A great day in Grade 7/8

Wow! What a great start to the rest of the year.  We had a community circle today in class that was used to encourage community building and ensuring everyone feels like a part of the class. 

As a teacher, I was able to find out a little more about my new students.

A few of our favourite things included: Sports, Xbox, Piano, Acro, Sleeping, Cottages, and Friends (to name a few)!

Tomorrow we will be looking closer at our Fairy Tales.  Most of the class seems to be working on their story skeleton and moving onto the pre-writing phase.  I will be reading an original Fairy Tale tomorrow and going over the traits that I will be looking for in their culminating task. 

In History, we will be doing a review of the content covered so far.  We will be answering questions and looking in depth at the discovery of New France.  This will help with upcoming assessments for History.
