Thursday, 20 Sept

First, I'm sorry for yesterday's late post.

Today we began by welcoming the riders from the Cops for Cancer tour, and spent the rest of the day looking at the blinking LED lights that they gave the students.  Thanks to those members of Division 2 who gave up their extra lights so that younger students who had missing of broken toys could go home happy.

We did our first grammar test so I could determine how strong the class's mastery of the parts of speech is.  We still have some work to do; students shouldn't worry if they felt their performance was weak; we will be doing another test and re-tests are always an option.

We did a math lesson on variables and then the grades did level-appropriate work: Grade 7: pp. 18-19; and Grade 6: pp. 22-23.  There is no homework.

After lunch we did a Terry Fox Run planning session with Division 1 and then some more math.  We ended the day with some P.E.

Tomorrow at lunch the parents facilitating the grade 7 hoodie orders will offer the last chance for students to be sized.  On Tuesday at lunch, the 7s will add their signatures to the class logo and FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 28TH IS THE LAST DAY TO GET MONEY IN TO SECURE YOUR ORDER.

Finally, Mr. Pond and I would like to extend an invitation to meet with us next Wednesday evening for about an hour.  Here is a preview of the notice I'll be sending home tomorrow:
