Tuesday!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend! It certainly was beautiful out!

This week in 8D :

We have nearly finished the geometry and spacial sense unit  only the culminating activity remains. Unit tests will be marked and returned soon. The kids will be starting their number sense and numerations unit with a few lessons on factors, multiples, prime and composite numbers.

In language, we will be doing a class novel study. We will be reading End of Days by Eric Walters. All kinds of activities pertaining to the novel will keep the kids engaged as we work our way through the novel. We have also begun our rotations. I will be working with small groups in a shared reading environment, there will be a current events rotation, a math-related activity, a mapping activity related to history, and a novel study chapter summary writing activity.

In history, we are nearly finished A Profound Moment in Time presentations. After they are complete, we will be looking at the Fathers of Confederation and what part they played in the Confederation of Canada.

In phys-ed we are playing "sockey" and will begin fitness rotations soon.

School hockey starts tomorrow night at Centre 2000 from 4pm-5pm.

I think that's it for now:)

Take care,

Miss Waddell
