It’s hard to believe that February came and went so quickly and I did not post on the blog once! My apologies!

Today you registered for High School at Banting, make sure to take home your course selection sheets!

We are now well on our way into term 2! We have started our LAST history unit, talking about the changes in Canada from 1889-1911, who the changes affected and what chagnes there were!

In Science, we are learing about Fluids. We will be talking about vocabulary such as: bouyancy and viscosity as well as discussioning Particle Theory.

We are working on Number Sense and Numeration in Math. We are solving problems using percents. We can now find sales tax, and calculate increases and decreases in prices 🙂

In Language, we have just finished our novel study on The Outsiders, by S. E. Hinton. We will be writing CASI in March as well as working on persausive writing for debates.

Our Human Growth and Development unit will begin in March as well as our Dance unit in Phys. Ed.

So as you can see, there is a  lot going on in Grade 8! So “Laisser les bons temps rouler!” Let the good times roll.

Please remember to you can contact me anytime at tripley@scdsb.on.ca

Countdown to spring is on: 23 Days! 🙂
