Good evening,
There will no longer be any homework assigned. We are currently completing assignments in class that we have been working on over the past week, so it is important that students are present to ensure that these assignments can be completed. Students are asked to please ensure that their lockers are completely cleaned out by tomorrow afternoon. For the last two days of school (Wednesday and Thursday), students are asked to ensure that they have their book bags with them as well as a pencil. They are asked to have a pencil for assignments, and a book bag in case there is anything that they need to carry home with them.
We are looking forward to an exciting day tomorrow as we will have our Pride Assembly, as well as the Rick Hansen PS Talent Show. Our school is full of many talented young men and women, and we are excited to see them shine tomorrow.
Thank you kindly. I hope everyone has a great night.

Please find tonight's homework below:
Grades 5 & 6:
Literacy - brainstorm more arguments for tomorrow's debates
Clean out lockers by Wednesday
Math - Study times tables (0-11)
Library books due back to library immediately please.
Have a great night.

Good evening,
As some may have noticed, there has not been as much homework going home for the past week. This is due to the fact that much of what we are doing right now involves group work, and so students need to complete the assignments in class with their groups. The tasks we have been working on in Literacy (Public Service Announcements), Science (Travel Back in Time Assignment), and Social Studies (Government Structure Experiential Exercise) are summative tasks for things we have been working on the past few weeks. These tasks serve as a means for students to display their learning in a enjoyable, but authentic and meaningful, way.

Good evening everyone,
Today the students did a tremendous job with their debate presentations. We have one more group to present. The students had a lot of fun, and it was exciting for me to watch their enthusiasm as they used their higher order thinking skills to generate ideas and develop meaningful arguments.
Due to the fact that we were working on the debates for much of today, I have not assigned any homework for this weekend. The only thing that I would like to see come back on Monday is their signed Friday Folders. Please take some time to look through their folders, as they will give you a greater idea of your child's performance in the classroom. One of the purposes of the Friday Folders is for parents to be able to stay informed of their child's progress.
Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow is a P.A. Day.
Have a great weekend!
