I hope everyone had a great long weekend. Only 28 school days until Christmas!!!
Report Cards and Portfolio Conferences--Report cards will go home on Friday. A sign-up sheet will be posted in the hallway for Portfolio conferences being held on Nov. 22 and Nov. 23 in the evening. There will be up to four families in the classroom viewing portfolios at the same time. I will be in the classroom as well to answer any questions. If you would like an individual appointment at a different time, please email me or speak to me to arrange that.
Shoe Box Donations--We will again be putting together Shoe Boxes for Samaritan's Purse. Your child has chosen to bring a few items as well as $1 to help with the shipping of these boxes. Please see the attached list. If you are unable to bring in the item(s) please let me know. We need them in the classroom by Friday, November 18 as collection of the boxes will be early next week.
Shake It Up--The students will be seeing Shake it Up on Thursday a.m. at 10:00. The Gr. 5/6 class will be going to the play as well. I will let drivers know who is driving tomorrow in preparation for Thursday.
Shops--Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately to walk to Shops. The weather is changing and they will be expected to walk to shops no matter what the weather is.
ELA--I will be checking reading logs on Tuesday for 150 min. of reading as well as Agendas for signatures. Students completed Remembrance Day activities this week and a Listener Response on the Hobbit.. Four Reader Responses for November will be due on Nov. 25.
Math--Gr. 8s are working on Ch. 3, the Pythagorean Theorem involving square roots and perfect squares. The Gr. 7s have begun Ch. 3 and we have looked at perpendicular bi-sectors.
Social Studies--We are continuing to work on Ch. 2 on The Early Peoples. We talked about Remembrance Day and viewed a Power Point Presentation.
Religion--Gave Pastor Schnarr a water balloon to use for chapel service in the tool box.
