Hello Grade 7s (and families)!

A few reminders:

-any remaining orange consent forms must be returned ASAP! Thank you!

-band tomorrow, please bring your instruments

-treat sale continues on Tuesday! Bring a loonie and buy a treat/support our Grade 7 fundraising!

Another important note: we have our upcoming Grade 7 fundraiser on January 13th. This will be a bottle and can drive. We are looking for Grade 7 students (and parents/guardians) who are able to either volunteer their time, and/or donate recyclables. More information to follow!

Finally, we are in the midst of cold and flu season! Please remember to practice safe and healthy habits, such as frequent handwashing, coughing/sneezing into a tissue, and staying home if you are unwell. I will continue to try and update our blog so that anyone who is absent can stay up-to-date and connected with us!

Wishing everyone well,

-Ms. Ward

Band Today:

Hi Grade 7s,

Ms. Pontalti says that she will try to make it to band today, but she is still feeling quite ill. She wanted me to pass along the message that she misses you all and hopes to be back soon! It is also so important to continue practicing with your instrument at home… you don’t want to loose any progress or forget any of the skills you have learned! Please practice #16, #19, and #26 from your music books.

See you soon,

-Ms. Ward

Over the Garden Wall: Creating Our Theories

Our analysis of Cartoon Network’s mini-series Over the Garden Wall has come to an end! Throughout this month, we have been exploring: important characters, clues and symbols, changes in settings, and key plot events. We also began analyzing the musical soundtrack for different tones, themes, and lyrics. Now, our classes are crafting our own theories about some unanswered questions within the show!
