Day 1 - Wednesday, April 28, 2010

Welcome the rain. Tomorrow morning we are heading over to St. Peter's school for the Mckenzie Art Gallery exhibit. If it is raining we will be getting a ride on one of the buses when it arrives from its rural route. Students need to be at the school and in this classroom no later than 8:40 tomorrow morning so that the bus doesn't wait for us. It is also the transfer bus to get rural St. Peter's students over to their school, so it must be on time.
We will then be able to get the bus to bring us back.

May 5th, the Coop is providing all of the students with two slices of free pizza (no orders will be placed) in order to make amends for the chicken strips that were not so good.

Enjoy the lovely weather today because I understand that tomorrow and the weekend are not going to be as nice - but the rain would be welcome, again. Dress for the weather, students.

Welcome back to school! Did you know that we only have 11 weeks of school left? Therefore, it is so important that we not let anything slide.

I hope you all had a nice relaxing Easter Break - except for the tension of the blizzard with those incredibly strong winds.

Today the grade 6's started learning about "ratio". Try to think of as many places in our daily lives that we use ratio.

From before the break - students had Health Journals to work on and French "Goofy" sentences to write.

For tomorrow, the French is due and hairdryers are needed for Science.
Health Journals are required at school on Wednesday.

Also, Junior Genius is on Wednesday morning.
