Curling on Tuesday Jan 25th
For our last curling time, we will be playing a game with students from Mr. Preddy's class. We will be leaving the school at 12:30 and have a full 2 hour time slot to play. Please make sure your child is dressed with warm clothes as this is a longer session. Long pants for the girls are a good idea, rather than uniform skirts.

More information about the blog
Not accustomed to "blogging" I will try to post regularly. I see the blog as a way for me to keep parents apprised of our classroom activities. If you have suggestions, you will need to speak to me in person or send me an email (pogloff@deltasd.bc.ca) as the "Comment" link is not enabled. If you would like to have the blog automatically go to your email, click on the "Followers" link along the right hand side of the post. I believe this is working. Please let me know if it isn't.
One last request -- does anyone have old magazines they'd like to donate to the classroom art supplies? Our selection is rather picked over at this point, so new old magazines would be appreciated

A few items before the break...
Grade 7 Christmas luncheon
Thank you to the Grade 7 parents who went way above and beyond with the decorations, picture taking, luncheon, music/dance and clean up. The students and I had a wonderful time. You made us all feel very special! Thank you.
We had a terrific dress rehearsal for our Christmas Concerts on Monday Dec 13 (at 1:30 and 6:30). Many Division One students have contributed hours of their time as set painters, audio and lighting personnel, set up and take down, crew greeters, narrators and with all the other jobs that make a performance run smoothly. They are truly excellent role models for the younger students.
As we head into our last week before the break, a few reminders:
Monday: Wear red or green tops, dark bottoms and shoes; optional silver or gold accessories
Bring 250ml milk/cream container for our "gingerbread" house as well as candy for decorating
Tuesday: Christmas writing project due
Grade 7 and Grade 6 Math test
Wednesday: Gingerbread house making with our KN buddies in the morning and our own houses in the afternoon
Thursday: Grade 7 SS test on Early Man
Grade 6 group poster on Japan completed.
Students are making good use of the time between rehearsals to keep current on their studies and should need only a short review to prepare for the tests. Students with questions should come in before school so I can explain or clarify.
Enjoy the weekend!
