Good afternoon.

Please keep an eye on the homework updates and important dates to remember.  We have a few extra things going on in the next little while.

The rest of this week has lots to look out for.  We are skating tomorrow afternoon so please come prepared for that.  Also happening tomorrow - report cards!!!!  I know you missed receiving your report card in November and they are finally here.  You're welcome!!!

On Thursday we are having "Dress as Your Favourite Book Character Day".  I'd rather not see any Captain Underpants if you don't mind, but please be creative.

All ski/snowboard trip forms and payments are due on Friday at the very latest.  Please pay online and indicate our receipt number on the permission slip.

We are meeting for literacy groups tomorrow so please have your ELA homework finished and ready to go.

See you tomorrow.

Hello everyone.
 
I hope you are enjoying your long weekend.  We are already at the end of January and there are several important dates coming up.  Please keep your eye on the "Important Dates for February" column so you don't miss anything.

We are into our third week of the literacy groups.  We will be meeting with our reading groups on Wednesday morning so please be prepared for that.  Also, because of our slightly altered schedule last week, and slightly altered schedule this coming week, we will be altering our schedule even further.  The class switches (Health, Science, Social Studies, Phys. Ed) that you normally have on Day One, will be held on Day Two and vice versa.  The altered plan will continue for the rest of the week.  This is needed to keep all four homerooms at the same lesson in all subject areas.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and I will see everyone on Monday.

Hello everyone.

Remember to bring back your response to the Intent to Ski letter.  We need to know by Monday who is planning on coming with us to Mission Ridge.

Have a great weekend.

Happy New Year everyone.  I guess I'm a few days late with the first blog post of the new year but I'm happy to see everyone back after that much-needed holiday.

We have already jumped into our Practical and Applied Arts unit and all classes seem to be running smoothly.We will switch PAA groups on Thursday, January 12th.  Any grade sevens who have not yet paid the $20 for the PAA course, please do so ASAP.  We have a lot of materials we need to purchase to run these programs.

Today we started our literacy groups.  You should all have your assigned novel and roll for this week.  Tomorrow is a reading class but it would be a good idea to get started on that reading at home.  Remember, it's very important to the whole group that you stay on top of all reading and assigned rolls each week.

Tomorrow is Sports Wear/Jersey Day.  Come dressed in your favourite team's jersey or sports clothes but . . . please make sure it's washed first.  We want to SEE the sport - not SMELL it!!! :)

That is all for now.  Try to stay warm and enjoy the rest of your day.
