Friday, Jan. 11

1.  Skating error!  Sorry, we are only skating on Friday, Jan. 18th, leaving at 12:30, not on Jan. 15 or Jan. 20.  My mistake; I was looking at Mrs. Kossey's other class schedule on our calendar!  Sorry.
2.  Grammar sheets- 2 should be done. Lots of time in class.
3.  Math- pg 175- optional to work on more questions or wait until Monday.  Calculators are only permitted for making guesses as part of the steps within the questions.  Students must still show all work. WE are going between long and short division.  They should understand how to do both.  Students who still have not memorized multiplication facts will find short division harder.
4.  Hot dog orders, Scholastic orders and Science Project permission forms are due Monday.  It is a good idea to buy a Display board for your Science Project soon. This will visually remind and motivate your child.  Gathering background info. off the computer can be very helpful, if not required, in order to do a project. Also, your child can ask me for any paper, colored paper, glue, and other supplies and I will do my best to round them up. 
5.  McGowan Carnival night:  Our class is supposed to bring in any Movie theme "stuff" in order to help the parents put together a Movie basket for fund raising.  Items I might suggest include:  New DVDs, used DVDs wrapped in saran wrap, Paramount or Odeon gift certificates, packs of licorice, chocolate, smarties, candy, 12 pack pop or 2 litre pop, money to put toward gift cards, big bags of popcorn or chips, popcorn packets, packs of gum.  We will collect for a few weeks. Thanks for helping the PAC!!
