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.

Notes from November5th, 2009

Hello all!  It's late and I'll be short and sweet.  I've moved the math test to Monday as we are slowly getting our numbers at school back up. We had nine away again today.  So, Monday they will have a math test.  No homework tomorrow night but they should bring their math home with them this weekend to review their notes. The data management we are working on is not difficult but it's worthy of reviewing work done in class etc.

 

I have three posts for you to view.  The first being a flyer about our trip to Quebec this May.  There is an annotated itinerary there which gives you a quick glance over for the trip.  Perhaps it will foster some discussion about this fabulous experience.  See the attachments below.

 

The second is the calendar for November.  There are some really important things to take note of.  It's a PDF that will come sidewise, please rotate to view.

 

The third is the Conestoga College flyer that will provide you with more information about what we are doing on the Career Day which is the 24th of November.  This is a fabulous opportunity; we are also looking for a couple parent volunteers.  If you are interested, give me a call or email.

 

Here are the posts!

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!
