Welcome Back to School
Everyone!
September
has arrived and the staff and students of St. Gerard are getting back to work.
I hope everyone had a relaxing and wonderful summer break.
Our annual
welcome BBQ is being held on Thursday September 14th, BBQ order forms
have gone home with your child.
Our first
fundraiser is underway. Some of our students are selling show and save coupon
books, to help raise money for our school. Please do your best to sell a book
or two. Half of the proceeds from the sale go directly to the school.
The grade 8
class is hoping to start work on the yearbook soon. In order to make it
possible we need to pre-sell a least 30 yearbooks by November 1st.
ELA – The grade 8 class has begun the first
novel of the year. They are listening to the novel “A long way from Chicago” by
Richard Peck and keeping a listening journal.
We have
started our spelling and grammar programs. Students should be coming home with
a bit of work in these subjects.
Social Studies – We have begun the year with a mini
unit about developing Worldviews.
French – Our first unit deals with fast food
and ordering in restaurants.
Let’s all
work to make this year a wonderful experience for all of us at St. Gerard
School.
