Welcome Back Ms. Kelly!

We are so excited that Ms. Kelly is back in the classroom with us in Division 2!  Please feel free to drop by and say hello!  She is in the classroom every Friday and alternate Tuesdays, and in the library every Wednesday. 


It is another busy week.  Grade 7 students are handing in their "Day I Was Born" projects today.  We are so excited to see them all.  Grade 6 students have a math quiz on Place Value this Wednesday.  There will be a Code Red drill that day as well.  Students are also working on a dance in P.E.  The dance will be presented to the class on Tuesday, Nov 4th.


Halloween is this week too!  Students are encouraged to wear their costumes to school.  Just a reminder though, that there are no masks or weapons allowed at school.  We will be having a school-wide costume parade at 9am that morning.  Remember to be safe Halloween night! 


It's going to be a great week!

What's New in Div 2 - Week of Oct 20th

Just a few reminders about this week:

• Wednesday and Thursday are 2:00 p.m. dismissals for Goal Setting Conferences.  I am looking forward to meeting with you and your child.  If you don't have a conference scheduled and you'd like to meet, I still have some spots open so just send a note or email me.
• Friday is a Professional Day. There is no school for students.  I will be at a conference on Education and Neuroplasticity.  I am looking forward to learning more about how we learn and how to best help kids understand the way our brains work.
• Friday Folders are this week, although they will be coming home Thursday.  Just a reminder that both the Bi-Weekly Progress Report and the Folder need to be signed.
• Attention Grade 7 parents: Mini-School information meetings start on Wednesday night.  Be sure to check out the following website for more information. http://www.vsb.bc.ca/programs/mini-school-registration

Hope you have a great week!

Friday Folder 101

First, hope everyone is having a great Thanksgiving weekend! 


On Friday, your child took home their first Friday Folder.  The red folders will be going home every second Friday. They contain a snapshot of your child's success at school over the last two weeks.  No checkmarks are good; checkmarks are bad. Parents should sign both the Bi-Weekly Progress Report and the Friday Folder sheet indicating that they received all the documents that should have been in the folder.  The folder needs to be returned on the first day back to school which this week is Tuesday. If you or your child has any questions, feel free to email.


Grade 7 Parents should have signed a sheet for the "Day I Was Born" project earlier last week.  Students will have 4 classes to work on this project, but they need to bring in material to research that is not on the computer as well as any device that may help them.  The project needs a complete bibliography so remind them when researching to keep track of their sources.  The project is due Tuesday, Oct 28th.


Lots of big things happened this past week.  The Senior Boys Soccer Team, kicked some butt! The grade 7s voted on a design and ordered their "Grad" hoodies and all Wolfe Wear orders were submitted. Plus, we all bought some great new books at the Book Fair. It was nice to meet so many parents at Meet the Teacher night as well.


Coming this week:
Hip Hop Performance 2:15 Tuesday
First Humanitarian Club Meeting Wednesday Lunch
First Main Choir Practice 8:00 Wednesday


See you Tuesday!

Welcome to Div 2!

What an amazing class we have this year! Welcome to Division 2!  In our first week, we've had the Terry Fox Run, started a Hip Hop unit, and even begun talking about 5-paragraph essays (my favourite).  This past Friday, 3 notices went home: an information letter about Div. 2, a letter about Wolfe clothing and "Grad" hoodies, and finally school fees.  Please ensure that you read the information letter and send your fees in as soon as possible.


Just a reminder that Thursday night is "Meet the Teacher" night at Wolfe.  I hope to meet many of your there.
