Wednesday, Jan. 16

Wow! Wind, blizzard-like conditions and cold - winter can have a bitter edge. At school some of the students are finishing off some Super-kid letters they are behind on. Unfortunately, as this was past homework, they are catching up at recess breaks. Homework is a fact of school for most students. Our class policy is to give one day's grace if it was forgotten at home. But if it was forgotten or not done for 2 days, the student loses recess privileges until the work is completed.
Homework for this week:
Social - Test is on Thursday, Jan. 17. The students should have a study guide for Chapter 3.
Spelling - Unit 12 work is due and they will have a quiz on Friday, Jan 18. (compound words)
Handwriting - one page with H, K, and X is due on Friday, Jan. 18.
Superkid Letter to Lindsay- we work on this tomorrow morning, but the final product will also be due on Friday, Jan 18.

The students from Grades 4-9 watched a ski/snowboard presentation in period 8 today. The Grade 6-9 classes will have the chance to go skiing at Castle Mountain on Wednesday, Jan. 30. The Grade 4 and 5 classes will have the chance to go skiing on Wednesday, February 14, 2008. As this is Valentine's day, the Valentine's Day party will happen but it wil probably be on the 13 or the 15. We wil let you know as we know.

Have a warm evening.
