Christmas Countdown..

  As usual, November has flown by and we are working towards completing tasks and units before Christmas break. It is a busy time! Since yesterday was a snow day, homework will be sent home on Wednesday December 12. This will be the last homework sent home until the new year. Wednesday is also the last day to send in donations for the food bank and Shepherd's of Good Hope.  A big thank you for all the items sent in, we have a very generous contribution. 

  As a class we are looking at descriptive feedback and learning how to apply it effectively to our work.  The students have reviewed their feedback to date, and have set specific goals according to their feedback.  Portfolios will be sent home on Friday December 14 and I encourage parents to go over the work, feedback and goals with their children.  The end goal is for the students to use the descriptive feedback independently to improve their work. 

  The Christmas Sing-Along is Friday December 21, starting at 1:45 pm and all parents are invited to join!  We will be singing 'Someday at Christmas' - the Jack Johnson version.

  I would like to wish everyone a safe, peaceful and happy Christmas and all the best in the upcoming new year.
