Friday, December 13

Messages and Reminders:
Our fractions tests came home today. Please sign and return them for Monday. The Reading... Give It a Shot program officially ended today, but the hockey cards will still be at school if you want to bring your reading logs in next week. Wednesday is red and green or Christmas sweater day (the December school spirit day). Thursday is fun lunch, the last day of school before winter break, the December pillars of care assembly (at 12:30 - notes will go home with our winners next week), and report card day. There is no school on Friday and winter break goes until January 5.

Morning recap:
This morning we began with a quick review and then wrote our fractions unit test. We read silently as we finished. When most people were done math, we all read chapter 15 of LWW either alone or with a partner. After getting our math tests back (it was good news for most of us - they have been sent home for you to look at, sign, and return), we did the chapter 15 questions together as a class. During buddies, we listened to a story about writing letters to Santa and then we wrote letters to BHS Santa with what we hope to do at school in 2020. If we finished our letters early, we did winter activity sheets for some word work and basic fact practice. After saying goodbye to buddies, we cleaned up the classroom and headed down to gym with all the grade sixes.

Have a wonderful weekend!
