Miss Waddell's Grade 8 Blog!

The kids have been quite busy this week, even though it's only Tuesday!

We have been writing and creating a bio-dome, starting our geometry unit, reading humorous tales, playing cooperative games, honing our soccer and floop-ball skills....the list goes on.

The kids have a bit of homework tonight : they need to finish the rough copy of the writing component of their bio-dome.

Parents have some homework as well!!! Please try to have your Parent Brag Sheets back to school by Friday :)

This week, all students have been on a school computer to log on to the network, and onto UGCloud.  The Cloud is a fantastic, safe, and multi-faceted program for the kids to use to complete assignments, communicate with teachers and peers, and to create projects online.  If you aren't sure what the cloud is, ask your child :)

Today, blue permission sheets outlining our trip to Island Lake next Tuesday, were sent home for you to review. Any parents interested in volunteering would be more than welcome to join us.

Also, an important message regarding Remind 101 - the communication tool/app that I will be using to remind parents of upcoming events - went home for you to look at. Please feel free to sign up at any time.

I would like to meet with all IEP students and their parents over the next two weeks, to go over the IEP and to discuss the best way to program for your son or daughter.  I will be sending a note home soon regarding the best time and date to meet.

See everyone at the Open House on Tuesday, September 23!

Take care,

Miss Waddell
