A Short Week For EQAO and Goodbye

It's been another short week, even shorter for me as I was at the school board on Tuesday for an Aboriginal workshop for French teachers. Wednesday was our last regular day before EQAO started. 

We've made it through the first two days of EQAO, two Language sections on Thursday, and one Language section and one Math section on Friday. After, we relaxed, had free time to draw, write or read, did some KETCHUP, and worked on weaving. 

A little something for the students to think on before starting EQAO on Thursday morning. 



It's been very hot in the class and we haven't always been able to have the windows open as the noise from classes outside would disturb the students while writing their tests. I had Mr. Brown find us a fan but it was in pretty rough shape. It looks much better now with a bit of duct tape to fix it and make it look nicer. 


Some thoughts to start Friday

There have also been Track and Field tryouts this week for the school team that will be heading to the regional meet on June 9th. Lots of running for some of the students, in spite of the heat. 

Friday was Mme Jones's last day of her first practicum. We were sad to say goodbye and we wish her well as she continues her degree in Education at Queen's.

Monday will be our last day of EQAO (Tuesday for anyone who needs to make up some sections). Then it will be back to normal although a bit quieter as the grade 6 classes will begin EQAO on Wednesday.  We will have to be extra quiet in halls and when going out so as to not disturb the grade 6s in Mrs. Murphy's class. 

It will be very busy over the next little while, please check the agenda daily for information. We have two trips planned in June. If your child is not attending a trip for some reason, please send a note in the agenda to let me know. 

Have a great weekend!
