Week of Feb 21

Hi Everyone,

I am so sorry it has taken me until today to get this email out.  I have been battling the flu, not only for myself, but my kids as well.
Because of the hectic days I have had I have only now sent out the problem of the week and writing so I will mark it if it comes back complete, but students can have until Monday to hand it in. 

Writing Prompt:
Who is the person you trust the most? Explain and give examples of things they have done or said to make them a trustworthy person. Write in paragraphs and push yourself to write well-developed, detailed paragraphs. Don't forget about an introductory paragraph and a concluding paragraph.

History Fair:
History Fair is coming quickly.  Students are presenting their projects the week after March Break. Students should be bringing in a back board to work on ASAP.  The majority of time at school has been spent on research and should now be spent on putting the project together. There is still lab time booked and students have ample opportunity to complete the project here.  The board and any fancy paper or decorative elements should be purchased individually.  I have access to construction paper and some art supplies.  If students have a plan and let me know what they need I will do my best to find it in our art supplies here at school.  There is NO access to a colour printer here at school, so if this is an issue for students please have a plan and let me know.  I have a colour printer at home if your family doesn't.

Google search-Grey Roots Heritage Fair to look at some great examples. 

I hope everyone enjoyed their "fog day" and travelled safely.  Hopefully that is the last day that buses are cancelled. 

I will not be at school tomorrow.  I am attending a reading/writing conference in Toronto. 
Report cards will be coming home tomorrow while I am away. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me and we can set up a time to chat. 

Have a great weekend!
