Posted on Friday, January 17th, 2014 at 5:15 pmTickets went on sale for the MMA ski trip today (Friday). Please see our website or our newsletters for more information.
Please don’t forget that children should be working on their home projects for January and planning for February’s. See the Home Project tab for more details. January’s project is due Jan. 27th.
Scales and Tales came this week (Thursday)! The kids really enjoyed learning about some insects and reptiles. Because of the time of the assembly, there was no Level 2 Botany this week. However, their activity was a leaf activity and that is planned on the schedule for a few weeks. So, they haven’t missed out.
Ms. Kaley is Having a Baby!
I told the kids this week that I am having a baby 🙂 Th baby is due early to mid August, so I will not be present the first few weeks of school for the 2014-2015 school year. Ms. Anna will be there and there will also be a long term sub, yet to be determined. My midwife said if the baby cooperates we will be able to find out if it is a boy or girl next month. Currently, I am 11 weeks.
