September 21
I am happy to report a great start to the school year.  Students have been very busy learning, helping around the school, and playing together.

This week we will be walking to 7-11 for a Slurpee before shops on Tuesday.  Please feel free to pick up your child at Nelson Mac at 3:45,  just let me know.  They can also walk back to the school and be picked up at 4:00.

This Week at School
Bible- We will continue reading in Genesis about Noah and the Flood.
           Our memory verse is Hebrews 11:6
Math- Students are learning about graphing and coordinates.
LA- Students will have new spelling words, compare viewpoints regarding the upcoming election, and                   complete novel study assignments.
Science- We will learn about diffusion and osmosis. At home students have a 3D cell project that will be due Oct. 2nd.

I hope everyone had a great weekend outdoors.  It was great to attend the church kickoff and to enjoy a picnic together outside.  Please feel free to attend the Love and Logic evening this Tuesday at the school.

 We made flags using coordinates 

Studying plant & animal cells

Our fist week back at school was great!

Bible- The students had daily devotions and a chance to respond in their journals.  Our memory verse this week will be Psalm 139:13-14.  In chapel two students read scripture and we started learning about our Journey with Jesus.
Math-gr.7 we practiced plotting coordinates.    gr.8 we created and studied graphs.
LA Students started reading and responding to their novel. Next week we will begin our spelling program.
Science- We learned about living and nonliving things, did an experiment and had a snack of once living things. This week we will look at cells and use a microscope.

We had a busy first week back, from unpacking supplies, labelling them, organizing our desks  and switching from summer gear into work mode. Everyone worked very hard and deserved a restful weekend.  I am looking forward to the week ahead.
Sincerely

Mrs. Reimer

Welcome! - September 8, 2015

Welcome parents and students to a new year.  I am excited to get to know everyone and to join Beautiful Saviour Lutheran School. It is my privilege to teach grade 7/8 this year and it is my intent to create a safe, healthy learning environment for the students.

During the first day of school the students will have chapel at 11:00, which parents are invited to attend. Our theme this year is "Journey with Jesus", each class will have an opportunity to respond weekly to  what is taught.  Make sure to check out the school website weekly to find out what is happening at the school. I will be sending some information home regarding the Practical Arts program that runs every day 5 of the Louis Riel School Division.  The first one will be Monday afternoon (Sept. 14th). You will also receive a note about the use of devices in the classroom.

September:
Bible - We will read and study the book of Genesis.
7 Math - We will learn how to create and find coordinates on a graph.
8 Math - We will create charts and graphs to represent gathered data.
Science - We will learn about animal and plant cells.
ELA- We will look at textual cues, how to create and follow a plan, and organize ideas.
            We will also work on reading, writing and spelling.
