Weekly Update!


Well, I have double booked!! I am to be at a conference on Thursday, October 24th and I have booked our Gr. 8 Stream Study that day! Oops! I have contacted Ecospark's Holly Brose, who organizes our trips to the river, and hopefully we can reschedule. I will keep you updated!

7/8A Language Arts: This week, you will make sure you have these three things finished and handed in to me: 
1. Your first writing piece - go through the complete writing process, including teacher conferencing, and submit to me your writing piece.

3. Tribes List:  By the end of this week, I would like you to submit to me, on a cue card I will give to you, the names of 6 people in the class you feel you could work well with. Our tribes will be formed by the beginning of next week.
