Track and Field!

Track and Field was a HUGE success!

Congrats to all of our participants in Tuesday and Wednesday's track and field activities.  City track is at the University of Guelph on Monday.  All students participating in this event will be notified and given a permission form by Friday morning.  Quite a few students from 8D will be attending.

The grade 8 trip is coming quickly!  Yesterday, fundraising information/totals were sent home with the kids. This amount will be taken off the final installment of the trip...or if the fundraising exceeded the trip cost, a refund cheque will be issued by mid June.  If you have not received information about the amount you have owing for the trip, please contact Evolve Tours.

Language : Our speeches are underway!  The speeches have been interesting, and quite well done! We will finish speeches this week. Next week, we will begin argumentative writing. We have started this unit, by examining a "hot or controversial"  topic, choosing a side of the topic, and then using evidence to support that particular side.

Math : we are finishing our algebra unit. Today and tomorrow will be finish up periods. There will be a short quiz on Tuesday.  Beginning on Wednesday, we will be focusing on fractions, decimals, percents, rate, and ratio.

Art : we are still working our way through our Claus Oldenberg POP ART.  The projects are coming along quite well.

Phys-ed : track is finished, so we move on to ultimate frisbee and football.

Geography : Population Pyramid assignments are due by Friday. Next week, we will be studying various forms of government and their characteristics, and we will also be looking a the three levels of industry.
