Classroom News - Feb. 28

Happy Monday!

I hope the February Break treated everyone GREAT!

As part of the Adventure Ed. program, students will be heading out to Deer Park on Wednesday, March 2 to enjoy an afternoon of Cross-Country Skiing.  Students MUST dress for appropriate winter weather - touque, jacket, ski pants, mitts, etc.  Cross-Country Skiing equipment will be provided (boots, skis and poles).  YAHOO!

With the end of February upon us, that also means that our Term 2 Report Cards are coming soon - Friday, March 11 to be exact.  In order to get everything organized before this deadline, I have set the "first Friday after the Feb. Break" - Friday, March 4 - as the FINAL DAY of Term 2.  All Term 2 assignments/homework MUST be handed-in by this date.  Those students who fail to meet this deadline may earn an "Insufficient Evidence" (IE) on their report card.

Art - Color/Blending Wheels (x4) (Friday, March 4)

Art - Term 2 Sketchbook (Friday, March 4)
