Dear Families,
Everyone has Social homework to do. All parts are due Friday Sept. 24th. Each student was given a package about the flood in Pakistan. Students are responsible for reading the article, answering questions, going on-line to answer questions about the Red Cross (this should already be completed) and finally filling in a map. In order to fill in the map – students may require access to the internet or a detailed atlas. Maps can be found by searching on Google images – large map of Pakistan. I have gone through this with the students so there shouldn’t be any confusion – but you never know.
*Reminder Picture Day is tomorrow – so practice your smiles!*

Dear Families,
Well, the grade 8s all survived our canoeing trip and only one of us got wet – not bad for our first real adventure. I will be posting some of the photos shortly. I think everyone really enjoyed themselves.
The grade 7s don’t have any homework tonight, they do however have a Math test tomorrow.
As for the 8s, they have 1 question in Math that should not take them too long to answer. They have their first Math Test on Friday the 24th.
We will be having our Terry Fox Walk on the 30th. The students will be collecting money for Cancer Research. As always we appreciate your support but there is no expectation to donate.

This week has just flown by. There is no homework this weekend – but there is a Phys. Ed. Test on Monday and the 7s have their first Math test on Tuesday so there should be some studying happening. Now that Bieber mania has passed we will get back to a normal routine. Have a great weekend!

Dear Families,
We are mid-month and all is well in 7/8C. Tonight's homework is one math sheet both sides - for both 7 and 8s. Grade 8s on Monday will be going canoeing. The water might be a little chilly but hopefully none of us will be taking a dip. Please bring a wool sweater that you don't mind getting wet in -just in case. Wool is the best fabric (apart from a wet/dry suit) because it stays warm even when wet. For all of you concert goers, enjoy your time at the Bieber concert!

Dear Families,
Majority of the students should have some ELA questions for homework tonight. A few of the 8s will also have math for homework. If the students do not complete their homework a letter will be sent home and if it is not signed and returned, I will be contacting you personally so that none of the students fall behind. The 7s have their first math test Tuesday the 21st. The 8s will be having their first math test the following week. All tests will be sent home and must be signed and returned. Just a reminder that tomorrow is the last day to order a hot lunch through SubWay.

It was an absolute pleasure to bring the grade 7/8s to the opening ceremony of the bike path. The event went off without a hitch and the students exceeded my expectations. You can watch the event on Access Television when it is aired. It turned out to be a perfect day to go for a ride.
As for homework this weekend the 7s and 8s might have some health questions (although most of the students were able to finish all of the questions during class). They should all have some ELA that is due Monday. They have comprehension questions for Ch. 1 and must also read Ch. 2 and write 5 connections that they found while reading. This task should not be difficult for the students as they have experience making connections during class and with the previous chapter.
In terms of homework I have adopted a new consequence for not completing homework. The ‘pink slip’ (it is printed on pink paper) will be filled out by the student and taken home to be discussed with you and signed. I will attach a copy of the sheet to the blog.
You should have received two handouts today both pertaining to pictures (our day got switched. If you could return the permission forms for Noon Hour, Technology Access and PAA permission that would be much appreciated.
