Gingerbread decorating contest today! Thanks to all who brought one in. Raffle tickets will be sold tomorrow and Thursday and draw will take place Thursday @ 11h30. 

This week in Learning:
FLA: I am going to try and wrap up the novel study before Christmas, which means that chapter 5 and 6 will be this week, 7 next week. Vocabulary words are on this BLOG and summaries should be up-to-date.

ELA: working on prefixes and continuing the research on Greek gods. I also hope to finalize that before the holidays. If you are behind, light a fire behind your behind!

MATH: continuing decimals. We have finished multiplying and are moving onto dividing them.

SOCIAL: I had hoped to move onto Ancient Greece, but that has been delayed a bit. Postcards on "Horton" are due this Friday. Some students still have not done their current events project. Are you one them?

RELIGION: Advent preparation and covenants. We will also be presenting Social justice projects all next week.

ART: painting galaxies with acrylic paints.

MUSIC: students will self-evaluate their performance and preparation for the Christmas concert. We will begin a research/ analysis of a French song/artist.

Last note:
SEVERAL students are NOT changing for Physical Education. This is NOT an option but a requirement. Their health mark is affected if they do not change. As adolescents their sweat glands are working overtime and they need a change a clothes so that they do not stink all day long. Please bring a change, if not for them, for me! Thank you for your cooperation.
