Integers Project

Hello. Here is the Integers Project for Chapter 8. Students will be given 2 days of class time in which to work on this project. Should they need more time, then they can complete their assignment at home. I will show them how to do the math component behind the research. The goal of this project is to satisfy a PLO, while finding mostly realistic situations in which they would face integers in a context that is completely removed from school and accounting.

Job Action

February 29, 2012 by · No Comments · Uncategorized

Hello all. Just a quick heads-up. Should there be job action, in which students do not attend classes, we will proceed with the Math test schedule regardless, and students will need to review their work at home. The next math test is Friday March 9. We begin chapter 4 today. If job action should happen on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of next week, then the test will remain for Friday March 9th. Due to the size of the curriculum and the number of instructional hours, we are proceeding at the rate of approximately one chapter every 5/6 days. As such, there is no time to ‘push back’ the tests due to any job action. If any changes are to happen, I will notify you through this web site.

Thank you.

Final Exam – Science

January 16, 2012 by · No Comments · Uncategorized

English Science 8 exam will be on Friday January 27th. French Science 8 exam will be on Thursday January 26th.
Students will have a practice final exam on the Tuesday, and we will review the practice final on the Wednesday.
Also, I will be collecting Science textbooks after the final exam, so any students who have a textbook at home, should bring it back to school sooner than later.
Finally, the hair event at the high school was cancelled, and has been moved to this Thursday, first thing in the morning. If you are not keen on having your child participate, then they can stay at school and work on their Science review package, or be excused.
