Time Flies When You're Having Fun!

I can't believe it's only 3 weeks until Christmas! The weather isn't helping, either. Where is my snow??

Thanks to all of you who scheduled interviews on Thursday night - it was great to see so many of you.

We have a very busy week ahead:


Monday - Winter Elective Assembly, rough copy of French narrative story due
Tuesday - Grade 4s - test on the map of Canada, burgers & subs from Friday's PD Day
Wednesday - Book Report presentations - yum yum!
Thursday - French play presentations to select primary classes, Storybird assignment due

Plus all week we'll be practising our number for 'Santa Goes Green', this year's junior holiday musical.

See? Education can be fun!

For the past 2 weeks, I've been cramming the kids' heads full of information about our military history from World War I to Afghanistan. And, as their journals this week show, they all learned something! They all understand why Remembrance Day is so important, and they truly appreciate the sacrifices that our soldiers went through to give us the life we are free to lead.

Our Remembrance Day Service this morning went off perfectly - I am so proud of my little monsters!

Back to a regular work week on Monday - I'm prepared for the whining and complaining. In math, we're moving into adding and subtracting of multiple digit numbers. In French, we're still working on conjugating regular -er verbs in grammar, and we'll begin writing our narratives in language arts.

Have a wonderful weekend!
