Weekly Update Oct. 8, 2012

Happy Thanksgiving!


Many of you did not respond to my email regarding Fort Whyte Raffle Tickets. I didn't have a chance to contact you directly. The tickets will be handed out on Tuesday. If you are interested please let me know. The profit of selling the tickets will go directly to your child to cover camp costs.

Please be aware that there have been several cases of lice reported in the school. Check your child regularly for nits to ensure that they are nit free. Please notify the school if you discover lice or nits to continue our precautions.

ELA--The students handed in their All About Me Project on Friday. Students will be presenting three of their written items in class Tuesday and Wednesday as well as showing students their creative covers and Coat of Arms. We will begin Short Stories after presentations are complete.

Math--Gr. 7--Have begun Ch. 2, Operations on Decimal Numbers.

Math--Gr. 8--Are working through Ch. 2 on Ratios, Rates and Proportions. They will probably have a test Friday.
