Classroom News - Feb. 14

Happy Valentine's Day!  

Ask your son/daughter about our "spreading kindness/compliments" activity from today.

For tomorrow's (Tuesday, Feb. 15) Adventure Ed. class, students must dress for appropriate outdoor weather - as we will spending some time at Heritage Heights Park.  Students are also encouraged to bring skates and a helmet (if skating) and/or hockey equipment (if wanting to play hockey/shinny).  

With the February Break soon upon us (and, thereafter, the end of February), 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.

Homework:
Math - 11.4-11.7 Solving Type I Equations (Tuesday, Feb. 15)
ELA - Picture Book (Wednesday, Feb. 16)
ELA - Wordless Picture Book Assignment (Thursday, Feb. 17)
