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.
