This week in Learning:

MATH: Continuing with angles. Students should be getting quite adept at using their protractors. When correcting, I give them a 2 degree leeway either way, so they should be close enough.
We are also writing problems for others to solve, as a sort of "Escape Room" game. 

SCIENCE: students are putting the finishing details on their aliens and planet brochures. They will be due Friday so as to present right away after Christmas. Astronomie Tests go home today to be signed. Please return asap. Thanks

SOCIAL: finishing greek pamphlets.. Due this Friday. Tomorrow is Greek day. Dress in togas to take full advantage of the experience. The gym is booked from 2h15-3h15 for the actual games. It is always a highlight of the unit.

FLA: finishing the novel study. There will not a be quiz on the novel, as the project should indicate that comprehension took place. Projects to be handed in Friday.

ELA: students are completing the myth story and art project that goes with it. Again, they are due this Friday to be presented after Christmas. 

RELIGION: continuing with the 3rd week of Advent (JOY). How will we bring joy to others this last week of school. We will start to  compile Warm socks this afternoon and they will be delivered Thursday to the MUSTARD SEED. Thank you for donating generously.💚

OTHER: 
Party and pyjama day Thursday
Advent celebration Friday 1pm

The students wanted to do a secret santa before Christmas, however it is going to be difficult, given the absence of some over the course of the week. We came up with an alternative. For those wanting to participate, they will buy a neutral gift up to 10$, wrap the gift and then on the day of our party, we will draw numbers to pick from the pile. Others who choose after the first one, will have the choice of stealing gift #1 or choosing a new gift. It is meant to be fun and not to be taken too seriously. Participation is optional. The gifts should arrive at school by Wednesday.

Also, speaking of our party, it will take place on Thursday all day, as it is also pyjama day. We will watch a film, play games and celebrate the coming of Jesus. Students have been signing up for snacks to share.(Please ensure that they are nut-free or at least ingredients indicated).
