First Week of 2014 at JMS

Hope that you had a wonderful holiday...now back to work ;-)

Many of you will be wondering who is teaching your French, English and P.E. class. This week Mr. Horner, a regular Teacher On Call with our school and someone you all know well, will be teaching those classes until the successful candidate gets the position. There were a lot of teachers eager to fill the position and this is no surprise to me because who wouldn't want to teach you adorable little grade 8s (Okay, you are not little and tower over me, don't remind me). Bottom line is that the administration is really looking for the best candidate for the job. Only the best for the best. I will keep you all posted on this as I find out new information.

This week:

Math: a review of fractions including adding and subtracting fractions (There will be a test Friday)

Science: Body Systems Introduction (and we will check in on our Bacteria buddies)

Social Studies: Third and last Journal Entry (Due this Friday with class time provided) - We will look at some political history from the time. We have been focusing on Social History through our role play.
