We had an... interesting party this afternoon. It was fun and thank you to all the parents that supplied different treats for us.
For tomorrow, students are invited to bring a blanket and/or pillow for the afternoon movie in the gym. Also, our Pancake Breakfast is tomorrow. The Grade sevens (and some of the Grade 6s) will be busy much of the morning working. They all know the time they are required to be at school. It is also Pyjama Breakfast, so keep that in mind.

Friday 12 December, 2014
1) As much Story Map time as possible coming over Monday and Tuesday, including some "No Laptop" time, (more artistic time) so plan appropriately
2) Grade 7 Mesopotamia test date Monday December 15 - I will fit this in between practices for the concert on Monday
3) Christmas/Holiday Party Thursday (student organized) - we meant to discuss who could bring what for the party today, but we had a concert practice that went well into the afternoon. Students "volunteered" items they thought they could bring and wrote those on the white board in our class. My hope is that anyone wishing to bring something could do so by ransacking items they already have at home (2 litre pops, chips, cups, plates, etc.). I hope to not have you lay out any money for this.
Also, this was suggested after school and I will discuss it on Monday: we could play that fun gift "stealing" game using an unwrapped gift from the Dollar Store. I'm hoping that if we announce that on Monday, that will give people enough time to get there by the party on Thursday.
*4) Christmas Concert costume for Monday. I haven't sent any notes home about this because our song is a tropical one and I just asked the kids to wear anything Hawaiian/Tropical that they have accessible to them at home including board shorts, Hawaiian shirts, leis, sunglasses, tropical hats. Please don't buy anything for this; if you can borrow something, great, but failing that, shorts and a bright t-shirt can work just fine. The goal is NOT to add one more stress to parents this time of year. And the only reason I'm looking for the costume to come in Monday is to add one more day for those students who might forget it on Tuesday when it's REALLY important for our afternoon performance.
One more week to go! I hope to see you all at the concert next week. Our students have worked very hard to prepare two fun songs for you. Plus some of our kids have added roles as MCs, audio crew, set design and other leadership roles.
Please look for your child to bring their report card home on Monday. I spent part of this week going over each report card with each child, explaining why they received the grades and effort marks they did. I find this often helps to alleviate some anxiety that accompanies report cards. Bottom line, of course, everyone has areas with which they should be very proud and we all have areas at which we can improve (adults included).

1) Extra Story Map time this week, including some "No Laptop" time, (more artistic time) so plan appropriately
2) Grade 7 Mesopotamia test date Monday December 15
3) Christmas/Holiday Party Thursday (student organized)
***Also, a large part of our novel study is a story map (like a comic book) due December 16. I am giving LOTS of school time (including much of the afternoon today, Friday, but you might want to ensure your child is on pace to finish without being too stressed towards the end.
We had an informational meeting today for all of the Grade 6s and 7s in the school informing that we are planning to go to Cypress Mountain again for cross country skiing, snow shoeing and inner tubing. Our trips are planned for Friday Feb 6 and Friday Feb 13. I am not sending a notice home at this time; that will happen in the New Year. The biggest piece of information I wanted to get across was to start looking to collect/borrow appropriate clothing for the mountain. I have said that with this much notice, it is hoped that no one will have to buy snow pants, snow jackets, appropriate helmets for inner tubing, etc (for this last one, the mountain had enough to lend last year, though I suppose we cannot count on that for this year).

My apologies for not writing this past week; my absence was unavoidable. I left a good amount of work for TOCs to do with the class. We made a list as a class of the important work today and we will mark much of that as a group where possible on Monday. While I am not listing that work here on the blog, I believe ample school time was given to complete it, and any work that is not completed (barring a student's absence), I would expect that work to be finished on their own time soonafter.
For today, all we have is:
*1) Page 56 Gr. 7 SS for Monday (this was done with a TOC this week and everyone said they wouldn't have any trouble finishing it)
*2) Students know about upcoming quizzes and tests - math quiz both grades; Gr. 7 SS test; Gr. 6 SS and Science quiz - specific dates to be given next week and where needed, study time in class will be given

Hello. What a busy day. Lots of time to get caught up on the different projects we have on the go. I can tell you that we have been having our wireless network upgraded in the last two days, so many students could not print off their Journal #6 for the novel study yesterday when it was officially due. Due to that unforeseen problem, any Journals that were not turned in yesterday were not late if they came in today. However, I noticed several students did not turn them in today (and they had lots of time to work on them). At this time of year, it's very important to keep up to date with the work.

***I realize there are two Grade 6 tests announced and no Gr 7 tests. The latter are coming; their units are just a little longer.
ALSO, I will give the Grade 6s time IN SCHOOL to study for both the Math and Science tests. In fact, they already started today, with time to make individual study notes for Science!!
***Constable Doolin came in today and talked to the kids about some really important information about Halloween and a few other items. As a result, however, we didn't have time to work on our novel study, so the work that was supposed to be due today will now be due tomorrow (after time given in class).

Monday 20 October, 2014
This afternoon, I went over the novel study we will be beginning soon on Survival in the Wilderness. I have provided several options for books for the kids to read. If anyone wants to read something different, I would ask that they run that by me beforehand. Also, I would never expect parents to have to buy a book when I have provided so many options for the kids. I aim to start reading the novel Thursday and assignments will begin next week. Please ask your child to share the (admittedly wordy - I had to be explicit) criteria as well as all of the dates, which should be in their planners from now until December 16th! This novel study has produced some very interesting work in the past, and I look forward to more inspired work this year.
*1) Gr. 6 Immunization forms Wednesday
*2) Math Gr. 6 2 graphs due Tuesday; ; sheet D4 Wednesday
Gr. 7 Qs 1-3 (done in partners, but lots of school time given) due Tuesday; follow up sheet 1.3 Wednesday
3) Short Story questions (Gr. 7 The Visitor) due Tuesday
6) Grade 6 SS Collage Thursday (two and a half to three classes have been given to this already in school)
7) Grade 7 Science Investigation Thursday

*** Well, after showing the blog to about eighteen sets of parents yesterday, I think I forgot to hit "Publish" when it was all said and done, so I've forgotten which assignments were put up yesterday.
