Classroom News - Jan. 26

To my understanding, the 7M class decided to NOT go ahead with today's Adventure Ed. plans due to the "windy" conditions.  However, if the weather improves, our 7M class will go either tomorrow (Thursday, Jan. 27) or Friday, Jan. 28 - to enjoy tobogganing, skating and/or hockey at Weinmaster Park.  As before, for those who plan on tobogganing, please bring your own sled.  For those who plan on skating or playing hockey, you must bring your own skates and helmet.  Hockey players must only play with a soft shinny or ball (NO PUCKS).  YIPPEE!

Just a reminder, please ensure that you son/daughter has an extra pair of "headphones" at the school - to be used for assignments while using the Chromebooks.  Thanks in advance!

Homework:
ELA - Small Group Reading #3 (OVERDUE)
Math - Intro to Algebra (OVERDUE)
Social - Cultural Comparison Google Slides (Friday, Jan. 28)
Social - What in the World Articles (x2) (Friday, Jan. 28)
ELA - Small Group Reading #4 (Wednesday, February 2)

Reminders:
- Enjoy reading Charlotte's Web with your family - as part of the "One School, One Book Family Reading Program".
- There will be NO SCHOOL for students next Monday, January 31 and Tuesday, February 1.  These are professional development days for all GSSD staff.  Students will return to school on Wednesday, February 2.  AWESOME!!
