Welcome Back

It's an exciting time of year.

We have an exciting school year ahead of us, and it is a great time to be a junior student at Stilecroft Public School.  On the first day of school we'll be covering a lot of ground and learning a lot about what to expect from the coming year and each other.

Some things we covered:

1. Materials we need.
2. Morning checklist.
3. Our Personal Planners
4. Making the 20 minutes a night of independent reading the best homework ever.

EDIT:  Well we didn't get to these next two things after all, but we expect to tomorrow.

1. Personal Inventory
2. Teamwork in the classroom, featuring the video:  Dolphin Dinner.

Homework Today (Tuesday September 6, 2011)

The first day of school means a lot of materials will be sent home that need to be reviewed and filled in.  The package of papers being sent home this year needs to be reviewed and filled in properly as soon as possible.  Some materials are required for students to participate in a wide range of activities at school, and getting this paperwork completed is very important.
