Welcome Back to School!<br />
<br />
Are you nervous? I am! In fact, I had a dream (or was it a nightmare) that it was my first day back to school and students were due to arrive in a week, however students started showing up that same day. There was confusion and pandemonium exuding from the hallways! I am glad it was only a dream/nightmare!<br />
<br />
There is no doubt that many feelings are experienced during the first week back. Many of us are anxious, nervous, sleepless, excited, have doubt, fear, wonder about the unknown or all of these emotions combined. I am looking forward to getting to know you and learning all about you and in that way we will soon be back into a routine. We are going to have a great year working together! <br />
<br />
Kid President always has some positive words of wisdom. I shared this post last year and would like to share it again this year. Enjoy!<br />

We have been integrating Art with Language Arts, Social and Math.<br />
<br />
Students read the novel, Freak The Mighty and learned that Kevin has a vast vocabulary. He used the word sobriquet in the book to indicate a Nick Name for both Kevin and Max; thus Freak The Mighty! Students either came up with a nick name or used the nick name they already have to create Graffiti Art.<br />
We examined types of lettering and students practiced outlining their name before moving onto the larger sheet of paper. Some students preferred using water colours while others enjoyed using chalk or oil pastels. Whatever the medium, the results were fabulous.<br />

In Social Studies, students have been learning about the Great Era of Peace in Japan during the 1600's and how they moved from a country in isolation to a country of adaptation. Students learned how to write their name in Japanese using a Japanese name converter. They also included a Japanese image such as a cherry tree in blossom, the geography of Japan or other symbol of Japan. </div>

In Math, we have just finished up learning how to find the surface area of rectangular prisms, cubes, triangular prisms and cylinders. To integrate art with math, students are planning and creating miniature cities. Below are a few pictures of the cities in progress.</div>

We did have a busy December with the band concert, the field trip to the Museum of Regiments, a Winter Masquerade Dance and delivering food to Santa's Anonymous that was collected from the Dance and the Hopes and Dreams campaign. We also had our Carol sing and Ugly Sweater Day! Many of your kids also helped with the candy cane grams during that last week of school in December. We sold 2005 candy canes! Half of the proceeds went to Santa's Anonymous and the other half to the Me to We Club. <br />

Many of your kids were involved with the Dance Committee did an excellent job of advertising, making decorations and transforming the gym into a Winter Wonderland! Thanks to the committee for all of your work to make the dance so successful!<br />
We have a busy and exciting month ahead with preparing for and delivering speeches on a topic of their choice. The speeches will be 2-5 minutes long and of the student's choice. We have discussed using props or visuals to enhance their speech. We also have a guest speaker who will be teaching the students about vocal clarity.<br />
Students are also engaged and focused on reading their books and preparing their project called, "A Book in a Container".<br />
Students will also be preparing a midterm project based on the Renaissance. <br />
We are also very excited about our upcoming ski trip in early February. Watch for permission forms to be coming home soon. <br />

<br />
We have had many highlights for the month of October which included numerous cross country events, Middle school volleyball, the Terry Fox Run, Km club wrap up, two Author visits and a field trip to view The Giver! In between all of these events, students have also been working hard on completing curriculum! <br />
<br />
Report cards will be going home on November 5. Students will be sharing some of their work in their portfolios which will be sent home with the report card. Please go through the portfolio and the report cards together. Parent, Teacher, Student interviews will be taking place November 18, 19 and 20th. Watch for these forms to be sent home after the Fall Break.<br />
<br />
Highlights!!<br />
<br />
Language Arts<br />
Students have been using writing tools to outline and create a persuasive essay. Parents, your kids are going to share their persuasive essays with you in their portfolios. Please give them some positive feedback on their essays. The kids have also worked to publish three journal entries to add to their portfolio.<br />
<br />
We are working towards completing a book talk for the middle of November. Students are reading their own books and are going to share with the class, a hook, the content and a cliff hanger. The key is leaving the audience with wanting more so that they will want to read the book. <br />
<br />
Students will be reading the dystopian novel called The Giver! <br />
<br />
Students are continuing to enjoy the read aloud of Wonder by RJ Palacio.<br />

students choose a topic from the list of 100 items that they came up with. The
goal is for students to write continuously for 10 minutes even if they have
writers block. They can say, “I am not

<br />
The first week of school can be filled with anxious moments and nightmares. Even teachers have these feelings. But there is the excitment and desire to learn and push us to expand our horizons that outweigh those scary moments.<br />
I am extremely excited to be able to teach Grade 8 this year. I am looking forward to learning about you and your interests. Every year is filled with anticipation <br />
<br />
The goal of this blog is to keep you and your parents informed of our learning moments and up to date on the many events we have going on in our school. This platform is a new one for me and I am expanding my learning by experimenting with this class blog site. <br />
<br />
It is also a goal of mine to have you blog about your learning and relfect on it. <br />
<br />
I know we are going to have a fantastic year together. <br />
<br />
Watch and listen to this Pep Talk from Kid President!<br />
