Meet the Teacher:

My name is Ms. Henry-Brawthwaite.  I have been teaching  for over 25 years and the passion is still evident in my daily relationship with my Lord. Having the ability to make a difference in each of my students’ lives, keeps me motivated and inspired to help them.

Welcome to Grade 8 where teaching is a gift and learning indicates growth. I encourage all students to put God first in all they do. This includes working hard, walking tall, starting strong, and finishing strong in their academic endeavours.

Both my English and social studies classes are very diverse with students who are willing and capable of learning. They learn in a variety of ways using visuals, audios, interactive devices etc.

Social Studies Grade 7th Curriculum:

• Text- American Journey the Early Years & PNWBOCES
