GO JAGS GO!!!!!                         Jag Jog 2014 

 Congratulations to everyone who participate in the Jag Jog this year! Our school raised almost 21,000 dollars and fun was had by all. 10% of that money raised is donated to the Terry Fox run and the rest is applied to different needs within our school. I had a lot of fun with homeroom 8-6 but saw all of my grade 7 and 8s throughout the day with smiles on their faces. What a great community building event!

The time in class this week was a bit confused. Students were very patient as we worked through technical problems and helped everyone find their school computer password as well as their school gmail account. Missing a period with the Jag Jog and students losing previously typed paragraphs slowed down our progress. We have a paragraph printed for each student and the students now know-Mrs. Sutherland doesn't give up!

   I previewed our Global Read Aloud book entitled- The Fourteenth Goldfish. I will be reading it to the class and we will be connecting online with a class in California reading the same book. While participating in the GRA we will also be starting into our short story unit. The student have shown a lot of interest in writing their own short stories! Very exciting!

Happy Weekend!
