Peru Mission

I have had some questions regarding the Chores for Peru fundraising that is going on right now at school.  As a school we are collecting cash donations only.  Donations of shoes are not being collected.  It is easier for the mission group to purchase shoes and other items once they arrive, rather then transport them by plane from Canada.  Children are encouraged to do chores to earn some money to donate.  Thank you for your interest, we have had many donations so far!

Homework

I will be posting what homework goes home and when it goes home every week. The homework that is sent is an extension of what we are working on in class. It is checked for completeness, which contributes towards learning skills marks.  We don't always have time to mark it as a class, so I encourage students to check it at home with a parent or older sibling. Since we had our math quiz today, there is no homework being sent this week.  Next week we will resume language and math homework that will be sent home on Tuesday. If there are any further questions regarding homework, please let me know. Thanks!

A note was supposed to go into agendas this morning, but it didn't make it.... there is a bake sale tomorrow, Friday Feb 8, to support the Grade 6 class.  Students can bring some change to purchase goodies and enter their name in a cake raffle. IF there is a snow day, the bake sale is cancelled and there will be a cake raffle held next week. Also, portfolios will go home on Monday.

So January flew by fast! We are almost caught up from the winter break!  We are starting Explanatory writing and on our way to completing our Measurement unit. Portfolios will hopefully be going home at the end of this week with a new math and writing assessment included. Our measurement quiz will take place next week, a confirmed date will be sent home in agendas later this week.  A reminder that report cards go home on Friday Feb 15.  We have an exciting dance performance on Tuesday Feb 12. Masabo Culture Company will be here to perform for our school in the afternoon. You can follow the link below to their website to find out more!
