This week there will not be any literacy logs going home. They have been taken and returned for six weeks now, and many students have been very consistent with this work. I will be sending them home first week back in January.
Monday we will have 8 students travelling to Summit (along with myself) to take part in an alternative schools Bordenball activity day. It will be a busy day, and each student needs indoor shoes, and a water bottle, along with lots of nourishment in their lunch.
Tuesday and Wednesday we will wrap up our oral presentations, with all remaining students sharing their presentations.
Monday and Tuesday we will be putting the finishing touches on our prep for the play (Good Night iPad) we are sharing with the school on Wednesday. If you wish to join us for the play, it will be presented during the sing along Wednesday morning, in the gym, between 8 and 840. I will be recording the play for families to view at a later date, so don't worry if you can't make it.
Thursday morning we will be walking to Summit Alternative for their annual Stock Market event. We hope to spend an hour and a half at the event, taking in the action, and also getting a feel for the school while we are there. On the walk back we plan to do some outdoor phys ed activities in the Byron Linear Park. We need volunteers to make this happen, so let Ray know if you can make it for this event.
Friday we will be up to our eyes in special events. We hope to visit with our Reading Buddies in the first block of the day. In the second block, we are getting a special visit from Sadie's mom, to talk about Hannukah, an share some stories with us, and then we will head to the gym for 11:15, and our last sing along of the week (Guitar club and the Ukes will perform, and Roy will likely be the grand finale with the 12 days of Christmas, and Churchill tradition loved by all:) Then, in the last block, we will have, what Ben V and I like to refer to as "Reflective Study on the holiday season" (not a winter break party...not at all). During this time we will have our "gift and take" event where students can bring in unlabelled gifts ($7 and under) and participate in a gift exchange. Everyone who participates is guaranteed to end with a gift, but they will also likely spend a large part of the period laughing out loud.
There are some projects on the go this week as well.
It is a busy one, so I hope students are getting their rest each night, as the days will be long if they are not rested.
