It was a great week here in the Grade 5 classroom!  Students earned their sweet treat this week and enjoyed hot chocolate and cookies on Tuesday!  It actually coincided very nicely with Pajama Day!  We have a number of things coming up…

Assembly:  Next Wednesday we have an assembly where our class will be teaching the rest of the intermediate department what we have learned through the Planet Protectors Academy, as well as our composting program. You are welcome to join us at 9:15 in the chapel.  Chapel will end around 10:00.

Report Cards:  These were handed out yesterday.  Please email me at pgoosen@highroadacademy.com if you have any questions or want to meet and discuss anything.

Xtra Math:  There is a link on the right of the blog, way down at the bottom.  Your child can go onto the link, put in their 4 digit code and practice their Math facts.  They will need to practice them three times a week between home and school.  On Fridays I will be asking them if they went on XtraMath three times during the week.

Ski Trip on Friday:  We are looking forward to our ski trip to Manning on Friday!  If you or your child are taking the bus please be at the school for 6:30 as the bus is leaving by 6:45  .  We try to leave the hill at 2:30, with hopes of returning between 4 and 4:30.  This time will vary depending on road conditions.

Missions Trip:  Our missions team goes to Guatemala over spring break and our class has been asked to collect small shampoo, toothpaste and toothbrushes.  If you are able to help with this, it would be greatly appreciated.  You can bring them in over the next month.  Thank you!

Math Mayhem Date Change:  Please note the new date for Math Mayhem.  It is now on Tuesday, February 18th, from 6:30 – 8:00
