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 - Sept. 8

Hello again!

I hope the long-weekend treated everyone well!

Students will need appropriate outdoor clothing for tomorrow's Adventure Ed. class (windy, sunny, etc.)

If your son/daughter would like to join the "MC Knoll Milk Program", please return the form and appropriate money ASAP.  Grade 7 students can still purchase milk through the canteen if this form isn't returned though.

Also, if your son/daughter has volunteered to be a member of the "MC Knoll Safety Patrol", please sign and return the form by Friday, Sept. 11.

As I mentioned last week, I am scheduled for a knee scope tomorrow (Wednesday, Sept. 9) - with an expected recovery time of two weeks.  Therefore, I am expecting to be out of the building from Wednesday, Sept. 9 until Friday, Sept. 18 (could be earlier or later).  Mrs. Wonsiak will be the students substitute teacher.  I will most likely not be updating the blog during this time.  I trust that your son/daughter will be keeping you informed of the coming events, homework, etc.


I will hopefully see everyone sooner...than later!

Homework:
Science - Scientist Wanted Posters (Friday, Sept. 11)

ELA - Sept. Writing Folder (Friday, Oct. 2)

Reminders:

- The following forms are now OVERDUE
        - Classroom Guidelines and Expectations sheet (yellow) 
        - Classroom Blog sheet (purple)
        - Adventure Ed. form and $30 fee (white)

        - Student Registration Form (white booklet)
