Good Morning!
It looks like we are going to have some summer weather back! Yeah!!!
The Grade 7/8 class is still adjusting to homework expectations in some areas. It is up to the student to write down in their agenda what is due for homework or projects and have them completed on time. In ELA and Math, if homework has not been completed we will still be proceeding in class but students will be staying in at lunch hour until their work is completed.
ELA--For Monday, and each Monday of this year, students will need to have completed their 175 minutes of home reading and have it logged for the week. They will need to have produced a minimum of four Reader Responses by Oct. 1. Book and Movie Reports have been marked and should have been brought home for signing on Thursday. They must be signed for Monday or you will be receiving a phone call home with their mark. We started an All About Me Project with outlines and specific instructions and examples. The project will be due on Fri. Oct. 1.
Religion--Students have their prayer journals assessed on Fridays. The students are supposed to come up with a verse or story that can be converted into modern day life for their Chapel Presentation on Wednesday.
Math--Grade 7s completed Unit 1-2 this week with a quiz. Grade 8s completed Unit 1-2 and most of Unit 1-3 this week. Grade 8s will have a test this coming week with the Grade 7s to follow at the end of the week or early the following week.
Science--Students are completing a crystal formation experiment at home this weekend. It does require use of a stove so please supervise that part. We will explore the rock cycle this week.
Social Studies--Students planned a trip to Zimbabwe, Africa and from Zimbabwe to a destination of their choice and back to Winnipeg. They need to complete the itinerary from their travels for Monday's class.
French--We worked on days of the week and numbers vocabulary. The students created their own calendar for the month of September.
Scholastic Book Orders have been placed and shipped today. We should receive them next week. Thanks for the orders. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough to get bonus coupons for ordering books for the classroom this order.
The students have been asked to bring home their AGENDAS on Fridays and have parents review them and then return them to me on Monday a.m. so I can check for signatures and communication. Students should be bringing home their agendas every day to make sure homework is completed. Mrs. Bemister checks agendas at the end of most days. IT IS UP TO THE STUDENT TO BRING THE AGENDA TO YOU! I am trying to teach them organization and responsibility as they need this for high school.
Compassion Canada--You should have received a letter home last week. Please bring your $1 or $10 for the year to chapel on Wednesday.
Child Find Forms are due on Monday.

Weekly Update Sept. 10
Welcome back and congratulations on finishing the first week of school! (Not a full week but a week anyway!)
The Grade 7/8 class have been busy organizing their supplies, binders, and getting used to "new" expectations. I think things have gone very well and look forward to a great year! The students will be able to bring home any extra supplies in about 2 weeks so they have more room in their desks and lockers.
The Grade 7/8s have the privilege of staying in at morning recess with me in the classroom. Most of them do not enjoy going outside and just use the time to socialize. They now can do that inside.
ELA--We have gone over the Home Reading Program and Reader Response Journals and students have started to log their time. I read the students a book and we completed a sample Reader Response. They are expected to read 175 minutes per week and have 15 minutes per day in class to complete reading or responses. We will be starting on Book and Movie Reports next week.
Religion--Students have been given agendas that include a daily scripture and devotion for them to reflect upon and write prayer.
Math--We will be starting Math next week.
Art--We created Name Cards for our lockers.
Science--We have begun o study of the Earth's crust. Next week we will study rock formation and crystal growth.
Social Studies--Played World trivia games and planned a travel route through Europe.
French--We worked on various vocabulary activities.
Scholastic Book Orders are due on Sept. 20. The students have also been asked to bring home their agendas on Fridays and have parents review them and then return them to me on Monday a.m. so I can check for signatures and communication. IT IS UP TO THE STUDENT TO BRING THE AGENDA TO YOU! I am trying to teach them organization and responsibility as they need this for high school.
Hot Lunch Orders are due Monday, Sept. 13.
Students will have their first Shop class at Nelson McIntyre on Wed. Sept. 15. They will need to be picked up there at 3:45. We have gone over expectations of walking directly there.
