Friday, Feb. 14

1.  Thank you very much to all those that were able to send in vegetables, fruit, cookies, candy, etc. for our Valentines Party!  We had a very competitive/loud fun Math relay game and then we composed our Love Earth songs and performed them in front of the class.  The students are always very grateful and thankful and I really all parents; you are obviously teaching your kids some strong morals and values.


2.  Students are working hard on their Holes project.  They have completed their Holes vocabulary; some chose to redo (which I do not always allow, but I did this time) and received extra half points toward their mark.  They have had 7 sessions in groups to work on a group project.  We were going to have Friday, Feb. 21 be our special day for Novel Study presentations, but there is a Pro-D.  Thus, we will  do presentations on Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 24 and 25.  They also have 2 character descriptions to finish next week. Then we will watch the movie to see the differences between the novel and movie.

There was no homework for the students except if they were overdue on anything.

Skating is also this Wednesday, Feb. 19, 10:45 until 12:00.  That means Mrs. Kossey and the students and drivers will leave from the school at 10ish and return at 12:20 or so.  Drivers who indicated they could drive are:  Cali-2, Brielle-2, Emily-3, Aleah-2, Kendra-6, Gareth-5, Samuel-3, Devaki-3, Jaime-2, Trevor- 4.

That is enough for 32 students so if a parent has to cancel, please let Mrs. Kossey know by Tuesday.  Thanks so much for helping drive!
