Hello Grade 7 Families!
CROSS COUNTRY
Well done to our competitors (Evelyn, Amber, Nadya, Izzy, Michael, Trevor, and Angelo) who showed determination and grit to complete a hard-fought race. Congratulations to Amber and Michael, who each finished first.
I also want to give a shout out to all the volunteers who braved the cold winds of Gary Point (and a handful of rain drops) to cheer on, not only their classmates, but also Grades 2-6 from both St. Paul’s and St. Joseph the Worker. It was awesome to see such enthusiasm and support for the runners from all of you. Well done! (no, you don’t get a pez, but still, well done.)
GOOGLE CLASSROOM
One month in and the students are using Google Classroom to not only create, complete, and submit their work, but also to receive feedback from myself, comment on that feedback, exchange questions regarding activities with their peers. Well done! With most of the classroom event updates and assignments going through classroom, the frequency of blogging here will decrease.
Parents, hopefully your experience has also been a positive one. If you have any questions regarding Classroom, please let me know!
HAPPY THANKSGIVING – MONDAY (NO SCHOOL)
Enjoy the long weekend with your family!
