Hello Parents and Families of Division 12 ~

Happy New Year! Welcome back to the middle portion of the school year: a 2 month stretch to our Spring Break, which then runs from March 9th to March 26th. Hopefully everyone is feeling rejuvenated after a relaxing vacation, and ready to set down to work.

1) LA: Paragraph Writing and Report Writing; Grammar

2) Reading: Guided Reading Groups and Comprehension exercises, plus independent reading

3) Math: Basic Division, Long Division and Graphing

4) SS: First Nations History in North America and Canada

5) PE: Basketball

6) Spelling

7) Health and Planning: Goal Setting and the "Friends for Life Program"

8) French: Simple Conversation (we are almost done French for the year)

9) Art: We continue to work through the "Elements of Art" by way of various projects each Friday afternoon

- feel free to drop by and join us during Art if you wish, Fridays from 1:30-2:30

Looking forward to a great January!

Sincerely,

Mr. Nast
