Upcoming Trips and Remembrance News

Hello Room 211 Families,
This is a quick reminder of the trips we have coming up this week.  Forms are in and we are all sorted out for our trip to Parliament Hill this Wednesday.  We leave Churchill just after attendance, so don't come late Wednesday!
I am quite happy to be able to make this next request.  As of today we have 12 volunteers for our trip to the Hill.  This is way more than we need, and I don't want anyone coming out of a feeling of obligation, and showing up to realise they were not really needed due to the large numbers.  If you are willing to bow out of the trip, please let me know ASAP so I can set up groups for getting on and off the bus (I like a 1:5 ratio getting on the bus so we have extra eyes on our students if it is busy).  
We are 12 forms short for our first skate at Dulude arena on THURSDAY.  If you have not sent in your form and payment, the forms are due tomorrow.  If your child has not looked out their skates and tried them on, as well as their helmet, please do so ASAP.  We have extra skates at the school, but it would be best to know tomorrow if they need to look for some at school, in case there are none in their size.
Today our class hosted the Remembrance Day sharing (yes, for those keeping track, we organized set up, and took down the Terry Fox run, the Family Math Night event, and now the first Sharing of the year!!) and the students did a spectacular job.  They were responsible for creating artwork for the gymnasium, welcoming families and classes into the gym, introducing each presentation, presenting a skit about being peace activists and building peace in their lives, and then clearing up the gym afterwards.  The students did themselves proud.  Everyone had a speaking, or acting role, and many had both.  We also had many members of our class represented in the guitar and ukulele club presentations.  It was a day the 211 community could be very proud of!
Just a reminder to all that there are spots left on the 3way conference sign up.  Click on the link below to access this.  I apologize to some of you who are having a hard time accessing it.  I am getting requests to allow access, and this has never happened in previous years to anyone on our class list, so something must have changed.  If you see a time you want, and it won't let you edit to sign up, please email me with the time slot and I will put you in.
