Good Afternoon,
I think fall has come.....let's hope it stays for a while and the snow stays away.
ELA & Religion--We did some review on sentence structure this week in addition to working with our journals and autobiography. The Timeline project will be due after the Thanksgiving weekend. Please make sure that the students have pictures/items to work with this week in class to finish up this project. We will be doing a short novel together and a Poetry Unit after the Timeline Project is complete.
Math--Grade 8s have finished Chapter 1 and had a test today. Grade 7s are completing the last unit in Chapter 1 and will have a test next week.
Social Studies--Students have been discussing root words, ice age, stone age and the development of humans.
Science--Students finished their work on cell theory and microscopes. Next week we will look at structures of animal and plant cells.
French--Students finished their study on school vocabulary and had a test.Scholastic book orders will go home on Monday.
Spirit Week--Oct. 5--Backwards/Wacky Day, Oct. 6--Sports Day, Oct. 7--PJ Day, Oct. 8--Hat Day ($1 for Terry Fox Foundation), Oct. 9--School Color Day (Blue or wear your school t-shirt from last year)
On Friday at 2:00 the students will be going on a walk around the community in honour of Terry Fox. All parents are welcome to join us. The students should have brought home a Tasks for Terry sheet with their hand print on it. Please return the sheet with donations by Friday, October 9.
Agenda Check--EVERY MONDAY
Please ask your child about the incident that happened on the playground Tues. p.m. They can inform you of their consequences.
A yearbook club has been formed and began last week Thursday at lunch. The group met again this Thursday but many of the students seem to have lost interest. We are hoping to create a yearbook for all of the students to enjoy. This is a large task and we need all the help we can get. Please speak with your child and have them see me if they are still interested. I'm sure we can find something of interest for them to do.
Have a great weekend!
