Parent Newsletter

It is hard to believe that it is already November!
October was a very busy month for us all.
Camp was a great experience and everyone should be proud of all their accomplishments as well as their kind, inclusive behavior!  Some of the camp staff commented that our group was one of the most respectful groups that they had worked with in a very long time!
Thanks to everyone who helped make camp possible – including parent volunteers, our dedicated fundraising organizer, parent council, administration and office staff, teachers, Educational Assistants and of course Camp Arnes staff.
Students have now completed their “Identity Projects”, including their formal paragraphs and collage. I am in the process of assessing these now.  Expect these to come home in the near future. 
Students from 5/6 Wood have also been working in groups to write about some of the activities they participated in at camp.  These are posted on this blog for your reading pleasure.  Well done grade 5's and 6's.
We are currently focusing on “Body Systems” in Science and the history of First Peoples in Canada in Social Studies.
Please continue to encourage your students to practice math facts daily (in provided booklets and /or online – we are now set up on “Xtra Math”) and read every day.
