2017 is Off to a Good Start!

Once again, thank you for all the generous gifts and well wishes before the break.  Miss Kelly & I couldn't have been more thrilled!  Thank you.  We hope everyone had a great break, and not too busy!  Especially since we are just starting to get busy back at school.

Our Science Sways were due today.  We are very excited to see where our student inquiries led everyone.  Our French family projects are also due this week.  Students have had over 3 hours of class time to work on it, but there may be some last minute art to complete.  The class' Mesopotamia projects are due next week.  The kids have been working diligently on their research for weeks!  We are looking forward to the presentations next week.

We have two field trips this week as well, a play at Tupper Friday morning and then skating Friday afternoon.  We go skating again on Feb 21st, and March 1st as well.

Finally, Division 2 is excited to start our Literature Circles.  Each student has chosen a novel out of a possible 8 that they think they will enjoy.  Miss Kelly and I have read all of the novels, and they are amazing!  Please encourage your child to stay on schedule for their reading, and Lit Circle work.  Perhaps even ask them about their novel.  It will be good practice for their Lit Circle discussions.

Just a reminder, we are still collecting food for the Vancouver Food Bank.  If you have any leftover Christmas goodies that need a new home, please send them to school!
