Happening This Week (Sept. 25-29)

With temperatures like this, it's hard to believe we are heading into the last week of September! I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the sunshine this weekend.

Looking forward to reviewing our Multiples SWYK on Monday and Tuesday. We will explore what "mastery" looks like, and work on our math communication skills. This week we will also be continuing to explore factors and will be looking at primes and composites. We will most likely be finishing out the week with another SWYK. Don't forget extra math help is available at lunch Monday-Thursday, as posted throughout the hallways.

In Phys. Ed. we will be indoors honing our basketball skills, and in history I look forward to receiving your "Why Study History?" advertisements, that are due at the start of class on Weds.

Please remember our very important Terry Fox fundraiser as we head into the week. This cause is so important and it is one that touches each of us in some way, as you saw during last week's assembly. You can bring in your pledge sheets and money each morning to be added to our school total!

Important Dates:

Wednesday October 4th: Terry Fox Run and BBQ. Stay tuned for some exciting entertainment announcements!

Thursday October 5th: Opening Liturgy

Friday October 6th: Pd Day :)

Monday October 9th: Happy Thanksgiving!

Tuesday October 17th: School Photo Re-Take Day

Have a great week!
Ms. D

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 cla

Welcome!

What an exciting week it has been getting ready to begin the 2017/2018 school year! I had the pleasure of meeting many of you at our Trinity Nation Orientation Day on Monday. Many of you had the opportunity to set up your lockers and tour around the school to have a peek at some of your classrooms. If you were unable to join us, not to worry! We will spend plenty of time getting used to our new surroundings on Tuesday. I teach grade 7 math, physical and health education, and social studies. This will be my 14th year teaching, and my 8th at Holy Trinity. I love this school and am optimistic that you will too! You will receive plenty of information about the many opportunities you will have to get involved in your school community this year. So what do you need? The school provides essential materials for learning, but it is important that you have the following items with you each day: pencils, pens, a calculator, a dry erase marker, and your notebook or binder for each class.

Happening This Week (October 10 - 13)

Happy Thanksgiving to all! I hope everyone is taking time to be with friends and family. I am extremely grateful for the many blessings I have in my life, including the opportunities that I have to teach and spend time with such a special group of students. Last week was short but exciting. Homeroom 7-9 did an amazing job of fundraising for our Terry Fox Run/Walk. We will be recognizing their effort during homeroom this week ;) In spite of the rain, we ran and walked almost 10km! We then enjoyed a bbq and some pretty fantastic entertainment by our peers and even our teachers! This week will be another short but busy one. In math we will be continuing to explore square roots and perfect squares, and will have an opportunity to show what we know on Thursday. We will be getting our Factors SWYK back on Monday, and bringing them home to be signed by mom or dad. In History we will be exploring some key events in early Canada, and looking at how different groups of people, as well as na
