Hello Parents!
Today the students started off their day with Gym. Following that, they had their Unit 9 Math test on Length, Perimeter and Area. Once they were finished, they either read quietly, or finished up their UOI worksheets. After lunch, we read chapter 8 in our novel study book, and then students were instructed to create a poem like Shannen did. Once everyone finished, they all presented their poems in front of the class, and then we got ready for second break.
After break, the students had French, and then they filled out their agendas when they got back to class. We discussed my expectations for tomorrow, as I will be away at a professional development workshop for the day. I reminded the students about being respectful, and how important it is to be listening at all times. I will be back on Thursday, and we will discuss possible Earth Day activities for Friday.
Just a few important notes before I go:
1.       Novel Study: read chapter 8 and write a corresponding journal entry (topic of your choice). Please make sure these journal entries are at least one page, and are written in cursive writing!
2.       Just a reminder, students are now allowed to wear their Spring Uniforms to school!
3.       The Spring Fundraiser forms (see the list below) will be due on Wednesday, April 19th. The pledge forms will be due on Friday, April 28th. Students who raise $35 or more in pledge money will attend a laser tag trip for free!
·         Monday, April 24th : Costume ($3)
·         Tuesday, April 25th: Popcorn ($2.50/ bag)
·         Wednesday, April 26th: Pancakes (Starting at $2)
·         Thursday, April 27th: Ice cream sundaes ($5)
·         Friday, April 28th: Dance Party ($5)
4.       Friday, April 21st is Earth Day, and students are encouraged to dress up in Earth colours.
5.       Due to the amount of lost items, the school is promoting iron-on name labels! They cost $5.00 for 15 labels- I can provide the order form, if you are interested!

That’s pretty much it for today. I hope everyone has a wonderful night!
