Mr. Mead's Blog

Parents & Students! Welcome to the Room 8 blog!

Here you will be able to access homework, get reminders about assignments, tests and important events at East Gary. I hope to post a blog at least once a day, keeping you up to date of all things "East Gary". Unfortunately, we are not opening up the blog to comments, but, as always, you can contact me at East Gary via phone or email. If you need an update, you can call me at 519 855-4484 ext 311 or email me at shane.mead@ugdsb.on.ca. So, here we go! We're going to give this a go and see if we can save some trees.

Sincerely,
Mr. Mead

Homework and Notes for November 4th

 Permanent link

Hello everyone!  Things are getting better, only 9 away today.  I hope everyone continues to take care of themselves so we can get back to normal as soon as possible.  If you are home sick, focus on getting better-if you can do some homework, great, but don't delay getting better.  Tonight, students have some History for tomorrow and they should be finishing off chapter 3 (grade 7) and Chapter 4 (grade8).  We are going to have a unit test Friday on Data Management.  Our next unit will be Patterning and Algebra.We are continuing with our Rose Buddies program and students will be entering their 5th week of biography writing. 

 

A letter about Quebec was sent home today.  Unfortunately, if you were sick, the note did not make it home.  I hope to have something posted on the site tomorrow, along with the calendar for November.  Also, I'm going to post a sample itinerary for everyone to either print off or review.  We are very excited about our trip and we have a great price this year-one we've had to work very hard for.

 

Just a friendly reminder that we are about to finish our fundraising venture for this year.  We hope that students have taken advantage of this great opportunity and sold some wonderful magazines or renewed some at the least.  Don't forget that you can order magazines online at www.QSP.CA and log into with the code #7878 or type in East Garafraxa.

 

Thanks and see you tomorrow!

 

P.S. I will be away in the afternoon tomorrow, but regular programming will still occur!

Notes for November 3rd, 2009

Hello Everyone.  Sorry for the late post.  No post yesterday as I had an inservice in Guelph.  So we've seen a dwindling of students in class over the last 48 hrs.  11 missing students today, 10 yesterday.  Hopefully we can get back on track this week.  There is no homework tonight but there will be some tomorrow.  For students who are absent, they can work on their math -chapter 4 in grade 8 and chapter 3 in grade 7. Students also have chapter 1 and 2 in History as well.  We are into November which means a new calendar and seating plan- look for it tomorrow.  Hopefully all parents have had a chance to look at their son/daughter's fund raising magazine.  We are finishing the program this week!  I hope all students had a chance to sell some!

 

That's it for now.  Please feel free to call into the school and get some homework picked up.

 

Bye for now.
