(Review) word of the day: tardy

A note regarding student-led conferences went home today. Instead of having parents attend outside school hours, we have a new idea for this year's student leds. Grade One parents are invited to attend class with their children Thursday morning from 8:30 until 10:40 and all parents are invited to come to our afternoon gym class from 1:10 - 1:50. It should be a good way to see what your child is up to with their Language Arts and Math programs - and it should provide a good glimpse into your child's Phys. Ed. program.

The class will be skating again tomorrow afternoon. As always, please make sure your child is properly dressed for this activity.

Grade One students have a spelling test tomorrow on the "ight" words.

Science students: talk about our popcorn lesson today. What makes popcorn pop?

There will be a noon dismissal tomorrow.

(Review) word of the day: endeavor

Remember that Games Night is on tonight upstairs in the library and staff room. Families are invited to come and play board games and try a karaokee (sp?) song or two.

Ask the students what they found about about golf balls and playground balls in cold weather!

(Review) Word of the day: Janus (Ask how much toothpaste this guy would need to buy!)

Remember that the class is skating tomorrow. Please send warm clothing - including snow pants and (naturally) mittens. Any students who are not picked up at the arena will walk back to the school with the teachers.

Also, tomorrow evening from 6:30 until 7:00, there will be a Family Games Night upstairs here at JES. Family members are all welcome. There will be board games in the library and a karaokee (sp?) station in the staff room. For those brave enough to venture out into the cold, the evening should be a good one!

Athena's mom told me about a new live webcam - one of a bear's den in Minnesota. The bear's name is Jewel, and some watchers believe she's in labour! I've added the link to Jewel's webcam on the side. Enjoy!
