Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

Any students who are available on Wednesday morning are asked to please come to the snack table at around 8:45am for our walk to school festivities.  We need help handing out apples and helping younger students filling out their ballots.  Thank you in advance!!

Please remember that you can get updates on what we have accomplished throughout the week on our Twitter account.  The link is www.twitter.com/jonathanwcarr1  (you may need to copy and paste the link into your web browser in order to access the page).




Tonight's homework is as follows:


History - Your assignment is to become an expert on the info on four of the pages from the list we were researching in class.  By "expert", I mean that you need to have notes which explain very clearly how the topics on those page help answer our "big question" from class (The French were the first to settle in Canada.  How did we go from having land ruled by France to having British ties?)  (Due Thursday November 3).


Art - Good copy due November 10

French - Rubrics signed & rough copy and self-editing (Due Monday)

*We are holding our annual "We Scare Hunger Food Drive".  Any non-perishable donations for the local food bank are greatly appreciated.  There is a competition to see which class in our school brings in the most items :)

*The Eco-Team will be selling school water bottles in the front foyer at morning recesses next week.  The cost is $10.  Students are allowed to have water bottles on their desks during class time so that they can remain hydrated and alert.

Have a great evening!

Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

***Tomorrow is a big day for our classroom.  The Era Banner is planning to come and visit our gym class.  They will be taking pictures and may be asking students questions about what makes our school such a healthy, active school.  A consent form went home this evening.  The form must be returned first thing in the morning, or else your child will not be able to have their picture taken.  

As well, it would be terrific if each student could try to wear Rick Hansen clothing, or Rick Hansen colours tomorrow for gym class tomorrow.  Thank you everyone!

At Rick Hansen PS we strive to ensure that students are given the opportunity to live healthy lifestyles by...
1. Learning WHY we need to live healthy
2. Learning HOW to live healthy
3.  PRACTICING living a healthy lifestyle (healthy snacks, DPA, Phys. Ed., etc.)


Please remember that you can get updates on what we have accomplished throughout the week on our Twitter account.  The link is www.twitter.com/jonathanwcarr1 




Tonight's homework is as follows:

*Please return your media consent form for the Era Banner visit tomorrow.  Even if you do not have permission, please return the form saying you do not have permission.  (Due tomorrow)


*International Walk to School Day is on Wednesday.  We are hoping everyone walks to school on this day.

Math - Please solve the three math equations found on the Twitter account.

French - Rough copy (due Wednesday)

Science - 1. All of part A & B for your Ecosystems Project is due on October 5th. Part B needs to be drawn as a web that is displayed next to your ecosystem model.  You will need to construct your ecosystems at home and have them in class on October 5th. All notes and criteria are on the Science Google Classroom. As well, Ms.Glanfield is available on day 1 and 5 at morning recess for consultation.

Do you believe that police are justified (meaning it's okay) in using racial profiling, as long as they do it respectfully?  

Art - HB & 6B sketches (all 15) (Due October 5)


Music - Mouthpiece form (Due)

*Arts package forms have gone home.  We ask that they please be returned by Thursday.  Please don't hesitate to let me know if there are any issues.
