September 17th


Beach Day is coming up this Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Get your forms in.

Academic Notes:

Advisory: Mrs Wilkie, our new counsellor, came and talked to the class. The discussion revolved around our fright or flight response and how it can interfere with doing our best at school and work. Mrs Wilkie had a lot of great strategies for dealing with this pesky prehistoric part of our brains.

Block 1: S.S. Div 2 - We reviewed what Primary and Secondary Sources of information are. You looked into the pros and the cons of each information source.

Block 2: English Div 2 - We read for 20 minutes. Then, we discussed the genre of historical fiction because this class is going to revolve around activities that spin out of Social Studies.

Block 3: English Div 5 - We responded to a text that wrote about Facebook's plans to introduce a "dislike" post.

Block 4: Art Div 5 - We completed Mandala's and started a hand art piece.

Block 5: Grade 8 Teambuilding

Today's word is: "nemesis"
