Room 18 is a busy place!
Here goes.....
Our novel studies are coming to a close - only two weeks left! That means 2-3 literature circle tasks left, and two Chapter summaries. The teacher in charge of each novel will go over the culminating activities/possibilities for each book. There are many options available to explore, and I will list some of the possibilities as the novel studies finish up.
The grade 8's are heading to Galaxy Cinemas in Orangeville to see Catching Fire, on November 26th. The rating of the movie is PG 13 in Ontario. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know. Permission forms have gone home and are due back by next Friday. Parents are more than welcome to join us.
The "Going to the Movies" 6-square essays -good copies - are due on Friday. The kids must have their rough copies self-edited, peer edited, and they must meet with me for a teacher conference before they start their good copy.
In math, the kids will be getting their square root/perfect square essays back tomorrow. We are working on exponents right now and will move on to Scientific Notation by the end of the week.
Progress Reports go home Thursday. Please go over this report with your son or daughter. Parent/Teacher interviews are next Thursday night and Friday during the day. I have sent a schedule to each of the kids on their UGCloud account. Please sign up for any interview time that is open. If times conflict, or if you would like to book another time that works better for you - please contact me at the school.
Our class potluck will take place during the last two periods on the 28th of November. The group that won our first Monopoly challenge chose this as their celebration/reward. There will be a sign-up sheet to fill in for treats and munchies.
Our next visit with the seniors at Centre 2000, on November 21, at 12:15pm.
I think that wraps things up for now!
Take care,
Miss Waddell
