VACCINATION
I sent home notices about students receiving the H1N1 (swine) flu shots. Whether you DO or you DON'T want them to have the shots, please fill the forms out and return them by Friday. It will save your getting a phone call from Kathy or Janice.
LANGUAGE ARTS
Next week we are starting a project with a class in St.Catharine's, Ontario. It is literature circles, and all students are required to read a novel by the Canadian author Eric Walters. All students have received their books now, and they are required to have read certain passages by certain dates. More information on that in the next day or two.
Because of this, I am giving time in class (15 minutes daily) and assigning reading as the only homework (30 minutes a night). It is very important that the students keep up with their reading, because they are in groups, and the group members are counting on each other's participation.
UPCOMING...
November 11 - Remembrance Day, no school
November 16 or so - report cards sent home
November 18,19 - Parent Teacher conferences
November 19,20 - no school for students
