We have some pretty cool new things to start in January. The first is a favourite: our gym program: skating trips. Yes, it counts as part of physical education...not just a fun trip.
Please see the dates and times sent home. The first skate time is next week. There are TWO forms to complete. They are as follows; the signature 'permission' that you are aware they are skating, and the second is information/medical/contacts for emergency. Please complete both. The latter is stapled in the agenda so it won't get lost.
We need to know ahead of time if your child does not have skates or a helmet (bike helmet is fine). This way, we can try to find extras or share.
We are beginning AN AMAZING PROGRAM that we are super excited about. Our school board has paired up with MATHLETICS..and wonderful and fun math site. Some homework will be assigned on Mathletics. Students have their private logins already. We will do some in class, and some at home. If you do not have internet access at home, please let me know so your child can do some extra work in class.
