Here's What's Been Going On...

CATCHING UP ON MISSED WORK - 

Well, first of all, it looks like we've been posting some of our homework on the main page. If you are looking for homework and it is not posted, please email me.

This is a reminder for students who are away. Families are encouraged to ensure their child has caught up on all missed work. It is the student's responsibility to approach all teachers and catch up on work in a timely manner. Students are still having difficulty with this. This tells us that the students need more support in ensuring they catch up.

Taking initiative to find out on missed work is an ESSENTIAL skill as they make their way through the intermediate grades, into high school, and eventually into their future CAREER.

TECH NIGHT - 

Thank you to all of you who came to check out Tech Night in our classroom! We were giving demos on Kahoot!, Google Read and Write, Career Cruising (along with career-finding surveys), and Smart Ideas.

Parents and students came to try out Google Read and Write

Learning has been SO fun, that Meadow had to come out and join us...

It is true... one day as our grade 8 students were sharing their math solutions on the board, I noticed a frog staring back at me - and he wasn't in his tank! Meadow invited himself out for a stroll, clearly wanting to participate in all the fun we were having in math class. Upon discover, he was safely returned to his home.

It's been a while since my last post, so please check out our math, science, and language section of our class blog to see what we've been up to!

Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

It's been a while since I've posted an update! Between holidays and the cold that always seems to find its place in October, we've been busy!

The updated posts will be found on the Literacy and Math pages this week.

We are looking forward to visiting the Kortright Centre for some invaluable team-building opportunities! We hope to continue to strengthen our sense of classroom community through this field trip.

Our students are continuing to show great leadership through their involvement in extra-curricular activities such as Terry Fox Team, announcement team, office helpers, Honour Band, Glee, Eco Club, and the volleyball team.
Keep up the great work!

Thanks to our Terry Fox supporters, this happened!...

...and so did THIS! Ms Berman enjoyed this a little too much!
