It is September again, and we are back at school ready for some fun and hard work. I hope every one had a great summer break and is rested and rejuvenated for the 2019-2020 school year.<br />
<br />
The grade 8 class is getting settled into routines again. We do our spelling every Monday, with a pretest followed by the work assignment, which is always due Thursday. We are also beginning the year with a Novel, the class is listening to and responding in a personal journal to the book "Silverwing" by Kenneth Oppel. We will soon start our T.U.S.C. program. Students will research and present a short presentation on a variety of topics.<br />
<br />
We are exploring the concept of Worldview in social studies, and have begun a unit in French about fast food and food choices.<br />
