WELCOME!!!

Hello everyone,

Welcome to Mr. McDowell's classroom blog. I am very excited to have a classroom webpage and I hope that you will find it useful. The purpose of this blog is to provide a convenient (and reliable) communication link between students, parents, the school and Mr. McDowell. I invite you to check this blog on a daily basis as I will be posting valuable information about the classroom and the school - including daily homework assignments, important dates, classroom/school news, etc.

For your convenience, you can also sign-up to receive "daily updates" from this blog that automatically gets sent to your email every day there is a new posting. Simply type in your email address into the 'submit' box found on the right side of this blog.

More importantly, if you ever have any questions or concerns about your son/ daughter, please do not hesitate to contact me via phone, email, or this blog:

Classroom News - Apr. 29

Reading is a very important skill. Please encourage your son/daughter to participate in silent reading on a daily basis. And who knows, maybe students can take 'reading tests' at school about their books, and maybe go on a waterslide trip if their classroom wins the 'accelerated reader' contest!?!?!

Reminders:
- If any students are interested in some great track and field experience, there is a Hershey's Outdoor Track and Field Meet scheduled for Saturday, May 9 in Yorkton (forms are due Monday, May 4). Students can collect registration forms from the office.

For Homework:
Social Studies - "Temperature Zone" map colouring and questions #1-4 (due Thursday, Apr. 30)
Spelling 6 - Lesson #17 (review) and test (due Thursday, Apr. 30)
Spelling 7 - Lesson #19 (due Thursday, Apr. 30)
LA - Jounal Entries from March/April (x6) (due Friday, May 1)
