Welcome back students! It's hard to believe that it's already close to the middle of October, and we're still just getting to know each other. But, even though we got a late start this year, we're also off to a good start - I think we will have a great time, and learn lots together. You all have interesting stories to tell me, and I've really enjoyed listening to you introduce each other, reading your "The Most Important Thing About Me" poems, helping you get settled into your new classroom, lockers, and the school. A couple of reminders for this week: remember that the Terry Fox Run is on Thursday afternoon (wear sneakers!), and you can start bringing in your twoonies and loonies if you would like to contribute to cancer research. On Friday, band students are in band for blocks 3, 4 and 5 - you will have a wonderful introduction to your instrument, and Mini X students, you will be busy with Ms. Walzak and me....please wear comfortable clothes that can get a bit dirty, we will be doing some digging in the Naturescape! Please make sure you look at the different headings on my blog - there are dates to note, recommendations for good book titles, some interesting links and even some information on me. Share the blog with your parents and guardians - they will want to know what we do in Advisory 62 too!
