Hello!
Just a few reminders…
Friday I will be dropping off all our swimming forms. These have been sent home well before the winter break and I have received most of them back. If your form has not been received the swimming instructor will not be able to place your child in the appropriate group. Please ensure that these have been returned to the school by Friday, January 11th, 2008. Please ensure that you have also submitted the transportation fee so that I may pay Mme C.
I would like to submit our scholastic order Monday morning. Please ensure that your order and payment has been submitted to me by Monday, January 14th, 2008.
The music teacher, Mme Boire, has indicated that she would like to start her unit on the recorder next week. Several families had indicated that they have already purchased recorders. Please ensure that these are at school by next week so that students may complete the required work for music class.
Mme C, our administrative assistant has indicated to me that there are several outstanding classroom fees from our classroom. She has asked me to bring our account to balance a.s.a.p. If you have not paid the classroom fee please do so immediately.
As a informational item, I have submitted a proposal to present with a colleague at this year’s WestCast. Earlier this week I was informed that my proposal was accepted and that I will be presenting. I haven’t received any specific information as of yet but look forward to this opportunity. Yeah for me!
Should you have any questions regarding any information in this post, please send me an email or call me at the school.

As a class we collaborative wrote a song together. This was a cooperative writing assignment. Students were to write a song in 4-4 time that is both French and English that reflected their feelings about war.
I recorded the (poorly played) guitar part at home with my Macbook using GarageBand. Students performed their song in front of the entire school during our Rememberence Day assembly. Several families and teachers commented on the quality of the students’ performance.
As a class, we had voted in favor of recording the song and posting it on our blog. I bought a T.sonic 840 by Transcend through Tiger Direct to facilitate this recording. Prior to our winter break students performed the song again in our class and I recorded it using my digital recorded. Here is the final product. Hope you enjoy!
