Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

Please remember that tomorrow is electives day for grade 4's.  Just like last week it is important that you arrive at the school no later than 8:20am.  The buses will plan to return around 4:20-4:30 pm, but as we saw last week, this can be pushed back depending on traffic or other circumstances.

Grade 3 students who are staying back will be given the opportunity to skate and toboggan as long as permission forms have been handed in.  If they haven't, those students will still be able to play outside, but will not be able to participate in those activities.

Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

Today we explored the "itravel" school website.  It is a website that allows you to track how often you walk to school and the impact it has on your health and the environment.  As discussed in class, if you are unable to walk to school for any reason, that is okay.  This is not a tool to make you feel bad, rather it is a way to promote being more active whenever we can be.

Tonight, I would like you to please try and see if you can access the website and put in how often you walk, ride, etc. to and from school (just like we did in class today).  The instructions are below to try and do this.  Please don't worry if you can't.  As you know, the website has been giving us trouble at school and so we would like to see if it will work for you at home.  Please do not spend any more than 10 minutes trying!

Here is the information you need....

along the top menu there is a tab for LOG IN
user - RickHansen
pw - RickHansen
This will take you to the main hub for our school, to find your class click on the CLASSROOM MASTER tab.




Below is the rest of your homework.

Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

Please remember that tomorrow is our first day of winter electives.  It is important that you arrive by 8:20am at the absolute latest.  The buses will be leaving shortly after.  Those students in grade 3 and students in grade 4 who are staying back, we have a day planned for you that I think you will enjoy.  A portion of the day will involve golf instruction in the gym!

Please remember that Friday is a PA Day.

There will be no blog post tomorrow, so below is your homework for the weekend.
