Day 3, Thursday, September 10, 2015

Hi everyone,

Thanks for another amazing day! Just a reminder to please bring in your forms that went home on Tuesday about accident insurance, etc. and bring back your completed Edmodo code of conduct signed by your parents/guardians.

Boys volleyball try-outs are under way, girls basketball try-outs will begin on Monday. The sign-up sheet is posted on the outside of our pod. Ultimate frisbee sign-ups are on the outside of the library door, and cross country sign-ups are on our pod door by Ms. Cornwall's door. Please consider running for student council, leadership team, joining flag football, etc.!

Parents and Guardians: Please note that the intermediate division at Orchard Park will not be provided with agendas this year. It is my hope that the students in our class refer to the blog/Edmodo, for updates. All information will be mentioned in class as well as written on our homework/reminder board in class. It is the responsibility of grade 7/8 students to keep updated, informed, and organized. If the student prefers to keep written reminders, they can do so in a personal notebook or planner. If you prefer to communicate with me via paper format, a note from home is great, and I will respond in a similar fashion. Also, thank you to those parents and guardians who have filled out the google form- it helps me to be organized and acts as a quick reference for questions regarding contact information, technology use etc. I'm also enjoying reading about your perspectives of your children as learners.

Today we:

-worked on finishing our mathematician glyphs (most are complete, if not, it's homework), will post a picture soon
- brainstormed some Accountable talk prompts to go with our chart from yesterday:
