A few reminders

Hello grade 6/7 families,
Here are a few reminders about upcoming events:

1.) Our class will be hosting an Idle Free Campaign Assembly this Wednesday at 2:30. We will have our idle-free video premiere. We have 5 "mini-movies" that the class has made on reducing the amount we idle our cars. They are very good, and I don't think I am being biased at all. If you are able to attend our assembly, we would love to have you there. Students will go outside and educate drivers who are idling about the effects of idling. If it is as cold as it has been, we will likely have to take shifts. Students will need to be bundled up to be outside for any length of time. Again, if your child needs to take the bus, they can leave when the bus leaves.

2.) Our school Christmas dinner is this Friday. Grade 7 students will need to bring their tossed salads that morning. The grade 6 students can bring their salad dressing any day before Friday.

3.) The band concert is tomorrow afternoon. Parents are invited to attend. Band students are to be dressed in black bottoms and a white top.

4.) Our class will be performing in the Advent Liturgy next Tuesday night. We will be drumming the Little Drummer boy along with the grade 1/2 class who will be singing, and the 2/3 class who will be acting out the story. We will be practicing the drumming over the next week. If your child cannot commit to attending that night, please let me know through a note or an email. (jgallays@gscs.sk.ca)

5.) Grade 7's have math homework tonight. Today we spent time learning about Greatest Common Factors (GCFs) and then reducing fractions to lowest common terms. This was a fairly difficult concept for some students. If you are able to help your child at home, that would be very beneficial to them.

That's all I can think of right now. If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
