Hello!  Many of you have been getting ready for the talent show so I wanted to remind you that it has been postponed for one week.  Also,  I hope to have all of the Math tests marked and ready to hand back on Monday.  I will then go over the test with the class and then if anyone wants to do a retake you can do that on Tuesday.  The last schedule I saw had our class going to the gym to discuss our Science Projects with the judges right after recess.  I will confirm that on Monday.  Mr. Haddrell is going to put all of our projects in the gym for us on Sunday.  I am still entertaining the idea of Camp Sagitawa for two days in June.  We will have to do a lot of fundraising so I am checking on the concept of selling chocolate bars and other fundraising ideas.  I like Sagitawa because they have washrooms in the cabins with running water, they have a cook who does all of the meals for you and they don’t ask us to do any of the kitchen clean up etc.  That gives us more time to enjoy the camping experience.  I also like their other facilities and options such as archery, canoeing, hiking, orienteering, play field for ball games, and they have a zip line.  I want us to have a great time so it will cost us more than it would at another facility.  We can discuss this on Monday and guage commitment levels for fundraising and making it a special way to end the year.  See you Monday!  P.S.  several of you have requested seating arrangement changes.  I will answer those questions in person on Monday too.  Mr. P.
