We will be having a science test on Friday, November 5th. We will be reviewing in class next week and I will be providing a detailed list of topics to study in the next few days.

Don’t forget that Wednesday, November 3rd is “Take your kid to work day”. All forms should now be handed in (to myself or Ms. Thistle). If you haven’t done so please do this as soon as possible, as all placements MUST be school approved. If students are not particpating in this program they are required to attend classes on that day.

Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask 🙂

Just a reminder to parents that while Montague Consolidated is conducting interviews this week our  interviews here at MIS will be held on November 18th and 19th. This means that classes will be held as normal this Friday, October 29th.

I will be sending home interview time sheets as we get closer to the dates of our interviews.

Have a great week!

Portfolios! Portfolios! Portfolios!

Students PLEASE bring in something to put into your portfolios this week!

Thanks

Ms. Walker

Students are reminded to finish their sheets in science (4.16 la tectonique des plaques) and social studies (atouts et contraintes). We will be correcting these tomorrow in class.

Have a great night!

We’ve been working on group presentations in class on historical figures who have influenced the Middle Ages. The students should be wrapping up their projects. Thursday will be the last day to work on these in class and presentations will start Friday. Any students who are behind should make sure they are working on these at home.

Bonne chance!

Students are reminded that tomorrow is the absolute last day for the “Take your kid to work” forms. Please hand them into me, Ms. Thistle or the office.

Also, students are reminded that their actualités are due on Friday, October 29th. I will be taking them in this week so make sure your scribblers are up to date.

Just a reminder of the science test tomorrow, October 21st.

Also, any students who have not finished their maps of Ancient Egypt need to hand them in tomorrow.

Happy studying 🙂

I have sent home the form for the annual “Take your kid to work day” which will take place on November 3rd. Please have these forms back into me by Monday, October 25th. Any questions about this day please contact myself or Ms. Thistle.

Also students are reminded that their “actualités” are due on Friday, October 22nd. Please make sure you are keeping up on this current event assignment every week as I will soon be collecting your summaries.

The social studies test has been corrected and sent home and I will be handing back the science test tomorrow. Remember to keep all your tests as they will facilate studying at exam time.

In health class we are nearing the end of our study on abuse. Students are working on their assignments inclass. They have already completed a poster and and currently working on analysing abusive scenarios.

Another part of our health program is the portfolio. Most of the students worked on their portfolios in grade 7 and 8 and I’ve asked that any students who still have their portfolios from last year bring them to class. Those who don’t can start fresh. The portfolio is a personal reflection project. Students could include any or all of the following in their porfolios: pictures, work their are proud of (ie. tests, assignments, projects), poems, drawings, stories, resumés, awards, etc.

From time to time I will give the students an assignment that is specifically meant for their portfolio, but I also expect that as grade 9 students they will add to these themselves. Their portfolios do make up a small percentage of their overall mark, so I will be going through them from time to time, making sure that students are adding items as the school year progresses.

Remember your portfolio is a  personal reflection of yourself so feel free to be as open, as honest and as expressive as you’d like 🙂
