October 27

Just a reminder that parent-teacher interviews are quickly approaching as they are being held on November 8th & 9th at our school.  I have sent home a interview time request form, hoping that parents can fill this out with approximate times that would work for them and I will do my best to accommodate you! :)  Please send it back to me with your child once you have it filled out. 

On Monday, October 31st, students will be allowed to bring in Halloween treats if they would like to.  They do not HAVE to, but I will be giving them some time to have treats and play some games.  I hope everyone has a great weekend and a safe and happy Halloween!! :)

October 17-19

Just a reminder that this is a short week for students as it is the annual Teacher's Convention on Thursday October 21and Friday October 22 .  This week we will be continuing to work on the Self-Monitoring strategy while reading as well as persuasive writing techniques.  In grade 6 Math, we have started a new unit on Patterns and Equations. We will also be talking about different types of transportation that have existed on Prince Edward Island. 

On Tuesday October 18th, we will be having a pep ralley in the morning for our school athletes and all students are encouraged to wear red, black and white. 

Have a great week everyone! :)

October 3rd- 7th

This week we have started focusing on persuasive writing during our Writer's Workshop and after much discussion and preparation will begin writing these pieces tomorrow!  In math, we are focusing on Integers for the rest of the week and will be having a Unit 2 test near the beginning of next week.  Social Studies has been interesting with the election happening this week and the students were able to spark some really great conversations regarding this topic as they are very knowledgable about the current election!  Also, don't forget to ask your child about the 'Keyword' of the day.   I would like to thank the students and families for donating money to cancer research through our school with the recent pie throwing event.  Our school was able to raise more than $800 and this is to the credit of the students and their families, so thank-you again! :)  A job well done.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving weekend!
