Jam Packed Weeks

It's been an exciting couple of weeks.  We had a great day at the Writers' Festival last Tuesday, even the rains stopped for us!

 And then you were busy raising money!  We now raised over $500 in our poverty project.  and we aren't finished yet!  Many of you were able to go to We Day last week and some of you will be going to the district Cross Country meet.  Peer Helper and Hall Monitor training took place yesterday.  And then most of you started Welcome to Your Life and Boys for Real yesterday and our Senior Boys are the city champions in soccer for the first time in the school's history-first time a senior team have been champions.  How exciting is that!  I am really sorry that I didn't have time to have a junior girls soccer team so you girls might have had a better chance but I know you had lots of fun at your games and you did well.  I promise to coach a girls' basketball team.

Our school is really special in that so many people give up extra time to be your coaches for cross country, soccer, volleyball etc. as well as sponsor Students' Council and Me to We clubs.  And there are many other activities such as Girl Guides, community link programs, and Sunset programs that you can attend right in our school.  Trudeau is a real community! 

Moodle is back in operation

I have begun posting assignments and forums on moodle.  The new link is at the side as well as here.

Poverty and Yeast and math and the Writers' Festival

In Social Studies we are learning about the age old problem of hunger in the world.  Unfortunately, even in a wealthy country we have poverty and hunger and even in our province.  To learn more please go to the Me to We blog link at the side.  We need to decide what we are going to do at Trudeau about poverty.

In Science we are going to be designing an experiment with yeast.  To learn more about yeast here are two sites.  Here is a video.  With a little more research you can find out more.  Here is some additional information on yeast.

I actually learned a good trick about lowest common multiples that I will show you today.  But to work on your math this site is excellent. 
And I am sure you are all excited about our field trip Tuesday, here is the event we are going to attend.  Here is more about the book series that is being launched and you can find out more about the authors who you will be seeing.
