Good afternoon! I hope everyone had a great afternoon! We had a fantastic day with lots of things happening.

The students are doing some great work on their Novel Study projects and I am looking forward to the finished projects. Students will be working on those for one more week here and then will be taking them home to finish. We are also nearing the end of our Science Unit on Weather. Students are doing some research on Extreme Weather and will be writing short reports. As we are close to being done, there will be a test coming up on the things we have been learning about. I will prepare a study guide for that as we get closer so that students can see what sort of things will be on it.

Our Pockettales contest is finished now and we had the final vote today. The winners of the contest were Cooper, Anna, Michael and Sydniegh. They will be receiving gift cards for Chapters and Sydneigh will have hers done up as one of the new badges on the Pockettale site. Congratulations to all those who put a badge in for the contest. They were all awesome with lots of thought and creativity. It was extremely hard to choose the winners! I believe that all the badges will be put up on the Pockettales blog to show them off as everyone did such a great job! Just as a reminder, the reading program (participation on Pockettales and reading times in the planners) is a part of their Language Arts mark in Reading (1%).

So then, dear friends, since you are looking forward to this, make every effort to be found spotless, blameless and at peace with him. 2 Peter 3:14
