Another busy week is upon us in the Grade 8 wing at Forest Hills. I am excited that my new SMARTBOARD has been installed and we are using it daily to enhance our learning in Math and Science classes. The students seem to be excited as well as we embark on this new avenue of learning together in our classes.
We will be continuing to review and prepare for the upcoming Math assessment which will take lace the second week of June. Students are encouraged to attend daily extra help sessions at noon hour if required. They simply need to speak to me a day in advance and come with their questions and concerns.
The Health classes will be finishing the year with the Human Growth and Development module. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please email me or contact me at the school.

Have a great week.

What a beautiful spring day today is!! April is upon us and in my Math classes we will be working hard to prepare for the Grade 8 Assessment coming up in June. Students should be practicing 13 mental math questions in 2 minutes frequently at home. We will be doing these in class as this is a key part of assessment. We will also be working hard to cover the remaining curriculum prior to the assessment. Students who have particular questions or problem areas are encouraged to seek extra help at noon.
High school registrations are complete and your child should have received confirmation of their High School placement provided they successfully complete Grade 8. We have about 50 school days remaining and we all know how fast time flies. Encourage your child to do their best as I always do.
Have a nice day.
