Month: January 2021

Students are preparing their Humans of the Land blog, to be shared later this week when they share their Blogfolios with parents/families. They have been preparing to share their best work in writing, ADST and this latest, the Humans of the Land blogpost.

Students: don’t forget to share an electronic copy of a picture you’d like to include in this latest blog. Monday I will need to have all pictures received. If you only have a hard copy picture, please snap a picture with your device or bring it to school and I will do it. Thank you!

Due to last Forest Friday being cancelled, we’ve rescheduled for this Friday. Sorry for the short notice, though Div. 1 has known since this Monday, so hopefully we are all ready now! Weather is calling for cool, crisp skies but sunny! My favourite!

Parents:

A notice will be going home shortly re: a non-formal point of progress happening before the end of the month. Students have prepared some writing samples with reflections on their strengths and next goals for the coming term. We will be having a blogfolio share, with reflections on some of their best and favourite work! I will let you know when we are ready!

Just a few reminders for this month:

• This Thursday is TWIN DAY. Find a friends to be twins with!
• This Friday is Forest Friday – Jan. 15th (9:30-12:30)
• This Friday is also BLACK shirt day. We celebrate Black Lives by learning more about Black History and wearing a black t-shirt this Friday.  Div. 1: you can bring a shirt to wear after we return from Forest Friday.
• Science:  UNIT test in EVOLUTION. A study guide has been handed out and should help, but it is not ALL. Please gather all your notes from Clearly Stated videos and PowerPoint to help with this.
  • Div. 2 test is next Tue., Jan .19th
  • Div. 1 test is next Thur.,  Jan 21st

Wondering where the online Homework Board is?

This has been moved to Teams. Science and Socials have their own channels in Teams, while I have a separate Team for Ms. Lanaway’s Math 6/7 Math Group. Parents: if you’d like access to this information, you will have to have your child sign into Office365 and into Teams for you.

* Please dress for the weather this Friday. We go RAIN OR SHINE. If it’s sunny, it might be cold! Dress warmly and bring gloves.
