Goals are due Feb. 17 - this is worth 10 points toward overall mark on this report card.   Parents, Please ensure your son/daughter is reading and writing a response regularly (4-5 times/week). This is required to ensure they meet their A.R. Goals.  

Students and Parents;        I am not assigning Reading Logs during the break but do encourage students to continue reading over that time period. The usual homework assignment will continue when we return in January-> students are to read at least 20 minutes each night, and record a Reading Response in their Reading Log Duotang. They have to respond once over the weekend. It is very important that students do read at home. Each is assigned an A.R. goal which is worth 10% of their mark. There should be no "late assignments" for this as they are to be kept up to date!         Most nights, this will be all students will have for homework. On occasion, they may have to finish an assignment from classtime.              Have a safe and Happy Holiday and I look forward to seeing you in the new year!                                                                                           Mrs. C.
