 The start to the 2014 2015 year is quickly approaching.   This year you can find information for the following classes on my website: Math 8L1Math 8L2Science 8E1Science 8E2Science 8L1Science 8L2 The website is where I will be posting class notes, worksheets, rubrics of how projects will be marked, tutorial videos, pictures from class, student work, updates from what we did in class that day and homework.   The messages/notes will be posted in English as I do not assume that all parents can read French.   I want parents to feel included in the learning of their children.  This site will be used to help keep you informed throughout the year. Students are asked to have a memory stick, binder, duotang, calculator, ruler, graph paper, pencil and pen for class. Feel free to contact me through email (angela.mcquaidmurphy@nbed.nb.ca) or by phone for clarification as needed. Check back often and stay informed about all the neat stuff that will be happening in Math 8 and Science 8 this year.  I am excited to work with the Red 8 students this year.  See you next week! Mme. McQuaid Murphy    :)
