Hockey Hall of Fame.
    I am from the show with a big bang.
    I come from Big Ben, cookies and Tea.
    I come from Boston pizza and saucy pasta.
    I come from the city in the west side of town.
    I come from the city of Niagara wonder.
    I come from a place of barns and windmills.
    I come from a place of wet rainy skies.
    I`m from a Maple Leafs strive.

    I live in only one season: the hot, sunny season of summer.
    Mr. Buxton, do I need the comma after hot in that sentence?

    What do you mean by "test", Mr. Buxton?

    Maddy,

    We will study this later...Basically, you must decide if the adjectives are coorinate or cumulative adjectives

    coordinate - you can swop them around and the sentence make sense
    hot,sunny and sunny, hot
    (if you can swap them - then you need the comma. if you can't swop them, then you don't need the adjectives.) You decide.. can they be swaped?

    Harrison - are leafs an irregular plural? hot tea or afternoon tea?
    last line is weak. how many proper nouns and adjectives do you have?

    Scott, don't worry about H/W - just do it over the w/end

    Maya - saying 'I like' doesn't provide any info. Be more specific about what you liked e.g. his use of the Maple leave ( it mad e me visualize Canada.

    All posts must be signed or they will be removed!

    When i say 'signed', I mean that if your sign in name is your name that is OK. You don't have to rewrite your name again at the bottom of the post. It is for people who have sign in names that are obsecure eg. spacels360

    Here is my poem Mr. Buxton
    A Strange World
    By Nakul Sharma

    I'm from the Red Fort to the India Gate
    From the boiling hot to the freezing cold
    From Deepak and Pratima who also have an Annoying older daughter

    I'm from where there's beggars on the streets and Blood in the air
    From where the greatest civilizations began
    From where cultural activity too

    I'm also from Nihaarika one of the most annoying yet Helpful sister in the world
    I'm from the polite to the rude
    From the brave to the scared

    I'm from the ones with no education, to the ones With plenty
    From where people die for their country
    From where people outsmart the world

    Hi mr.buxton is this better i made some changes.
    Up North

    I come from the city of maple leafs and the smell of maple syrup in the air.
    I come from a place where pucks fly up the frozen lake.
    I come from the town of the original Hockey Hall of Fame.
    I am from the show with a big bang.
    I come from Big Ben, cookies and afternoon Tea.
    I come from Boston pizza and saucy pasta.
    I come from the city in the west side of town.
    I come from the city of Niagara wonder.
    I come from a place of barns and windmills.
    I come from a place of wet rainy skies.
    I’m from a balmy Maple Leaf stride.
