Things To Do!
Here is our Room 18 list :
Things To Do List :
1. Please review your son or daughter's report card and return the tear-off portion to the school by early next week. If you wish to discuss the report card, please contact me at the school.
2. Blue skating permission forms went home today. We are going skating on Thursday afternoon ( periods 5 and 6), and the cost is $2. Please sign the blue form - reading the "helmet" portion of the form carefully! Helmets are to be worn unless you give permission for your son or daughter to go skating without one. Any parents interested in coming with us are more than welcome!
3. History presentations are beginning tomorrow. Each student knows what they are responsible for.
4. Infographic culminating math activities are due on the 19th of February. The kids chose this as their due day - and this gives them quite a substantial amount of time to complete this assignment.
5. Pictures for art need to be at school tomorrow, in order for the kids to start their Pointillism paintings.
6. In language, the kids should be finished their "Making an Impact" organizers by the end of the week. They will have a chunk of class time to work on these this week.
7. TRIP REGISTRATIONS AND FIRST INSTALLMENTS ARE DUE FEBRUARY 15TH. Packages went home a month ago with all pertinent information. If you have any questions - let me know!
Take care,
Miss Waddell

Snowy Week!
It's been another wintery week at EPS!
We started the week with some REALLY good oral book reports! The kids have chosen some amazing books to read, and the way they have been presented to the class demonstrates how much they enjoyed their reading material. There are a few more kids presenting tomorrow and Monday.
Our other language activities have included a lot of Olympic material. As the winter Olympics begin in Sochi, Russia, we will be following our athletes on Team Canada over the next few weeks.
In math, the kids are working on their culminating activities in Data Management. The activity is to create an infographic on a topic or theme of their choice. Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics present complex information quickly and clearly. The devices include charts, diagrams, graphs, maps and lists. Each student has been given an outline of the expectations for their infographics, and things are coming along well. Due dates for final assignments will be determined next week.
History is wrapping up! We are working our way through the Canada at the Turn of the Century. Once we are finished, we start out geography unit. More info on our geography unit in the weeks to come!
In phys-ed we are starting badminton, and continuing with our fitness rotations. School basketball teams have been picked and the tournament is on February 20th at the University of Guelph. Permission forms will be sent home by the coaches soon.
Our hockey team has its tournament coming up in March - details will follow soon.
Report cards go out today! The kids and I will go over everything regarding each page of the report. They have also filled in their own "Learning Skills" portion of the report that will come home as well. This is a snap-shot of their own thoughts on their own learning skills. Please review the reports with your son or daughter, and complete the parent portion to be returned to school. If you have any questions about the report, or if you wish to speak to me- please feel free to contact me at the school.

Book Reports!
We need a little bit more time to finish our Language Rotations, so book report presentations have been moved forward one day. Presentations start tomorrow. The kids have known their order since we picked names last week. Looking forward to hearing the reports :)

Thursday!
It's been another busy week in Room 18!
Here's the scoop :
In language we are back to Language Rotations. The kids are reading, writing and investigating the Winter Olympics in Sochi. One of the projects were are working is "Destination Sochi". The kids are working in groups or three, and have officially become travel agents. Their task is to plan an all-inclusive trip to Sochi, Russia. The trip has to include "the entire package" : travel tickets, accommodation, Olympic events, transportation to and from events, cultural activities, etc. The final activity is to produce a video or presentation highlighting the trip that they have organized for their clients.
Book reports presentations begin next week. The kids were randomly chosen today - the kids now know what day next week they will be presenting. The book report outline was handed out the first day back after winter break, so the kids should be ready to present their books.
In math, we are winding up our Data Management unit. The kids have a few more activities to complete, and a culminating activity will be handed out early next week. NO quizzes or tests in this unit - just a culminating activity to prove their knowledge of the unit.
In art, we are working on a Pointillism activity. This involves using tiny dots that will produce a bigger picture. The kids have been asked to bring in a picture that they want to reproduce using the pointillism technique.
In phys-ed we are dancing, playing badminton, floor hockey, and fitness. School badminton try-outs are still taking place, and final cuts will be made by the end of next week.
Information packages for the grade 8 trip went home last week. Registration and payments are sent directly to Evolve Tours. If you have any questions regarding the trip, please let me know.
Report cards go home on the 6th of February.
Take care,
Miss Waddell

This week!
Hopefully this week, we will have a full five days at school!
There is so much going on in room 18!
Here we go.....
In math, we continue with our Data Management unit.....one page of homework went home on Friday to complete for Monday.
In language, we are doing "all things Olympics"! In our Language rotations this week, we are travelling to Sochi, Russia for the games. The kids are planning a virtual trip for the weeks of the winter Olympics, we are learning about the culture and traditions of the people of Russia.... the list goes on.
The "Making an Impact" writing assignment is still in its early stages - organizers will be completed this week, and by next week the kids should be on their rough copies.
The trial of Louis Riel went very well last week, and we will be wrapping up history this week, and moving on to geography next week.
In phys-ed we are focusing on fitness and dance - which has been quite interesting! The kids have been participating quite well in both activities.
Green grade 8 trip packages were handed out to the kids last week. Please read through everything with your son or daughter , as there is important information that you need to be aware of for registration purposes. If you have ANY questions regarding the trip - please let me know.
Course selection sheets have been completed and if the kids ( or parents ) are wanting to make any changes, now is the time. I will be collecting and submitting all forms this week.
Have a great start to the week!

Another Week!
Here are a few updates for this week :)
On Thursday, we are heading to the seniors program at the high school - 12:15 - 1:00 pm. We are looking forward to playing some games...
College Heights Secondary School is at Erin P.S. today to present and promote their school to the kids.
Next Tuesday, Erin District H. S. is coming over to talk to the kids about course selection as well.
We are definitely getting the kids ready for grade nine! Their course selection sheets are due back into school by tomorrow. I will be sending them BACK home for your FINAL look over - as all teachers have completed their recommendations for course levels (applied or academic). They are due back next WEDNESDAY. The course selection sheets are submitted to the high school next week. If you have ANY questions - please contact me at the school.
Last but not least : Book Reports are to be presented the first week of February. All of the students have been given an outline - with expectations and a rubric - and we will be randomly picking out of a hat, those students that will be presenting first.
I think that's it for now :)

Happy New Year!
Many things are going to be happening in 2014!
New units in almost every subject in Room 18....
Let's get started :
In language :
We are going to be looking at people that have had a positive impact in the world. Young, old, famous and infamous... We will be discussing how a person contributes to their community and to the world in a positive manner, and how particular people have made such an amazing impact on our earth. What is it that drives a person to give their time/money/knowledge to the world and how do they do this POSITIVELY. How can we contribute to our community in a positive manner, and be good citizens.....????? The kids will be researching a person of their choice, developing a biography of that person, and then putting together a drama presentation about the person they have chosen. We will also be looking at inventions that have changed the world in a positive way.... and young people who are developing inventions that could have an amazing impact on our world.
Culminating activities for our novel studies AND movie reviews are due this week.
Book reports will be discussed in class, and will be due at the end of January.
In math :
We are starting our data management unit. The focus will be on data collection, bias in that collection of data, proper surveying, exploring sample size, and displaying data in graphs and plots.
There will be segments of data collection, individual and partnered activities, seatwork, and a end-of-unit evaluation.
Patterning and Algebra quizzes will be returned tomorrow.
In history :
We will be having our trial of Louis Riel this week. Following the trial, we will move on to the industrial Revolution in Canada and Canada's participation in World War 1.
* Geography will begin in February.
In phys-ed :
We will be working on fitness and dance. The gym periods will be divided into fitness circuits for half the period, or dance for half of the period... and then "free play" for the remainder of the period.
In health :
The kids will be cooking and preparing food! They must come up with a healthy, yet easy dish to make, that most teenagers would enjoy eating. The kids will be working in partners, creating a fairly simple dish or meal, and then putting together a how-to-make video for a particular target audience. This activity implements some aspects of media studies into our health activities. Looking forward to it!
In art :
We will be looking at pointillism, which is a technique of painting in which small, distinct dots of pure colour are applied in patterns to form an image. This will be an interesting and challenging change to what the kids have been doing in art this year.
A quick reminder :
High school applications/course selection sheets aren't due until the end of January. However, if you would like to speak to me regarding any choices that you may be struggling with, or questions about particular courses, please contact me at school and we can chat.
I hope everyone had a fantastic holiday!

Well done!
The Talent Show and Bake Sale last night was AWESOME!
There were so many kids from 8D involved in both activities!
We had a great night AND raised money for East Wellington Community Services. (The money going towards the seniors program!)
A big thank you goes out to : Cameron, Sam, Anthony, Nicholas, Mark, Faith, Anna B, Jennifer, Shelby, and Vanessa. They were fantastic!
And a huge thank you to a lot of my kids in 8D for setting up AND taking down the sets!
A quick update for the rest of the week :
Here goes!
1. The Secret Santa starts on Monday. Even though a lot of kids are out of the building for the volleyball tourney and the College Heights Tour, almost everyone will get their "Secret Santa" name tomorrow. If - for whatever reason - a student can't pick their name ...plan on one "treat" for Monday. And I will make sure ALL the kids know by Monday who they have.
2. We are going to try to bake cookies on Tuesday. Please send a toonie, baking sheets, cookie cutters, bowls and spoons, by Tuesday morning. Any parents wishing to help us bake - come on in! We will start at 11:00 and hopefully bake until 12:30.
3. The intermediate dance will be periods 5 and 6 on Wednesday. In order to get into the dance, the students must bring in a non-perishable food item for our holiday drive. There will be alternate activities for students not wishing to attend the dance.
4. The kids will have a math quiz on Monday - covering some of the skills we have been covering in Patterning and Algebra.
5. Novel study literature circle tasks and chapter summaries were due on Tuesday. Culminating activities will be due the first week back in January.
6. Rough copies of Catching Fire movie reviews are due on Monday.
I think that's it for now!
Have a great weekend!

2. We are going to try to bake cookies on Tuesday. Please send a toonie, baking sheets, cookie cutters, bowls and spoons, by Tuesday morning. Any parents wishing to help us bake - come on in! We will start at 11:00 and hopefully bake until 12:30.
3. The intermediate dance will be periods 5 and 6 on Wednesday. In order to get into the dance, the students must bring in a non-perishable food item for our holiday drive. There will be alternate activities for students not wishing to attend the dance.
4. The kids will have a math quiz on Monday - covering some of the skills we have been covering in Patterning and Algebra.
5. Novel study literature circle tasks and chapter summaries were due on Tuesday. Culminating activities will be due the first week back in January.
6. Rough copies of Catching Fire movie reviews are due on Monday.
I think that's it for now!
Have a great weekend!
