This has been explained to the class, but instructions will be posted on my
blog as well!

In Math, Grade 4-6 will be doing Geometry. Grade 7-8 will be focusing on
Fractions, Decimals, and Percents. Grade 9 will be working on polygons and
measurement.
-
In Science, each student will be teaching the class an experiment (and
explain the concept).
Skiing and Skating
Our
ski lessons will begin the first week of school. The ski lessons take place every Thursday
from 1-3. Please pack all your child’s
ski gear to school on Thursdays and pick up your child outside of the Daycare
in the village (by the clock tower).
Please make sure your child has all the gear they need to ski (including
a helmet). Please note the end time on
Thursday is 3:00.
Our
first week of skating will be the week of January 14th. We will be
skating from 2:30-3:30 on Mondays and Tuesdays – please make sure that your
child has the appropriate safety gear! Helmets with cages are highly
recommended for skating! You can pick
your child up from the skating rink on these days. Also, everyone is always welcome to skate or
help out with transporting the kids from the school to the rink.
Hot Lunches
We
will not be having hot lunches in the month of January. We may reconsider this
again in the future, but for the time being, we will not be doing cooking
class.
Thank You!
Thank
you to everyone who came out and watched our Christmas presentation! The students
spent a lot of time working on this, and it was nice to have such a good
turnout! Parents – thanks for taking the time to get costumes, practice lines,
and for listening to those catchy tunes over and over! We couldn’t have done it
without the practice at home!
