Nov.23-30

Dear parents,

I trust you received the report cards Friday.  I am looking forward to meeting with you in the next couple of days to review the things your child has been doing in school together. We have been busy posting their work on a computer program called Fresh Grade for you to see.

This week at school:
Bible - Students learned about Esau and Jacob, and the Beatitudes
Math - We are finishing up a unit on Fractions and Percent
ELA - We are half way done reading The Giver.  The students have been busy working on various assignments.
Science - We will be doing a few experiments this week testing viscosity. Some students were asked to bring some fluids in to test.

This week we will also start practicing for our Christmas play.  Students will be required to bring their lines home to memorize them.

Going forward, I will have the room open at lunch one day a week so the kids can do crafts such as scarf making, or help make bookmarks as a fundraiser.

Just a reminder that Shops is this Monday and they will be starting the cooking unit.

Hope you enjoy your week.

Mrs. Bonita Reimer

Week of November 16

Dear Parents,

I hope you had a great weekend and a relaxing break from school. 

Monday (tomorrow) is We Day and the students need to be at school early.  

There will be no shops this week, as the next one is Monday, November 23rd. Please take note of the Santa Claus Breakfast on Saturday - it looks like it will be a lot of fun!

Math - Students will be learning about fractions, decimals, and percent.

ELA - Students will continue working on the novel study "The Giver".

Science - We have started our next unit on Fluids and will be doing a few experiments on density.

Bible - Our chapel theme this week is The Robe of Righteousness.

I am happy with how the students are putting in a solid effort in the classroom.  As the second term begins I will expect that the students continue to give their best in their studies.  My expectations will be greater in term two and there may be a bit more homework.  

Thank you for all the support you provide.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Reimer

November 8th
Dear Parents

I am happy to announce a successful 1st term is almost complete and I have had a great time spending time teaching and learning with your children.  We had a fun time eating, carving pumpkins, dancing, and making mummies during our Halloween party last Friday.  We also listened to classmates share  powerpoint presentations on a variety of diseases.  Make sure you have your child show you what they did, I was so impressed.

Permission slips went home for We Day, and Rate and Review, please send them back on Monday.

This week at school we will have a Remembrance Day Chapel starting just before 11:00 on Tuesday, please feel free to join us. There will be no school Wednesday, Thursday or Friday. The next Shops class is on November 23rd.

Math - Grade 7 & 8 will be learning about fractions, decimals and percents
ELA- Students will continue reading The Giver
Science- We are starting the next unit on Fluid

Have a great week
Mrs. Bonita Reimer
