Happening This Week (September 18-22)

It was so nice to meet so many of you this past Thursday! I am lucky to have students that have such enthusiastic and supportive parents! If you were unable to make it, no problem, ask your son/daughter to pick you up a Tips For Success handout.

Last week we had our first Show What You Know on Friday. Students will receive these back and bring them home to be signed this week.

This week we will be exploring the Rules of Divisibility and using them to determine the factors and GCF's of numbers. Check out some of the new additions to our Number Sense Workspace. We will have some Check-Ins along the way, but no summative assessments until the following week.

As we will be using our Workspaces on a regular basis, it is important for students to bring their laptops or chromebooks to each class. We do have a few in the classroom that students can borrow, but there are definitely not enough to go around. The students are allowed to bring them to their lockers at the end of each class. They will continue to use them for their 6 years at Holy Trinity, so it is a really good investment for your middle schooler!

Important Dates:

Tuesday September 19: Terry Fox Assembly
Thursday September 21: School Photo Day
Wednesday October 4: Terry Fox Run and BBQ (this is a new date)
Thursday October 5: Opening Liturgy
Friday October 6: PD Day!
Monday October 9: Happy Thanksgiving! No School!
Tuesday October 17: School Photo Re-Take Day

Have a great week!

Happening This Week (November 13-17)

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the beautiful weather yesterday. On Friday we had a chance to honour those that have served our country during our Remembrance Day Assembly. Some wonderful Tableaus were presented by our very own friends in Gr.7/8 drama. We also had a very busy week exploring quadrilaterals and the Cartesian Coordinate plane. We had our SWYK today, and will be looking at congruence and similarity as the week progresses. On Friday we will be having a SWYK on congruence and similarity. Please make use of the numerous resources available in your Workspace for extra practice and re-enforcement! In Phys Ed this week we will be doing a combination of GLO's and trying out ringette. We had a great week of Table Tennis last week. Hopefully some of you touched base with Mr. Ferguson today about trying out for our team! In History we continued to look at early relationships between the English, French, and First Nations in Eastern Canada. We will ha...

Happening This Week! (October 2 - 6)

We have a short but busy week ahead! We continue to collect money for the Terry Fox Run which takes place this coming Wednesday! The forecast is looking perfect for a day of celebration, starting with a run/walk through the neighbourhood, and finishing with a bbq and plenty of entertainment! In math this week we will be exploring square roots and perfect squares. Check out your Workspace for videos and games that you can preview starting today. All activities are light blue. In phys. ed we will be heading outside for the week to learn Flag Rugby. Bring a sweater for these chilly Fall mornings. We won't have any history classes this week due to the Terry Fox Run on Wednesday and the PA Day on Friday. Thank-you for your participating in honouring every child by wearing Orange on Friday. If you have not handed in your hand, you can do that any day this week. Looking forward to many exciting events this week, ending with a long weekend to spend time with friends and family! ...
