Ms. Kearns' Grade 7/8 Blog: Movie Monday!

Today was a really busy and productive day! I was happy to hear about your Science experiments and it was good to see that the pile of boxes and supplies went to good use!

We started the morning off with a math quiz on algebraic expressions. Most people finished just after recess, and I was happy to see you all asking good questions and hard at work.

Once everyone was done the quiz, we finished our last piece of the S.O.T.M. series. We talked about an effective conclusion and how it's so important to remind people in that paragraph of your arguments and why you want them to pick the person that you have picked. The final note in the series was made and posted and you will find the pictures below. S.O.T.M are due on Friday (soft due date) or Tuesday (hard & final due date), so keep working!

After lunch you did Science! Structures buildings and tests will run tomorrow AM! Mrs. Nicholson is excited to see your results and read your lab reports. You'll find her note attached below as well.

I went in to speak with Ms. Wong and she let me take a picture of your new vocabulary about directions....I'm not psychic but I feel that there will be a quiz in the very near future.

Now, before I close off I wanted to highlight a few things!
1. On Friday we had our first Recognition assembly and we had two wonderful winners! Beyonce won our Respect award for the month and Shane was the recipient of the Confidence and Cooperation certificate. I was so proud to see all of you so well behaved at the assembly and it was fantastic that I had so many of you in mind for the awards! I can't wait to see who wins next month.

2.Before the assembly I was talking with some of the grade 8 boys about how the assembly might go, and reflected on this scene from the television show "Parks and Recreation", I have attached the clip below and if any of you can imagine me walking to the front of the assembly in my mind this is what it might look like!
