AARGH! Too many students with incomplete work today. Please check agendas and also check that work is being done in the evenings.
Today we worked on ology word lists for our word study.
I continued to read the Roald Dahl book "The Witches" to the class. We then finished up our percent unit with simple interest activities. Tomorrow in math we start fractions.
Students also worked in their Book Club groups, discussing plots, characters, etc.
Permission letters were sent home for the Post Secondary trip to polytech next week.
Reminder that Monday is a PD day- no school.
November 6th - McKinnon Park evening parent info. session.
See you in the a.m.

Finally, Mrs. Martin is up and running a blog again. Let's keep our fingers crossed!
Math- We have finished rates, ratio, algebra, 3-d geometry and number theory. We are currently finishing up percents.
Novel Study- Students are continuing with Crash novel- This will mainly be finished through ISU (independent study units) that are completed at home.
MS Readathon- All students in the 8-2 class are in a book club. Reading minutes will be put toward the MS Readathon. Hopefully students will get a few or a lot or sponsors. REMEMBER: $20 or more and you get a special dance, prizes and perhaps a pizza party for our class and BLONDE HAIR for Mr. R.G. ( probably a secret wish of his?) Do blondes have more fun?
Writing- Hallowe'en story boards for our Children's Book is being worked on. Bring in a CEREAL BOX for the hard cover. Thanks to Dwight for the extras.
Book orders due to Mr. Hickey.
Please have a look at the school blog for more special activities.
