Science Test

Students in all Science Classes will have a test on Thursday, October 28th.  Students have been aware of this test since last week.  This test will encompass everything we have learned so far.  All classes were given a review sheet last week to complete for class this week before the test.

Upcoming Due Dates

Greetings everyone and Welcome to October!
Some information regarding the next week that you need to be aware of:
1.  All Science classes will be having a quiz on the parts of the cell in terms of labelling only!
   8M and 8K will be on October 5th and 8S will be on October 6th.
2.  All Science classes will begin work on a 3D model of a cell.  Students have been given the handout explaining this and we have gone over it in class.  They will be using two classes in school to work on this....students can bring their materials with them to work in class.  Due dates are as follows:  8M - October 7th, 8K - October 8th, 8S - October 12th.

Also, I have been in contact with the coordinator for the Bodies Exhibit and we are bouncing around a few dates to do the tour.  Classes will be going on different days due to the number of students they can accomodate at one time.  8S and 8K will be going together and 8M and 7/8F will be going together.  Students will be expected to do an assignment while they are there to be handed in to myself.  The cost is $11.95 including the exhibit and the bus.  Parents can join us for $9.95, but may not be able to ride the bus with us depending on the number of students going and the size of the bus we receive.  Please let me know if you would be interested in joining us!  I will be sending out more information as soon as a date is finalized.  Lunch that day is yet to be determined.....we may be stopping on the way home.
Will keep you informed....if you have any questions regarding any of the above, please contact me.

Waiting

Sorry everyone!  I am still waiting for my computer to be working in my classroom......it has impossible to post the notes up to this point.  I apologize and am looking at ways to get this working as soon as possible.  Technology is not always as wonderful as it seems!

Welcome!

Welcome 8M, 8S, 8K parents and students!  This year promises to be a fantastic year.  I will be updating this blog as often as possible.  Please keep this blog in mind when you are online.
Any questions??  Contact me at jmikoluff@sunrisesd.ca or 268 2423.
