I have been slacking with the blog posts lately- oops!

I hope you all enjoyed our second last Genius Hour today.... I wonder how many of us we have made geniuses out of so far...

Our Refugee novel has got us all on the edge of our seats this week. What great writing! The fact that these events actually happen in the world today has been teaching us the importance of having compassion and empathy for others.

The FSA's are now all marked. They will not be sent home with reports, but parents should expect to receive them soon. They have no impact on a student's report card or grade.

For Xtramath, a reminder that it can be accessed via your parent's email if they sign up. Otherwise, use bridnilorcain@gmail.com (email), your first name, and PIN (in planner)

We are still waiting for a few consent forms to come in for our Dec. 21 field trip to Science World.

The Parish Bazaar is this Saturday. PLEASE BRING IN THOSE CANDY JARS- WE COULD WIN A PIZZA PARTY!!! Band students are performing, don't forget! Also volunteers needed for the pancake breakfast that morning- contact Rozana to sign up :)

Finally, if any of your parents would like to help us grade 6-7 teachers sort some costumes for the Christmas concert, we could use a hand. Please email to volunteer.

Our Core Competency reflections are coming along well for reports! I hope you are all excited (not worried or stressed) regarding new Socials activity. Feel free to chat with me if you have suggestions for tweaking it, would like accommodations so that it STAYS FUN FOR YOU :)

I was thrilled to finally get back to our Refugee novel as well today! Hopefully we can spend more time with this over the coming weeks.

Finally, you all know your roles for the Christmas concert. Most of you will be in the band section at the beginning. The attire is dark pants and white shirts.

Some of you have roles such as wisemen, shepherds, main characters, solo singers and dancers. Such characters will be dressed in "Biblical" type clothing. Us teachers will try to source these costumes. Any items from home that could be contributed would also be appreciated!

I hope you all didn't miss me too much the last two days! Thank you all for your concern. I am not quite 100% better just yet but I am getting there. I am sure my stack of marking this weekend will bring me back to reality fast!

Well done to the girls volleyball team- I cannot believe you beat the teachers today! It was SUCH an exciting game!!

Wishing you all a wonderful long weekend.

Happy All Souls Day!

We missed our friend Luciana on her birthday today, but rumour has it she received the best birthday present ever!!!!

Good luck to the v-ball girls today in our grade 7 class. I will also be at a game with the grade 6 team (hence the early blog update).


God bless!
