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 have an assessment this Friday!

Don't forget to book your spaces for Parent-Teacher Interviews ASAP. Many teachers have few, if any, remaining spaces to meet.

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
