Update
EQAO...and no spelling homework!
Students will write the first part of the EQAO test tomorrow morning 9:20-10:50. This will continue each morning with June 1st being the last day. We will not write the EQAO test this Thursday because it is a significant faith day on the school calendar. Spelling homework will be cancelled during the EQAO test to promote relaxation each night. Students are now required to read for 30 minutes each night as their homework. Here are some other tips that will help students feel prepared for the test:
-get to bed early and have a good night's sleep
-eat a nutritious breakfast
-walk to school if possible
-bring a reusable water bottle
-bring extra snacks
Palooza Basket
Our class is working together to create a big basket to be raffled off for Hansen Palooza. Our theme is BBQ! We are looking for any donations to be part of our basket by June 1st! So far we only have two donations! Thank you for your support. If you have any questions please ask.
Some possible items to send in are:
-BBQ sauces and spice rubs
-Oven mitts
-apron
-BBQ cookbook
-BBQ utensils
-condiments
-cash to put towards a larger purchase for the basket
Clothes for Salvation Army
Our class is collecting clothes to be donated to the Salvation Army. This is a great time of year to go through your closet and send in anything you do not wear anymore! Thank you for supporting this!
Pig
We learned a new math game called Pig today. This game is great for building those mental math skills! Students are encouraged to teach the game to their families at home.
