Happy Short Week! We started by chatting about all the sports and tasty food from the weekend 🙂

We read a couple more chapters today in our novel and after Collab we watched a few videos of people without arms doing different tasks, such as driving a car, piloting an airplane! Pretty amazing!

Happy Friday!

Today was very exciting, we watched the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony, and it was magical! I love the message of unity, peace, sportsmanship, kindness, grace and excellence that was the constant thread.

We did also do some work today- we started with some basketball in PE, our current focus is layups, or shooting in motion. Unfortunately we won’t have PE next week due to the Pro D day, hopefully we can get outside and do something instead. We also worked on our The Story of My Name writing, I will share a picture of our display once it’s complete. We did some Math and then after lunch we had a work block for our speeches and anything else needing to be finished.

Please note that Monday is a Pro D Day. Students should be finishing up their speech drafts and sharing with me, as well as their The Story of My Name stories/writing.

Next week will be short, we have lots to cover in only 2 days (with me) and 1 with Mme Huard.

Bonne fin de semaine, bons Jeux Olympiques et Joyeux Super Bowl!

Hope you all had a nice weekend, the weather was very cooperative if you wanted to be outside at all 🙂

Today was very exciting for the 7s- 2 of my students from last year came to chat with us about their experience so far in grade 8. They had lots of great insight to share and in return, the 7s asked lots of questions. Tomorrow we will be sending the morning at WGSS for Transition Day with the other feeder schools. We still start all together in the gym, then break into smaller groups with a couple WGSS GQs (leadership students) to go on a tour and answer any other questions they may have. As we are walking there and back, and may also be participating in a physical activity in the gym, students are encouraged to wear running shoes and other appropriate clothes. As well, students are encouraged to bring a small pocket snack. A snack will be provided by WGSS, but we all know that one is never enough. Water bottles are also permitted. Any questions, let me know.

If your family is participating in Literacy Bingo, the sheet is due tomorrow.

Grade 6/7 girls basketball practice 8:00am. Grade 6 boys 12:00.

Thursday is ‘Dress Like a Book Character Day”.

À demain!
