Friday, 26 October

We flipped our schedule today and started with math.  Both groups continued to de-brief their pre-tests in preparation for Monday's real test.  I hope all students are now confident they will be able to be successful knowing exactly what to expect.

After recess I gave an introductory lesson in Powerpoint; the class let me know what they thought was good about our practice slide and what needed to be changed.  We are going to be making slides for our Remembrance Day poetry research assignment.  After lunch the students had a chance to play with the program themselves and design a couple of slides.  We also practiced our cursive writing and then finished off the math review.  We ended the day with a game of camouflage in the forest - I lost (as usual).

Remember the Sugar Bowl - $6 (for bus fare)- November 1st. I'll send home a price list for the concession on Monday.

Math test Monday October 29th. PLEASE STUDY.

Report cards come out November 16th.

Please check your schedules to see if you're available to drive to the three skating days:
We'll start our skating on November 20 (11:00 - 12:00).  Remember that volunteers need to provide a criminal record search, proof of license and proof of liability insurance.  I know it sounds like a lot to do for the "privilege" of helping us, but we need to respect the measures put in place to guarantee the students' safety.  Please let me know if you can help. (Other known dates are Nov 27 and Dec 4.).
