St. Gerard School - Grade 8

After a wonderful summer full of rest and relaxation, we are all back at school and ready to learn.

 Welcome back!

Grade eight students have received immunization consent forms to take home and have signed. Please ask your child about the forms if you have not yet received them. The office has requested that the forms be returned by Wednesday, September 10^th.

We have begun to read our first novel of the year. The grade eight class is listening to “A Company of Fools” by Deborah Ellis and keeping a listening journal. We have also begun our grammar and spelling programs.

We are working on a unit about fast food in French, and have begun a mini-unit on the concept of worldview in social studies.

Our annual “Meet the Teacher” night will be held this Thursday, September 11^th, starting at 6:30 pm in the school gym. There will also be a used uniform sale in the gym, beginning at 6:15 pm.
