Friday November 1, 2013

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,

Please remember that Monday is our trip to the Science Centre.  Here are some reminders for the day:

1.  It would be a good idea to bring a couple of dollars to purchase a locker for the day so that you have a place to put bags and coats.  You can share with others.  I believe the cost is $1 or $2.

2.  You can either purchase a lunch in the cafeteria or bring a lunch.  If you bring a lunch, please bring one that is disposable so that you can throw everything out when you are done and therefore not need to go all the way back to the lockers.  The lockers are a long way from the cafeteria.

3.  We are planning on leaving around 9:00-9:15 so please make sure that you are here on time.  We are planning on arriving back at the school for regular dismissal at 3:40. 


Please find your homework below:

Math - p. 54 in textbook (due Tuesday)

Art - Skyscraper assignment (due Wednesday)

Health - Complete chart and Reflect on Decision question (due Wednesday)

Picture forms are due Monday if you want to purchase pictures.



Have a great weekend!  I am looking forward to a great day with everyone on Monday...it should be a lot of fun!

Mr. Carr
