1. Test pack # 2 was handed out. I ask that a parent or guardian sign the top page and that the student corrects it. It should be returned by next Wednesday, November 9.
2. Scholastic Orders due Monday November 7.
3. Inquiry research at home as well as at school.
4. Literature Circle presentations start tomorrow. Because of Library and News Journal I anticipate that we will accomplish two at best.
5. Tomorrow is Library Book exchange.
6. Stratford is on Tuesday, November 8.
- Be at school by 8:10 AM at the latest for departure.
- Pack a lunch and drink -- there is very limited food service at the Avon Theatre and no time to accommodate the school crowd.
- Dress warmly for the weather. It is colder there than in Toronto.
- An adult or caregiver must be present to collect the students at return in the evening -- about 7 PM. No notes to walk home unaccompanied are acceptable.

Notes:
- The Inquiry project research is well underway. We have had several class periods for research using internet devices. That being said, students should absolutely be looking at other sources that they gather outside of school time. Generous amounts of time are provided in class for feedback and research time but it will be difficult to complete if a student only works during those times.
- Our Stratford trip is coming up on Tuesday November 8. We will arrive back well after dismissal. It is necessary to have made arrangements to have someone of responsible age -- over 16 -- pick up your child from the bus in front of the school. Children will not be permitted to walk home alone.
- Our next book report is due on December 8, 2016. Students should be making plans to select a new book to read for it during this week.
Monday HW
There is no homework Monday. I did remind students of the last Patterning quiz on Wednesday, and the Spelling dictation on Wednesday as well.
