Thursday, Feb. 5

1.  Carnival stuff for baskets-thanks.
2.  Family Under the Bridge test- wow!  Great marks! Average score was 26 out of 29 for grade 4 students, 32 out of 37 for grade 5 students. Thanks for studying!  Please note that if kids are on vacation or sick, etc.., they still must take most tests when they return.  Thank you for your understanding.

3.  Agenda check is Friday- kids do not require parent signatures, but they are expected to show me that their notes are comprehensive and accurate with fairly correct spelling, capitals, etc..

4.  Paragraphs- Ocean-
 sick kids did not have to do one.
 Due Friday...hopefully edited by peer or parent for spelling, punctuation and grammar (not their ideas).  You point out their errors; they fix them.

5.  Kids have earned Special Friday, which is ART day.  We will be making our brown paper bag art for novel study, finishing our ocean themed watercolour art and doing some Chinese New Year Goat zen doodles, etc...
