Remembrance Day

All parents are encouraged to attend the Remembrance Day ceremony that our class is running. It begins at 9:30 am in the gym. Our class remembrance video will be shown at the ceremony.

Remembrance Day

Our class is helping to run the Remembrance Day ceremony. Miss. Sturgeon has requested that students fill in tonight's homework sheet regarding family history. Students are to ask/inquire if any family members fought in WWI, WWII or any other wars. If relatives are Peacekeepers (currently), that can be included as well. We are creating a video for the ceremony.

Math Workshop

Please note that Miss. Sturgeon (and Mr. Costa) will be busy with a math workshop on a few days coming up this week and next week. Miss. Sturgeon's days so far (most are half days) are Thursday, Friday, Monday and possibly Wednesday. During those days your child will be taught by a supply teacher. As it is a lot of days at once, if a problem or question arises that is not responded to right away, it may be that Miss. Sturgeon was not there that day and has not yet received the message. She is not ignoring you. She will respond ASAP. Thanks!

ps- You may wish to review best behaviour for a supply with your child. They are our guest teachers and deserve respect as much as a regular class teacher!

Thank You Parents

Thanks to all of you who sent in baked goodies or purchased treats for our Halloween Party. It was a fabulous afternoon with Halloween themed cooperative games, prizes, a small dance and of course a 'Boo'ffet table spread full of food. The students behaved beautifully, ensuring that we can have a similar party at Christmas. Thanks so much for helping to make it a success. Parties are less fun without the food. :)

Digital Parenting

There is a great workshop coming up in November dealing with Parenting in the Digital age. The information has been sent home. Please take time to check out the workshops. They are excellent and offer many tips about everything from Facebook and your child, to online homework help.

Vote Analysis

Looking at the graph (on the right) where students went home and voted...it looks like Arts and Gym won as the favourite subjects! We will have to keep doing lots of neat artistic activities this year and have fun working out in gym.
