Weekly Update November 6, 2011
It was great to see many of you last night at the Fall Supper! What a wonderful and successful evening! Thanks to all of the parents who participated in some way to make this event a fabulous family event as well as profitable!
The Hobbit--The students will be seeing the Hobbit on Tuesday a.m. at 9:45. MTYP has indicated that they have a no outdoor shoe policy for this play. The students are welcome to carry their indoor shoes with them and slip them on inside the theater when they take their outside shoes off, or they can go in socked feet. MTYP also has a no food/no drink (including candy and gum) as well as a no fragrance policy. I am asking that the students all wear their blue BSLS shirts for this event as well. I have lots of drivers so I will let parents know who will be driving for this event tomorrow via email. The play should last until approximately 11:00 and we will leave at 9:15. Mrs. Isaac will be accompanying the students to the play as I have an appointment. I will be at the school in the morning to organize the students and the vehicles. Thanks in advance for all of the volunteers.
Shops--Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately to walk to Shops. The weather is changing and they will be expected to walk to shops no matter what the weather is.
ELA--I will be checking reading logs on Monday for 150 min. of reading as well as Agendas for signatures. Students have completed and presented their Creative Writing Story on Halloween. The students continued to work on adjectives and adverbs this week. Four Reader Responses for November will be due on Nov. 25. Students will be working on Remembrance Day activities this week and a Listener Response on the Hobbit.
Math--Gr. 8s are working on Ch. 3, the Pythagorean Theorem involving square roots and perfect squares. The Gr. 7s have completed Ch. 2. They should have brought home a test over the weekend for signing. They have begun Ch. 3 and we have looked at parallel and perpendicular line segments.
Social Studies--We are continuing to work on Ch. 2 on The Early Peoples. We will also be working on Remembrance Day activities.
Religion--This week we will be presenting the "Tool Box" for Pastor Schnarr during chapel.
Art--The students completed a Water Color Mural with Ms. Kuhl for Fall Supper. They each had one part of a 15 piece picture and enlarged it from a small 3 cm square to a normal piece of paper. If you saw it at the Fall Supper, it looked great!! The mural will be up on our bulletin board this week to see.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns via email or call the school.
