What a gorgeous day - I hope that you enjoyed the sunshine with your loved ones!
The novel study project guide was handed out today - the projects will focus on character development in Underground to Canada and students have a choice of three projects, each worth 50 marks (as outlined in the grading criteria in the package). Students chose their three projects today, and we both signed the yellow contract. The third piece of the puzzle will come tonight when you sit with your child and review the expectations and sign the yellow contract as well. If students are working on the project at home, they must set goals on the sheet and record how they stand in relation to those goals at the end of the work period. You should then initial the sheet to ensure that they have worked, and that the work was completed independently. The final product will be due on Friday, November 14th - early submissions welcome!
New spelling words were handed out today - a mix of Hallowe'en, Remembrance and Social Study words. Quiz on Friday, October 31st.
On Friday morning, students are invited to bring a $2 donation to UNICEF and wear their civvies in the morning (all children are free to change into costumes after lunch on Friday for our party). UNICEF is a great organization - learn more here! http://www.unicef.org/
Government test on Thursday, October 30th!
Parent social night on Wednesday, October 29th.
Tuesday, October 28th - no wrestling practice in the morning, and soccer boys should meet on the tarmac at 7:40 am.
