Welcome Back!

Thank goodness summer is over!  :)  We are so excited to be back and can't wait to see everyone.  Students from Div. 2 will attend for one hour on Monday (9-10 am).  For the rest of the week, Div. 2 students will be divided up to join either Div. 1 or 2 as they attend different social responsibility stations.  Teacher and Administrators will be working to compose classes this week and we hope to have everyone organised into their new classes by the end of the week.  Look forward to seeing you all!

Slow Start to Year

Just a quick note to say that we miss you all!  Hopefully we will be back to school soon, but in the meantime, here are a few things you can do to prepare:
  1. Spend 15 min a day reviewing basic math facts: addition, subtraction, and multiplication.  Try websites like multiplication.com.
  2. READ, READ, READ! Pick a novel to end the summer.  Try something light and fun, but at grade level.  Try the Artemis Fowl or Percy Jackson series.
  3. Have you held a pencil this summer?  Rarely, I bet.  Grab a pencil and write something: a grocery list, a chore list, your Fall schedule, a letter.
  4. Learn a new word every day.  Check out http://www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day/ and try to use it.  Write a sentence with it.
  5. Play Sudoku, do a crossword, play scrabble.
Enjoy the sunshine!
