Short Week!

It's been a short week but a busy one :)

This week, we have started some new things...finished up some other activities....

Here is what's going on in Room 18 :

Language : this week we worked on our speeches, magazine covers, and language rotations. Today, Mrs. LeBlanc (our principal's wife) is coming in to talk to the kids about magazines and magazine article writing and editing. She works in the magazine field and has A LOT of experience that she can share with the kids. Looking forward to it!

Math : we have completed our circles unit, and have moved right into ratios, percents and decimals.....not the easiest of topics, but one that the kids can work at :)

Geography : we are talking about population distribution and the factors that affect where people live on the planet.

Phys-ed : we are still working on rugby skills with Michael, our co-op student, and have also started ultimate frisbee and lacrosse.


Reminders :

The first installment of the grade 8 trip is due on Wednesday - $160.... cheques made out to Studentkind please!  Everyone who registered their child to go on the trip has received an email that outlines the details of the trip and when the deposits are due.  Fundraising is on-going...honey sales are  going great and chocolate bars are coming soon!

Have a great weekend!
