Hello
We are getting down to the "NITTY GRITTY" in terms of marks for term 1. I have talked EXTENSIVELY to the class about completing work ON TIME and WITH CARE. This Friday there will be a Halloween Dance for students who do have all of their work complete. Students that do not will need to go to the work room to finish any assignments. Last night we had math homework which was completed by only one student! This was to prepare you for your Unit 2 Math Test. Make sure to complete the Practice Test tonight and to work on questions in the back of your textbook to make up Unit 2 Math Marks.
Other work completed today:
1) Halloween Unit - Poetry, Purrfect Penmanship
STUDY TONIGHT FOR YOUR TEST!
Thanks
Mr. Hickey

Hello
Today we had an assembly to kick off the M.S. Read-A-Thon at our school. I will be sending forms home tonight and students may start to gather sponsers. One main difference between the Read-A-Thon this year and the past is that it is by # of minutes (instead of # of books) this year. We have two incentives for the M.S. Read-A-Thon: 1) A pizza party to the class who raises the most money and 2) a dance in November for any students that raise at least $20 (this should be easy!!!). We will be reading EVERYDAY as part of the fundraiser! Lets raise some cash for a great cause!
Cookie Dough Fundraiser forms and money were due by today! Please bring tomorrow!
A Story Before Time and Post Secondary Information Day Forms were sent home last night. PALS forms and Halloween Fun Night Forms were sent home tonight. Please return as sooon as possible.
Today's work:
1) Language Power - Lessons 8-9 and Review (Test Thursday)
2) The Outsiders - All questions/worksheets due by Friday.
3) Literacy Power - Joseph Jackson finished today
4) Mid Unit Review Due Tomorrow
We will be finishing Autobiographies tomorrow! Please remember rough copies and pictures.
Have a great night.

I'M BACK!!
Hello again to everyone! I'm back from the birth of my second child Vaive Michael Barrat Hickey! He was born on Saturday, September 27th @ 2:47am, weighing 7pound11ounces, in St. Joseph's Hospital. It was a very long Friday, but well worth everything with his arrival on Saturday. I would like to say thanks for all of the best wishes!
While I was away Mrs. Bacher was in for the week. I kept in contact with Mrs. Bacher and she stated that everything went pretty well. A couple of reminders to students about behaviour and work habits, but overall a good week!
This week we have been looking at where we are in the term and what we need to have done! It does seem that some students are starting to fall behind on their work, so today we have used as a catch up day on the following things:
SCIENCE PROJECT DUE TODAY - IS IT COMPLETE?
MATH UP-TO-DATE?
THE OUTSIDERS QUESTIONS/ASSIGNMENTS COMPLETE?
LANGUAGE POWER - UP TO LESSON 7 COMPLETE AND MARKED?
AUTOBIOGRAPHY ROUGH COPY COMPLETE AND READY FOR POWERPOINT?
LITERACY POWER UP-TO-DATE?
SPELLING LESSONS UP-TO-DATE?
MEDIA ASSIGNMENTS#1&2 COMPLETE?
HAVE YOU BEEN TAKING YOUR READ A LOUDS HOME AND READING/GETTING SIGNED BY PARENTS/GUARDIANS?
IS YOUR AGENDA COMPLETE?
HAVE YOU BEEN PUNCTUAL?
HAVE YOU HAD GOOD ATTENDANCE?
HAVE YOU SHOWN A POSITIVE ATTITUDE AND GOOD WORK HABITS IN CLASS?
I TALKED ABOUT THESE WITH THE CLASS TODAY AS *EVERYONE* EXCEPT FOR ONE STUDENT STAYED IN @ LUNCH YESTERDAY FOR MATH WORK WHICH WAS OVER A WEEK LATE! WE DO NOT WANT THIS TO BECOME A HABIT! MAKE SURE YOUR WORK IS COMPLETED AND YOU GET THE EXTRA HELP IF NECESSARY! (After School or Homework Support on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 6-9 at Polytech)
I have also talked with students about their completion of work and habits in regards to attending the Social tomorrow and the Hagersville Trip on Friday (note sent home)
School work needs to come first over everything!
One last note, I sent home a Cookie Dough Fundraising form with ALL of the students yesterday. Please try to sell as much as possible because it does go back to the students! The class that sells the most will have a pizza party! All money and forms are DUE BY: OCTOBER 20th!
Thanks
Good to be back!
