Happy Friday!

Students have expressed that they feel that Home Journals are no longer helpful to them, so instead, we are working together to create a web of reflections about our week.  Here are some of the things that we really enjoyed over the last couple of weeks:

Field Trip Forms:
Apologies again for the plethora of forms that have come home over the past few weeks. 

If you have not yet returned the swimming forms, we do need those back for Monday as we need to get the ability forms to Thorncliffe Pool.  Also, my apologies for those of you who received the incorrect form.  Hopefully I have corrected all of those. 

We go back to Simon Fraser on Tuesday for Lion King Junior, and there are still a few people who need to return forms for that as well.
