Happy Wednesday!

Tomorrow is Belonging Day, so please encourage your child to wear their Ramsay t-shirt. Also, the Winter Celebration starts @ 6:00pm. Our classroom will be open so that families can compile envelopes for the Drop-In Centre. Families are encouraged to decorate the envelope and to write a card.  Envelopes and cards are provided. The grade 5/6 class is performing at 7:45pm, so please ensure your child is at the classroom by 7:30pm at the latest.

Today students were offered the opportunity to persuade me about the possibility of not having (or having) homework over the winter holidays. We reviewed a format for writing a persuasive paragraph, and students had to plan their position which included three reasons with supporting rationale.  Students will now apply their knowledge of complex sentence structure, and subordinate conjunctions, to create a persuasive paragraph about homework. In case you haven’t guessed…many are trying to persuade me that we shouldn’t have any homework.  J
