For the month of October, we will be focussing on the character trait of Co-operation. The dictionary defines co-operation as, the process of working together to the same end.” Please keep that in mind when working with your peers, your teachers, your school administrators! Co-operation benefits everyone! 🙂

Our learning skill this term is Initiative. Initiative–the power or opportunity to act or take charge before others do! The power of ONE person can truly be amazing!

We have just started our Math unit on Data Management. We will be looking at data and finding trends as well as taking our own surveys!

QSP starts this week–help your school out with a magazine order!

A reminder that PICTURE DAY is on FRIDAY

In History, we are learning about Canada–>Pre Conferderation, soon we will be discussing which colonies wanted to join confederation, which did not and why. In Science, we have begun our study of cells of plants and animals.

Welcome to Grade 8! It has been an exciting few days getting to know the students in the class and familiarizing myself with Tecumseth South.

The last two days we have been focussing on learning skills by participating in acitivities that help us remember the expectations we need to be successful in grade 8. There has been a lot of discussion about perseverance as well as the character traits we will need to display to have a fantastic last year at TSO.

We are beginning our Number Sense unit in math, focussing on exponents and place value. In Language, we have started reading short stories and reviewing concepts taught last year.

As you drop by on “Meet the Teacher” on the 25th, be sure to drop by the classroom to see your child’s artwork displayed in the hallway!

There is so much to talk about, I wish it all fit here on the blog! Check back with our class blog often….there’s always something exciting going on in Grade 8!
