We are using a combination of read-aloud and LA7 Stations to study Jack London’s, The Call of the Wild. 

Upon completing the COTW study you will be responsible for:

1. Book to Film Comparison
2. Written Adaptation
3. Vocabulary Analysis – 10 words

The break is quickly approaching and soon it will be 2016. I hope everyone has a fun and rejuvenating break. Safe travels to all of you who are heading out of town.

All Among the Hidden assignments must be handed in before the break. We’ll be studying The Call of the Wild by Jack London when we get back.

Friday will be a full day but don’t worry, we have some fun activities planned for the afternoon. Roaming will not be permitted. Once you choose your location you must remain there for the entire afternoon.

• Sock Hop in the Gym
• Movie (Elf) in Mr. H’s classroom
• Board Games and Bridges Tournament in the Gathering Area
• Video Games in the Computer Lab

There will be a Scrooge Room for students who need to finish assignments. Once the assignment is complete you are free to go to one of the activity locations.

Remember there is no school on Friday. Ha! Like we’d ever forget that!

We are wrapping up our Among the Hidden novel study and there are three due dates coming up. Be sure to check the calendar so your assignments are in on time. 

Keep these dates in mind:

• December 10th – Noon (12-1) Christmas Concert K-6
• December 15th – Middle School Assembly at 1:00
• December 18th – Carolling 845-10:00 (K-8; parents welcome)

Use the comments to tell me your favourite December Break activity and I’ll give you a prize.
