As the days get shorter and the weather cools off, we still find our- selves busy and productive in Grade 7! In ELA, we have continued to explore the theme of science fiction. Soon, our intern, Miss Simonson, will begin a novel study on Tuck Everlasting. Math has the class beginning to look at some pre-algebra concepts in patterns and relations. Social has had the class looking at some mapping skills, while in science, the Grade 7s have been studying rocks and minerals. The students are currently wrapping up their unit in science, so they can soon expect a unit exam. In Home Ec. They are learning about kitchen basics.

On October 16, the Grades 5-12 will begin a magazine sale fundraiser. The proceeds of the event will be allocated to the SRC. The SRC provides activities and opportunities for the students at Hanley school. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me.

In the following weeks, it is the intention of Miss Simonson and myself to plan a field trip for the Grade 7s. We have a few ideas, but nothing has been set in stone as of yet. When our plans come together, we will send a letter home.

Finally, Tri-conferences are just around the corner. If you would like to book a time to with us, please call the office and book a time with Mrs. Block. Thanks for everything you do for your child and for the support you have shown the school so far this year. We couldn’t do it without you!
