This is the text of the newsletter that went home this week. And no, yesterday, you did not have no homework! Homework right now consists of getting ready for our many upcoming deadlines...




Welcome to a new term!

Term two brings lots of worthwhile projects, trips and challenges. We will be completing our study of History partway through the term and beginning Geography during the second part of term two. Students will have in-class time to help finish the many deadlines and projects due this term. They should bring in research from home and from the public library so that they can use class work periods effectively.

Here are some upcoming events and deadlines to keep in mind:

Quebec trip deposits are due Friday Dec. 19, 2008
IPRC response forms due Friday Dec. 19, 2008
Speech Arts: Students should be choosing their topic this week (by Fri. Dec. 19)

Speeches due Jan 12. Students do either format A (non-fiction) or C (Dramatic non-original) For each format, the text of the speech and the presentation are due the same day)

Shan and Connor came from the National Film Board of Canada on Dec. 11 & 12. They presented an intensive hands-on filmmaking workshop. In two days, we conceived, filmed and edited a complete public announcement video. We think you will be extremely impressed by the results! Watch for permission forms soon. Parents, we need your permission to enter our finished video in the National Stop Racism Now! Contest. The top prize is a trip to Ottawa. Many of the best entries will appear on television and the internet. If you are interested in past winners, see the website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/march-21-mars/index-eng.asp

I hope you and your families have a safe, relaxing holiday season.


Best wishes,

No Homework Except Health

Today's homework is....

sadly, not homework, again.

- Except the eating plan critic checklist sheet, that is

That is all. Oh woe is me. There is barely any homework.

And I am terribly sorry for not putting this on the last blog. It slipped my mind.
