Weekly Update--January 13, 2013

During the month of January, we are collecting one small, simple toy (new, that does not require batteries) for our Learning and Living Kits that we are putting together for CLWR (Canadian Lutheran World Relief).

Please also remember Rehimet, our Compassion Canada sponsor child. We would like to collect $1.00/month from the students. If it is easier to bring it as one lump sum, please do so.

Camp--Information will be sent out this week. For planning purposes the dates are June 17-19. Camp will be at Luther Village, near Kenora, ON. I am finalizing some costs in regards to chaperones and drivers/transportation.

ELA--Final Projects on Miracle on Maple Hill are due on Thursday.  We will be going to MTYP on Thursday morning to see The Big League.  We will be finishing up our Short Stories Unit from before Christmas.

Math--Gr. 7--Students are working on Ch. 6 Introduction to Fraction Operations (Adding and Subtracting Fractions) this week.

Math--Gr. 8--Students are working on Ch. 6--Fraction Operations (Multiplying and Dividing Fractions) this week.

Social Studies--Students will be completing Ch. 3 on Interaction.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to call the school or email me directly.
