Good Afternoon,
I hope you are enjoying this beautiful weekend. What a wonderful way to welcome fall!!
ELA--I will be checking reading logs on Monday for 150 min. of reading as well as Agendas for signatures. The students have had some time this week to start working on their Scrapbook/Timeline/Autobiography project. Please help your student by finding pictures of them to go with each year of their life. They can be digital or we can photocopy/print them in color at the school. I will be giving the students more time this week to work on this project as well as next week. My tentative due date is Oct. 7 (Friday before Thanksgiving). Two Reader Responses for September are due on Friday, Sept. 30.
Math--Both grades are working on Ch. 1. with tests by the end of the week.
Social Studies--We have begun Ch. 1 with an introduction to the text book.
The students worked on a landscape picture with watercolors with Ms. Kuhl. Most of them have completed it and they will be displayed on our bulletin board sometimes this week.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns via email or call the school.

First Day Update--Sept. 7, 2011
I hope everyone had a great day and all are ready for a full day of classes tomorrow.
I apologize for any confusion at the end of the day because of Shops. I spoke with everyone that I met with for home visits/phone calls that Shops would be this afternoon but some of you may have missed the reminder email that I tried to send on the weekend or forgot. I had an intermittent email connection and it looks as though it didn't send out. Again, I am very sorry.
Shops Information--Students are to walk directly from BSLS to Nelson Macintyre Collegiate after lunch recess on every Day 2, p.m. They have approximately 15 minutes to walk and be settled in their classroom at the high school. Mrs. McCrea, Miss Kuhl and I walked them there today and they were a bit late. Students are to be picked up at Nelson Macintyre at 3:45 when Shops is over. You can arrange a meeting place with your child. You should only transport your child from Nelson Macintyre. If your child is registered in the After School Program at BSLS then they should walk directly back to BSLS when dismissed. There will be a group of students returning to the school. If they do not return by 4:00 we will be calling parents and emergency contacts as we will assume they are missing! Students are not allowed to stop at 7-11 or any other place on the way to or from Shops. These rules will be reviewed again with the group tomorrow. It is extremely important for you to arrange a pick-up plan and location for your student. If they are not registered in the After School Program we will assume you have picked them up and are not our responsibility. A Shops Calendar should have gone home today with your child. If you have any questions, please let me know.
School Supplies--The students sorted through their supplies today. They will slowly organize their binders for their subjects this week. Students should bring a 2-pocket folder for their Writing Folder. This is an addition to their supply list.
Home Reading--By the end of the week the students will receive information about their Home Reading Program. They must have you sign a log for 150 minutes of reading each week. It is their responsibility to bring the log to you and have it signed for Monday for me to check. The first Monday will be Sept. 19.
Agenda--I will check their agenda for daily signatures each Monday. Again, it is their responsibility to write down their homework each day and have you sign it. This is in preparation for Gr. 9.
Canteen--Canteen will open next week for milk and mostly healthy food choices.
Welcome--Ms. Kuhl, a teacher candidate from the University of Winnipeg, is in our classroom for most of the year. She is in her last year of Education and will be completing teaching blocks with us this year. Katarina Greer is a new student in our class who comes from Victoria, BC. We hope they both have an enjoyable year.
Contact Information--Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. You can call me at the school, 984-9600, or email me at lbishop@bsls.ca.
