Day 1 - Tuesday, April 5, 2011

Welcome back after a "lovely weather" long weekend for the students. The school is busy with students involved in dance, music festival and junior genius. It is hard to keep track of all that is going on. It is much appreciated when parents can let staff know that students are going to be absent ahead of time so that work can be planned for and done ahead of time. Today, in Math we covered the introduction to the lesson on drawing triangles with specific angles and measurements. Look for "Mathletics" information coming home along with the weekly newsletter. Keeping track of things "due" in the Day Planner is more important now than ever as the expectations are increasing. Craft Club forms are due on Thursday, April 7th. School Tees Grade 6 clothing order forms went home today. If you wish to order something the deadline for orders (cheques or credit cards) is Wednesday, April 20th. This will enable us to get the order sent away and receive the clothing items back in mid to late May. Samples of the clothing are here in the classroom and you can also obtain helpful information on the SchoolTees website. Also, talk to students who are now in grade 7 or 8 will also have helpful information about sizing. Balloon Challenge for Science - best flight path and distance - have it ready for Thursday.
