English: Mr. Martin's class is working on Independent Novel Studies. On the list of Handouts is a sheet with all the possible project ideas. We are aiming for the novels to be done by early February, but I don't want to rush the great work I know they can produce.
English: Miss. McFarland's class is continuing to read Touching Spirit Bear. Students have been working on their Fakebook pages as we progress through the novel. We are also working on some reading comprehension skills. The reading assessment that students completed prior to the holidays identified some areas of weakness, so we will be practicing these specific skills over the remainder of the school year.
Socials:Miss. McFarland's students are working on an Illustrated History that outlines the events that lead up to the first empires. This assignments requires students to analyze particular developments in world history and determine their importance.
Several students have not returned their signed assessments that were sent home before the holidays. Studetns should have brought home an assessment of their Neanderthal story and a reading assessment. If you have not seen these please ask your son or daughter.
Dance Gala: Today, all the 7's and 8's went to PVSS to watch the wonderful presentation
Notices: Mr. Martin is waiting for several signed notices from parents in regards to the Cathie Peters Reading assessment results, and Incomplete English assignments from the novel Touching Spirit Bear. Please contact Mr. Martin if you are not sure if your child received one.
Ice Fishing?: One of the Winter fun activities the Green Team has chosen to persue is a day at Gardom Lake to participate in several snow activities (no date yet....NO SNOW!) We are hoping to introduce the students to ice fishing. If any parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents enjoy ice fishing, we'd love to have them along to assist us. More information will follow once we get more snow.
