Happy February, everyone!

We are beginning our study of Ancient Greece in social studies.

We have begun working on writing poetry, the grade eight students are already producing ten haiku and five Limericks, with many more forms of poetry to come.

In French class we are working on a unit about job and career options.

Winter camp is coming up next week. The grade sevens and eights will be off to Winkler Bible Camp for three days of fun and fellowship.

Hello everyone! 

The grade eight class is preparing for their mid-term exams from January 21^st to the 24^th. They will write ELA Tuesday, followed by science on Wednesday, history on Thursday, and they will finish up with Math on Friday.

Winter Camp is fast approaching. The Grade seven and eight classes will travel to Winkler on Wednesday February 19^th and return to school on Friday the 21^st. We are looking for a mom and a dad to volunteer to join us for fun and adventure.

We have just begun our new novel in ELA. We are reading “Freak the Mighty” by Rodman Philbrick. Students will complete a novel study called “SKOOB,” which includes various activities to extend their understanding of the story.

We are also about to begin a unit about Ancient Greece in social studies.
