In HACE we have started our unit on puberty. While some students are uncomfortable discussing this topic, we will press on and encourage all to participate fully. It always gets easier as time goes on and it is one of those subjects that students want to ask questions but find it really hard to take the risk of asking in front of others. I hope this opens up some dialogue at home. In L.A., in addition to our 'regulars' we have started poetry. For math, we are wrapping up motion geometry (for group 2) and finishing up with a test on Thursday before beginning 'probability'.
We have a book fair taking place this week in the library. We have an opportunity to take a look at the books on Tuesday and then we can buy on Wednesday. Please feel free to come on in and take a look.
There is an early dismissal on Friday. Students will be dismissed at 12:30. I do not need to meet with any parents but if you would like to meet with me, please let me know.
We have gotten a quote on the grade 6 year end field trip for the Atlantis waterslides. It will cost each student only $8.00 as our Parkcrest PAC has generously offered to pay the cost of the bus. We are very grateful and can't thank them enough. We do not need parents for this trip. Atlantis has asked me to pass on a letter which has a waiver on it and that will be coming home in addition to the permission slip. A couple of parents have indicated that they want to come that day. At this time we do not have room on the bus and any other person who comes does need to drive themselves there and pay for themselves at the door.
