Weekly Update Sept. 16, 2012

The students are settling in well into a new school year. They should have brought home their school photo information for you to place your order online for photos. Any questions you might have can be answered by contacting Ryan David Photography directly, either phone or email.


Please make sure to return the student forms that you received a week ago in a folder back to the school. These forms will enable your child to participate in Intra-murals as well as use the technology lab.

ELA--We have started or routine for the year. Students will be working on weekly grammar, vocabulary, spelling sheets with a spelling test every two weeks. They have written a summer summary, have completed an in class reader response and we have talked about "Filling Buckets". I will be handing out an All About Me Project on Monday for the students to complete. No Due Date yet but likely it will take them two weeks to complete.

Math--Gr. 7--started Ch.1 on Graphing and Transformations. They will have at least one quiz this week.

Math--Gr. 8--started Ch. 1 on Representing Data on Graphs. They will also have at least on quiz this week.

SS--We started working on our first cluster, World Geography. We will be studying Map Projections, Latitude, Longitude, etc. this week.

French--Basic Review of colors and verbs.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call the school or email me directly.
