Good Evening all,

Tonight students need to do some work on their culminating language activity which is a front page recreation of a newspaper.  The main focus are the styles of writing we've looked at which include focusing on the five w's.  Tomorrow students will put the final touches on their creation and then hand it in for assessment.

Have a great night!

News and Notes for November 30th, 2011

Happy November 30th 2011 everyone!  Hard to believe that December is here already!  I must apologize for not posting recently.  It seems like every second day we are out of the building or I'm out of the building.  December should be better, not too much going on leading up to the break.  Just a reminder that Breakfast with Santa is on Saturday from 7:30am until 10:00am. We would love to see you there.  I will be there as always, cooking sausages with my partner in crime -Mr. P.  If you didn't know, this week we had a presentation from our representative from Skills Canada-Ontario who spoke to us about jobs in trades.  As you may or may not know, our school takes participates in the regional, upper grand skills competiton in April.  We are very much looking forward to another great year- we are hoping to compete again in the seven disciplines.  Tonight students have math, chapter 3.4 questions 1-10 and should be working on their culminating task in language.  All students know what they are doing, they just need to do some over the next couple of nights. 

Hope you have a great evening!

MM
