Week of Dec 5

This week is our 5 days of caring food drive.  There is a contest happening-the class with the most points wins a Tim Horton's donut breakfast! There is a special item each day which earns more points. 

Monday-items for children's lunches
Tuesday-baby food (5 jars or 1 box of baby cereal)
Wednesday-Canned fruit or fruit juices
Thursday-Children's cereal
Friday-Any canned mean or stew (eg. flakes of ham, beef stew, etc.)

Peanut butter-any day of the week earns the class 50 points. 
Please send in anything that you can.  A little bit goes a long way!

Science Projects-students have been working on science projects about ecosystems.  There is an outline on the left hand side of the webpage.  We have a full 50 minute period each day this week (and last week we worked for 3 periods as well).  Students should be well on their way to starting their 2D or 3D model of the ecosystem and beginning to write up their explanation piece. 
These projects are due Monday, Dec. 12, 2016.  Students can work at home, but please refrain from offering to much assistance as it makes it difficult to fairly assess.  Giving pointers and feedback and encouraging more details, etc. are great ways to help. 

Dance Extravaganza practice has started.  We are in full swing creating a mash up of dances related to changing seasons.  The whole production is based on the theme of Changes. Students may be borrowing things to prepare their costumes, but they are not expected to have to buy anything.  We have a chart started of things needed that other students may have to let them borrow. 

Friday is a trip to Meaford Hall.  We will be going to see "The Grinch." Permission forms went home last week and should be returned ASAP.  NO SLIP NO TRIP!

Problem of the week and Paragraph of the week will be posted on the webpage and were handed out today. 

Hope everyone has a great week! 
As always, if there are any questions or concerns, please feel free to be in contact.
