What wonderful weather!

I think Spring is finally here, it feels great and there are so many excellent activities we can do in the nice weather! I hope you are taking time to enjoy it as well.

The grade 6 class, along with the rest of the school, will be completing CAT 4 tests this week and next week.
They have 1 test on Tuesday (tomorrow), 2 on Wednesday, 1 on Thursday and 1 on Monday May 7th.

Please make sure your child is at school and has gotten a good sleep and nutritious meals. This will help them perform their best! Good luck to you grade 6!!

PAT tests are also coming up soon. You can expect a letter home soon as there have been a few changes this year. The grade 6 class will be writing their Language Arts PAT on the computer. 

*Report cards went home on Friday, please contact the office if you need a copy.
*Parent Teacher Interviews are this Thursday May 3, 2012. I am looking forward to seeing you there!

We are continuing in our preparation for PATs as well as with our Poetry unit. The students have also been assigned a book report due May 31, 2012. They have handed in their sheet with the chosen book and today were given the expectations for the project of their choice. The students will not have school time to complete this so if they need support at home it would be great if you can provide it. 
As always, let me know if there is any way I can help!

Hoppy Easter!

Hello!

What a beautiful weekend and a great day today as well! It looks like spring may be here! Just a quick update and a few reminders.
Thursday April 5: Holy Thursday-the Sr High and Middle School will have an Easter celebration at 9:00am.
Easter break from April 5-April 15, 2012.
Report Cards come out at the end of April.

The grade 6 class will not have any homework over the holiday however, I do encourage them to take some time and enjoy a good book. They may also consider looking for a book to be used in a book report which we will begin once we return. We will also be starting a poetry unit in mid-April as well as continue preparing for Provincial Achievement Tests. A letter will be sent home soon providing the dates of the tests and more information. 

Great work on your "I am" poems! I heard a lot of positive comments at the Open House!

I hope you all have a wonderful break and take some time to enjoy the great weather!
See you on April 16th!!!
