Classroom News - Dec. 17

Ask your son/daughter about today's Math test - Fractions...as well as about our "end-of-the-day" celebration activity - karaoke singing.

I hope everyone has a restful holiday. 

We will see you back on Tuesday, Jan. 4, 2022!

Homework:
Read a good book...or two!

Reminders:
- Our first day back from after Christmas Break is Ribbon Skirt/Shirt Day.  Ribbon skirts have many different meanings to different people but when an Indigenous person wears a skirt, she is using her clothing to demonstrate the strength and beauty of Indigenous people and culture.  It shows the world who they are and represents their identity as an Indigenous person.  To honour this day, we invite staff and students to wear clothing that represents the same message for them; to wear something that shows the world who you are.
