The Week of November 2, 2014

Here in grade 8 at Sagonaska we had a great week. We learned how to multiply all sorts of fractions (fractions x whole numbers, fractions x mixed numbers and mixed numbers x mixed numbers) and we are becoming fraction ninjas! Next week we are going to wrap up our first geography unit, and we will be having an assessment in mathematics to celebrate how far we have come.

     We celebrated Remembrance Day with a short media presentation  that we produced with Mr. Hayes and the grade sixes. The presentation does a great job of illustrating student learning of World War 1 and the effects it had on Canada as a growing nation. 

Some of the second year students joined in on reading buddies with OMNI. our little buddies had a great time reading and learning about the importance of encouragement. We always look forward to reading with our "little friends" down the hall!

Haley is the recipient for the Terrific Kids Award for November - encouragement! Congratulations Haley!

I am currently in the middle of writing student progress reports which will be going home next week!
