Week of January 23-27, 2012

After a cold week last week, it looks like the weather should be a little bit more comfortable this week! I hope everyone enjoyed sleeping in on the snow day :)

Great work last week Grade 6! Keep working hard on your writing!

We will be continuing on with our novel The Breadwinner. We have completed the first 4 chapters along with Chapter questions and other small daily assignments. Please make sure your child has their duotang to keep all the questions in. Also, if students are not finished their questions in class they are required to sign out a book and complete them at home. Make sure to ask your child if they have any to catch up on.

This week I will also be introducing the Tic-Tac-Toe activity that will be due on February 16th, 2012. I will attach the activity chart from which students must choose 3 activities. The specific details for each activity are provided on a separate sheet which students take from the file folder in class. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

IMPORTANT:

Wed Jan 25 is Ski Day for Middle School. Please make sure your child has returned their forms and money. We will be leaving the school at 8:00am therefore please make sure your child is at the school on time. We will also be returning late (4:00-4:30pm) so please make necessary arrangements.

Thursday Jan 26 I will be away at a Beginning Teacher Orientation. The students will have a wonderful morning with Mrs. Shelley Schuler.
