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 - Jan. 5

Our 7M class were introduced to TypingClub.com - a free program that teaches students the lifelong skill of "how to use a computer keyboard" properly.   Ask your son/daughter about it...and maybe even challenge them to a typing competition or two!

Also, MC Knoll School officially launched the "One School, One Book Family Reading Program" today - where we encourage ALL families to read Charlotte's Web by E.B. White.  A free copy of the book and some information was sent home today with your son/daughter.  Happy Reading!  

Homework:
Math - Intro to Integers (Thursday, Jan. 6)
Music - Musicals Test (Friday, Jan. 7)

Reminders:
- With ALL of the snow that has arrived, be sure to dress appropriately for outdoor recess and our upcoming Adventure Ed. classes - winter jacket, mitts, touque, boots, etc.
