Weekly Update January 7, 2013

Happy New Year!

Thank you so much for all of the Christmas gifts that I received. Your thoughtfulness was very much appreciated. I hope all of you had a restful holiday.


Thank-you to the Demetrioff's for delivering our classroom hamper on Dec. 18 and for everyone's contributions to the hamper.


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 soon. 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--Christmas stories have been presented.  We have finished reading our novel Miracle on Maple Hill and will complete the review of the questions and a final project this week.


Math--Gr. 7--Students completed Ch. 5 on Probability before the break and will bring home their tests for signing tomorrow.  They will start Ch. 6 on Introduction to Fraction Operations (Adding and Subtracting Fractions) this week.

Math--Gr. 8--Students completed Ch. 5--Surface Area before the break and will bring home their tests for signing tomorrow.  They will start Ch. 6--Fraction Operations (Multiplying and Dividing Fractions) this week.
