A Few Updates for Everyone!!!


Ever feel like you are crawling to the finish line called "Winter Vacation"?  I am definitely in that mode and hopefully I can get everything done at work on time...

At the Challenge Centre, I have just finished working with some great Grade 7 debaters....fantastic work, everyone! Next week, the Grade 3's are here for a four day program.  

Also, I have added two programs:

1. Notable Novels:  there are now two programs offered and I will review the dates here so everyone knows:

  Notable Novels Group 1:  Jan. 9, Feb. 25, April 17, May 29

  Notable Novels Group 2:  Feb. 4, March 4, April 24, May 22


Note:  I also made a mistake concerning Group 2:  the first novel you are reading is called "Out of My Mind" by Sharon M. Draper - not Laura Draper as I stated in the letter that went home.  Sorry about the confusion!  

I have sent home invitations for both groups and I am looking forward to working with these keen readers.  Also to note, I have the books if you need them; just email me.


2.  I have added a Grade 6 Great Debate Program:  the dates for the Grade 6's are as follows:
          
                January 28, 29, 30, 31st/ 2013

Please note that the original dates for this program were:  Jan. 24, 28, 29, 30th and that we have changed the days so the students can be with me for 4 continuous days.  We have contacted the schools and families about this change.

Thank you for being supportive with all these little glitches and changes at this time.   Hope your wind down to the Winter Break is going well!
