Tuesday, January 21

A busy morning getting ready to share our winter break writing with you.  I've had an overwhelming response.  I was hoping 5 or 6 parents might be able to stop in but more than 3/4 of the parents in Room 8 are able to join us.  Our Wednesday morning time is now full.  There are 2 spots left in the Friday morning time, and many spots still available on Wednesday at 2:00. Just let me know when you'd like to come and I'll write you down and have your child present then.  No need to sign in at the office; just come on down to Room 8.
Students worked with several different partners and read their writing.  Students wrote their math test and I am sending it home in the green folders.  Each student then had the opportunity to improve their mark on Monday, January 27.  I will take the higher of the two mark to use for their addition assessment.  Also coming home today, is the science magnetism test.  Just a note that the word search on the back was just something for students to do while the rest of the students finished.
In the afternoon we learned more about the climate in Iqaluit and some of the traditional clothing that is worn by the people of the North.  We also had gym with M. Trevor.  Students are working on a routine and M. Trevor was going over the success criteria with students.
