October at Acadia

October is a busy month!  Students are playing volleyball, planning WE Day events, learning about science fair and other biotechnology challenges in the Mad Scientists club,  finishing up selling chocolate bars for our school fundraiser (which will go towards supporting technology available to classes of students), singing in Choir with Mrs. Thiessen, playing in band with Mr. Ferguson, and working hard in physical education classes with Mr. Oberholtzer, Mr. Filewich and Mrs. Sampson. I think I'm missing a few things too.

October 14 (Monday) Thanksgiving Day holiday
October 18 (Friday) Divisional Common Day no classes

Happy Summer 2013!

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer vacation. :-)

I finished my last university course for my Masters of Education in Curriculum (Mathematics) and am working on finishing my comprehensive project (a 73-page essay basically).  Good times during the summer for sure!

I just wanted to let Enrichment grade 8-2 math students know I am their math teacher next year. Cannot wait to meet you see you upstairs in room 306 on the afternoon of September 4th at some point I hope!

I am the homeroom teacher for 9-1 (math/science). Lists should be posted at some point in late August or early September, so if you see your name on the list for 9-1, I'm so glad you'll be in my homeroom this year! Hopefully, you are excited too.

I also will be teaching 9-8 and 9-9 mathematics only, so I hope to get to know you in the 8 classes we will have together each cycle in my room upstairs (306).

Teachers are back at work for meetings all day on Tuesday, September 3rd. Students do not have to come until Wednesday, September 4th. Grade 7's come in the morning and Grade 8's come in the afternoon on that day.
