Media/Oral Presentation Success Criteria

So long March!!

As we say farwell to March we start to realize that we are quickly approaching the last part of the year. I am still in need of several baby pictures for the slideshow. The sooner those come in the better. Also, just a reminder that trip money is due on Friday April 4. 

Upcoming dates:

Trip - June 5

Grad - June 19

Grad pictures have been taken and we now await the return of the proofs. Those who ordered composites will receive them at the end of June. Everyone looked wonderful!!

We began a Geometry Unit today where we will study the properties of angles to try and solve for missing angle values.  In language the students continue to work on their independent reading programs and they are finishing up their Media/Oral Presentations that will begin on Thursday. Encourage them to practice at home whenever possible. History continues with the Development of Western Canada.

Olympic Fever in 8R

We've had the opportunity to enjoy some Olympic fun this week. The Grade 8 students have done a wonderful job. They were responsible for running the events at our Olympic Day on Wednesday and did a wonderful job. Yesterday we watched the amazing come back of the Canadian Women's Hockey Team against the USA. We will be taking a look at some articles today that discuss the Women's dynasty and the anticipation for the Men's game this weekend.
