No homework for tonight.  We've completed our integers math unit and are working on a new language piece.  Students had a great time swimming today and we will be back at it tomorrow.  Don't forget your swim trunks!

Have a great night!

Evening all, just a quick note.  Tomorrow, students have a math test in integers.  We've worked on adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers- we've also worked on order of operations and problem solving with integers.  Some people have resolved some of the issues with calculating in context, others need some more practice.  Tonight, students should be working to finish off 11.5, 11.6, and then should work on selected questions from the practice test and review.  Students have been taught numerous strategies and should practice employing these as they work through tonight's homework.

As a reminder, we are swimming tomorrow, please remember swim clothes.  For those students not going to swimming, they will be expected to attend school where they will be working on a swim unit.  Swimming is part of our physical education unit and every student will be responsible for learning in some capacity. 

Have a great night!

Sorry for the absence everyone, passwords and all- technology is a wonderful thing...  Tonight, students are finishing up some poetry based on a new age piece of writing found in our Nelson Literacy Unit- My Pockets Ain't that Phat.  This is a focus on the use of Metaphors to allow the reader to make inferences in our writing.  Much the same as you would do about a person's artwork.  Students should also be working on 11.5 and 11.6 in math- we have a math test this Wednesday.  All students have this for homework tonight because I only assigned up to the middle of 11.5 on Thursday of last week.  Some of the students seem to be struggling with subtracting integers as well as the order of operations in integers- it would not hurt a bit to do some more practice with them.

Just a reminder that we swim on Wednesday of this week.  WE ARE ALSO SWIMMING ON THURSDAY OF THIS WEEK AS A MAKE UP DAY TO LAST WEDNESDAY. 

Also, we are planning a KD fundraiser for the Moore Family.  Please ask your son/daughter for that information.  This is a very important fundraiser- the Moore family could really use our help going forward.

Have a great night!

Hello everyone,

Tonight students have a french quiz to study for and that's about it.  A good night to do some reading.  Today students wrote a challenging math test, many did quite well but shockingly, many couldn't find percent of a number.  Guess what we are working on during our next unit?

Students will have homework tomorrow night- many did poorly on writing an editiorial.  We will be editing and revising for the following week.

Students received their grad photo proofs tonight, please ask to see them.  Also, students received their swim forms for our annual swim program at Fergus arena.  The cost is $45 for five swim dates.  I encourage all students to take part in this as it is a great way to get into some spring activity.

Have a great night!
