Important Days in September!

Just as our newsletter indicated, there are a few days to watch out for at Acadia this month.

NOT REGULAR CLASSES DAYS

Monday, Sept. 19th is school for GRADE 7 students only!

Friday, Sept. 23 & Monday, Sept. 26 are STRONG BEGINNINGS days, which means students only come for their appointment time (approximately 1 hour in duration).  Otherwise, there are no classes on these days.


SPORTS INFO

Cross country runners are completing strong for Acadia and parents can ask Mrs. MacAulay or Mrs. Oswald for cross-country dates.

Grade 7 girls have morning league volleyball for ALL GIRLS who want to attend, Monday & Wednesday mornings at 7:30.  ALL grade 7 boys have the same on Tuesday & Thursday mornings at 7:30 am!

Grade 8 and 9 coaches have notified who made the teams for their respective teams this past week.  Thanks to ALL athletes who came and tried out.  If we had more supervisors and coaches we would love to have more of you.  Great effort!

Welcome back to School!

Meet the Teacher is Wednesday, Sept. 15th.  Please come to the gym at 7:00 pm!

Check your class page at the top!

Happy Summer 2011!

I hope everyone enjoys their summer.  Looking forward to hot weather, time at the lake and rainy days at the University of Manitoba library working on my thesis essay!  My friend Doc, an exchange teacher from Germany, took the picture below of a hummingbird at the cottage - enjoying nature for sure this summer is a great idea!

I am still on crutches but starting physiotherapy, so can't wait to walk back in normally in September to see everyone! Everyone, that is, except for the grade 9's.  You will be sorely missed, and hopefully have time to come back to Acadia in the fall to keep us updated on how things run in the "big" school next door or down the road.  You know I am just a message away if you have any grade 10 math or science emergencies!

I am teaching grade 8 math/science to 8-7.  I am teaching grade 9 math/science to 9-2.  I am teaching grade 9 science only to 9-4.  I have no idea who are in these classes but when the lists are posted at the end of August/beginning of September on Acadia's doors (usually grade 9 is on the parking lot doors, grade 7 is by the office doors and grade 8 is by Lab A (Mrs. Kiddell's lab).  This could change, but it is my guess for 2011/2012 too.

Should be a great year.  I will be missing Mr. Bannatyne (retired in December), Mrs. Kiddell (retired in June) and Mr. Zurzolo this year who were great friends in the math and science department.

Feel free to check out the right side of my blog for links to cool math and science websites that will get you ready for math and science in grade 8 and 9 this year.

Course outlines will be available online at the beginning of September.  I can't wait to get to know you and know our classes together will be awesome if we are dedicated to learning together!

Exam Week

Students are free to email or message me via the blog if they have any exam questions about math or science.

Good luck in the morning exams grade 9's!

Good luck in the afternoon exams grade 8's!

I'll be thinking of you all.
