Classroom News - Nov. 30

Happy Monday!

It is hard to believe that we are at the end of another month of school.  Where has the time gone!?!?

Please return the report card envelope (you can keep the actual report card), as well as the Term 1 "portfolio" binder.

Our 5/6ME class has chosen to add some "Holiday Cheer" to our school days for the month of December.  This Friday, Dec. 4 will be "Mad for Plaid" day - wear your best plaid shirt, pants, etc. 

Also, students have asked to have a 5/6ME Secret Santa.  This will be an optional activity for those who choose to participate.  The gifts will be exchanged on the last day of school (Friday, Dec. 18).  However, please return your gift idea by Monday, Dec. 14 (to allow for proper COVID procedures).  Lastly, please keep your costs between $8 - $10.  Let us know if you have any questions or concerns.  HO HO HO!  

Homework:
Math 5 - Intro to Fractions (Tuesday, Dec. 1)
Math 6 - Division by 10, 100, 1000's (Tuesday, Dec. 1)
Social 6 - Atlantic Countries Map (Tuesday, Dec. 1)
Science 5 - Create-a-Skeleton (Wednesday, Dec. 2)
Science 6 - Sources of Electricity (Wednesday, Dec. 2)

Reminders:
- If interested, the SCC "In Good Taste" fundraiser is due on Wednesday, December 2.  If you are paying by e-Transfer, our School Community Council will now accept payment via mcknollscc@gmail.com.  YUMMY!
