There is no school on Friday January 20 -- PA Day

Wednesday HW
1.  Ontario Science Centre trip form.  Please return it with the fee of $24 by Thursday January 19.
(***If your child is not attending, I request that you send the form back with a NO response and some indication about whether your child will still come to school on that day.  If so I will make alternative arrangements for him/her.)
2.  Think about collecting photos for your Brochure collage tonight and over the long weekend.  There is no access to a colour printer at school for this.  We have made pair groups and selected countries for the assignment.  If your child was present at school today he/she knows their partner and their country topic.  The topic sheet is in the Social Studies ACT Pack booklet on page 19, followed by rubrics, success criteria and organizers for each of the four main parts.
