Hi Division 1 Parents,
Our term is now well underway and we’ve got a few things going on.
Our fused glass expert was popular last year and we had the opportunity to book her again this year. She’ll be coming to our class on October 20th. I wasn’t aware that the school secretary had already put up the payment on School Cash but I have now sent home the parent letter associated with this event.
I have also tentatively scheduled a class hike on the Quarry Rock trail for November 14th. This date will likely change as I check the forecast, but it should be a fun day outside. Stay tuned for updated dates!
Also, we have started reading Project Hail Mary together as a novel study for this term. We are reading together in class and I ask that we don’t encourage students to read ahead on this one. Students have a job to complete every third chapter we read together and it’s tricky when students have all read different amounts. Re-reading, however, is great! Unfortunately our district resource which provided class sets of novels is no longer in operation. I have provided a PDF version of the novel to students, but it isn’t ideal and I’ll look to sourcing these physical books in the future. At least the PDF allows for translation and ctrl-f functions!
Lastly, just a friendly reminder to have your child show you their past and upcoming assignments on Teams and in their binders as a way to keep an eye on how they’re doing this term. Our next parent-teacher meetings are in late November but we can chat any time.
