The following was read on the announcements today. I had the grade 6 class listen to it for 'quality control' to be sure it was of the quality required to be read to the school. The students wanted me to post it on my blog.:)
"Thank you to everyone who brought a litterless lunch to school today. For those of you who did not bring a litterless lunch, please be sure to take all of your lunch garbage home with you. This will help your family to notice just how much garbage is created everday simply from one person's lunch. When we are aware of the garbage we leave on our planet, it might help us to want to create less garbage.
Next week is Earth Week. Every day will be a litterless lunch/boomerang luch day here at Aberfoyle Public School.
Let's go green Aberfolye!"
]]>Litterless/boomerang lunch tomorrow and every Thursday for the rest of the school year.

Grade 6 and 7 math: measurement end-of-unit test tomorrow (6) or Thursday (7). It would be good to practise both total surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.
Grade 6 Flight: Remember to give some thought to the design of the flying device that you will be making on Thursday. Be sure to bring in some recycled materials if you want to control what you will be making your device from (kite making anyone?)
]]>Grades 6 and 7 math, Quiz # 2 for homework.
]]>You will be making paper airplanes or kites or some kind of flying device next Thursday. The date has been postponed due to chess and basketball. The end-of-unit grade 6 measurement test will probably be next Wednesday.

Remember: If you have worked a solid 45 minutes on the math homework and have not completed all of the assigned work, stop and have one of your parents sign your work to show me that you have worked hard for 45 minutes. That is enough time to spend on math homework.:)
]]>
grade 6 science: Flight end-of-unit test next Wednesday. Study skills workshop tomorrow at lunch recess. This is also the time for you to come and get copies of missed notes. Come with a copy of the note(s) you have missed from a friend's notes or come with the title of the note if you don't have a copy.

Tomorrow we will be recognizing Earth Hour. Wear blue and green:)
Tomorrow is also crazy hair day!!!!
]]>The drumming workshop has been temporarily cancelled. Don't worry. I am in the process of rebooking with Tom and will let you know the new date as soon as I know. At this point, it will probably not be before April 6th. Have a beautiful snow day:)
Earth Hour is being recognized all over the world on Saturday evening. In recognition of this, and to show our connection with the world population as we care our planet Earth, Aberfoyle P.S. will be turning off all non-essential electricity on Friday afternoon from 1:20 - 2:20. Friday is also crazy hair day. Everyone is encouraged to wear blue and green to celebrate the Earth. It should be fun!
Remember Litterless/Boomerang Lunch Thursday!
