Hello families,
Tomorrow our class will go to the Mendel Art Gallery for the day. Students will need to bring a bagged lunch. If you are interested in coming with us, parent chaperones are welcome.
The ski note was sent home today as well as a note about staff appreciation week.
Candy crams are due back by tomorrow.
We will also have another fundraiser for our ArtsSmarts project on Thursday - long johns for $2.
The grade 7's have math homework tonight.
Have a great night everyone!

Mural Painting and stuff
Hello families!
I am posting a note here that will be sent home tomorrow. It has important information about our ArtsSmarts project. Please read it over carefully so that you are aware of evening painting sessions and our final performance date.
You do not have to print this out at home, I have already made copies that will be sent home tomorrow. Please cut off and return the bottom portion of the note so that I have an idea of how many students will be painting in the evenings.
I also want to ask that students who have not completed the ArtsSmarts survey please fill it out from home. You should be able to see it just above this window - it says Survey Monkey. We are asking each student to fill out the survey once so that we can collect data on self confidence as the project progresses. It is completely confidential. The problem that we are having is that the survey can only be completed once from each devise, and the school does not have enough devises for the number of students.
Thanks for you help. Have a great weekend.

Homework
Hi parents and guardians,
I just wanted to send a reminder that the grade 7 students have a geometry unit test tomorrow.
We also have a popcorn sale tomorrow to raise funds for our portion of the ArtsSmarts grant. Each bag is $1.
Our trip to the library today went well. We were able to do a lot of research on countries around the world. Some students used their cards to take out items. I think it would be a good idea for all parents to ask their children if they took anything out and to check out due dates.
Tomorrow we will have another visit from Mike, our dance instructor. We will also have a visit from a woman who is visiting from Germany and will give us a presentation on German culture.
We also have a classroom twitter account that parents can follow. Find us @StAnne6_7Class . We tweet about what we are learning. Sometimes students are the guest tweeter. I have also tweeted a few photos of our projects. I will always be careful to conceal the identity of the students in the photos.
Have a great night.

January
Hello parents and guardians,
Our class has been busy working on our ArtsSmarts project. Mike will be coming to work with the students on dance tomorrow. Jordan will be here to work on poetry/rap on Friday. The work on our mural has begun - we got all of the priming done today and yesterday and we will likely get started on the creation of it next week with Pavlo.
We finally have a date for our final performance - it will be at St. Joseph School at 7pm on Thursday, February 27th. We will have a dress rehearsal in the afternoon of the same day. We expect that all students will be in attendance - as they will want you to see what they've learned and accomplished.
I am looking for parent volunteers to come into our classroom to share their culture with us. If you would like to be a guest - we would love to hear about your cultural background - especially how it is expressed through the arts. Please email me if you would be interested so that we can arrange a time.
We also asked students who were interested in the design of the mural to have their mock-ups done for tomorrow. We will have a selection committee of teachers and artists deciding which mock-up to go with.
When we finalize dates with Pavlo for the mural, I will send a note home with dates, times, and information. Pavlo will be working on the mural after school - so students will need permission to stay and work on the it. I will be here to supervise.
We will have a popcorn sale tomorrow afternoon to fund raise for our share of the ArtsSmarts project. Bags will be $1 each.
Next Tuesday the grade 7 students will have a geometry final unit test.
Thank you so much for the gift certificate to Home Sense. It was a lovely Christmas present. I am embarrassed to only be saying thank you right now. Also, thank you for the ornaments, jam, lotion, cards and other goodies. They were a nice treat.
Have a great night everyone.
