Good Afternoon Everyone!

I hope you had a fantastic weekend! Tomorrow is day 1 (Gym and Music ). Please wear your gym clothes to school and bring your gym shoes. 

 We are planning a trip to the ROM on Thursday, November 21st. Permission forms were sent home. Please return all permission forms to me by Friday, November 8th at the latest. It will be an all day trip so please do not order hot lunch for this day, as reimbursements will not be given, nor will hot lunches be saved. 

Lost and Found: 
Our lost and found items are now located in the gym. If items are not claimed by November 8th at 4pm, all items in the lost and found will be donated to our local Salvation Army. 

A quick message about Caribou:
The next Caribou Contest takes place on Wednesday, November 13th, 2019. Participants are to arrive at 7:15 am for a 7:30 am start. Bring a charged device, preferably a laptop, iPad or Tablet. You have one hour to write the test.
This month’s test includes an interactive question. The interactive question will differ by grade: Tangram for Grades 2 to 4, Chomp for Grades 5 to 10, and finally a GeomeTree construction involving triangles for Grades 11/12.  You can practice these now on Caribou’s Games page. Let Caribou know if you have any problems with the games.

Caribou strongly recommends familiarizing yourselves with these games before the contest.  Because certain games pages can be used to solve the questions, these will be blocked from Tuesday morning, November 12th, (start of the contest in the far East) to Thursday evening, November 15th at 8 pm EST.

For Grades 3 to 12, there will be a history question about Emmy Noether. Students in these grades should read the relevant section of Caribou’s History page in your preferred language to prepare.

 Science Fair:

Polar Expressions is back again this year and they are looking for students to have the chance to publish poems and short stories in an upcoming book. Information sheets have been sent. Students who are interested in this competition can do so on their own time, as class time will not be given. The deadline for poems is November 29th and the deadline for short stories is December 6th
