Winter Vacation! No homework!  Enjoy a well deserved holiday.

Wildcats had Math, English, Computers, PE, and Exploratory today.  Students presented on their assigned countries and how they celebrate Christmas during English, and calculated areas of their footprints during Math.  No homework. 

Wildcats were treated to a walking field trip down to the Cineplex to watch "The Good Dinosaur".  In Advisory students were assigned countries in their groups from a document titled "Christmas Around the World".  Homework- read the page on your country in preparation for your presentation.

Wildcats had PE, Math, Exploratory, Art, and Computers today.  Homework- No homework other than putting the finishing touches on your three projects due tomorrow Wed Dec 16:
 1. Math- Unit Problem:  pg # 156 in MMS text,
2. Science- Wanted Bacteria Poster,

Div 6-7 will be rock climbing in the new year!  A BIG thank you to all parents that have volunteered their time and vehicles to taxi our kids for this activity. 
*****Don't forget to attend tonights meeting @6pm in the Spencer library if you missed last nights.  All parents need to attend the meeting if they want their child to participate in this activity  ****

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, and Children of All Ages...

 

IMPORTANT!!!

 

School District 62 (Sooke) has defined our indoor rock climbing field trip to The Boulders Climbing Gym at Stelly's School as a "moderate risk" activity and, in accordance with district policy, we have been directed to hold a meeting with parents to sign the consent/waiver form and be available to answer questions face-to-face.  Unfortunately, permission forms cannot be sent home to be signed and at least one parent must attend an in-person meeting with the field trip leader/teacher in order for their child to participate in this activity.

 Despite the additional time and energy this will take for everyone, the Grade 6 Team of teachers have all agreed that the field trip is worth this additional effort and we will be holding two field trip meetings to better accommodate parents and get this done so we can still go on this field trip.

 The mandatory field trip meetings will take place on Monday, Dec. 14 @ 5:30pm and Tuesday, Dec. 15 @ 6:00pm in Spencer's Library and they should each be about 20 minutes.

 Thank you for your patience and understanding.  See you on either Monday or Tuesday evening.

 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

 The cost for each student is normally $5...but because our price for next week's Movie Field Trip was reduced, the money saved has reduced the cost of our Indoor Rock Climbing FIeld Trip to $2.

 Students can bring their $2 any time this week or next week.

Wildcats had Math, English, Computers, Exploratory, and PE today.  Wildcats reviewed their angle quizzes today and spent the rest of class working with Perimeter and Area problems.  Homework- finish your blue exercise package on perimeter and area.  English-Wildcats discussed strategies to include thoughts and feelings in their stories and why having their main character share thoughts and feelings would be important.  The end of class was devoted to short story study.  Assignment due dates are creeping up; don't leave your work to the last minute!
