Friday, September 24th

We had our Terry Fox run this afternoon. This is the after picture! Students can still bring in money ($1 or $2) on Monday. 

We will have a quiz on Canada on Thursday. There is a map that I have sent home that highlights the important parts to remember. This is a summary study guide from the three maps we made in the last week. 

Here is a copy incase yours gets lost!  Also book orders are due on Monday! I will set up the credit card option later today. 

Here is a sample of some of the Autobiography stories that are completed already. 

Have a good weekend and if you read the blog this weekend make sure you tell your child the secret code word so they can tell me and get a treat! It is "Popcorn"!

New year!

Finally...
Welcome to our blog for the 2015-2016 school year. I had some technical difficulties with my password. (Never hyphenate your last name when you get married!) We are slowly getting into the swing of things and have completed some assessments. We have started our human body it in science so expect your child to lecture you on what you are eating! We are also reviewing Canada geography before moving into our aboriginal groups history.

In Language Arts the students are working on an autobiography project and are welcomed to bring in pictures of themselves. Hopefully they will be up to view at the BBQ on Thursday. In math we have been setting up our problem solving strategies and beginning place value.

I will get the calendar updated for you to access shortly.

For help with Math homework assigned March 10 please look under math tutorial videos. It should be at the bottom.

Spoons workshop

Today the students had a chance to participate in a French Spoons playing workshop! It was awesome.

Visit #2 to Bruce

Here is the task for today's meeting! 

The more uses that a group could come up for the sheet the better! 

Bruce cardboard games

The gym was full of games that some of the grade 7 students had made using cardboard and duct tape. They were very creative and we had lots of fun.

Our first visit to Bruce for Destination Imagination

The winners of our group! Great team work.

The challenge was to build the best and biggest tower of cups stacked on top of each other! You had only string and an elastic. Some groups had a hard time getting into a rhythm but some excelled in this activity. It was a great first visit.
