Debates

As part of our unit on persuasive text we will be staging mini in-class debates.

Your debate planner is due on Tuesday, Feb. 10.

Debates will start on Thursday, Feb. 12.

Skating

As part of our DPA program, R8C will be skating on the rink in the school yard each Friday leading up to March Break. We're on again this Friday, so bring your skates and helmet.

We're also looking for size 9 skates for three students in our class. If you have a spare pair you can share for an afternoon, it would greatly appreciated.

 Who's going to be "it" this week?

Report Cards

Yes, it's that time of year again! Term 1 report cards were sent home today. Please return the bottom section of page 3.

SRB Forms

Course contracts for SRB are due January 23!

R8C Field Trip

R8C is going cross-country skiing on Thursday.  Please check your email for details.

Forms and payment need to be handed in by Wednesday.

Here's a copy of the field trip form: Skiing Field Trip

  Last year's class; no pressure, though...

Booktalks

We originally had planned to get these done before the break, but the Tool Time procedural videos took up all of our time.  So here we go...

• EMF8B starts Jan. 7
• R8C starts Jan. 12

For details, see the English tab above.

Can you spot Mr. Gitter?

Welcome Back!

Happy New Year, everybody!  I hope you all enjoyed a peaceful, healthy and relaxing break.

We're now back in the swing of things.  We've moved on to our next unit in math, which is Patterning and Algebra.  In English we have already jumped into our next textform, which is persuasive texts.

And to top things off, it's basketball season at Greenbank!
