Land Ahoy!

Dear Students and Parents,

This has been a long semester and an extremely short week, and we’ve struggled to get everyone ready for the Final Semester Exam.  Everyone is lethargic, as it is after all, time for hibernating in the animal kingdom. Our kids are tired and so are we. The New Year break is coming at the right time!

However, we still have one more hurdle to cross before we can get to a safe port…

… The Dreaded Exams, Da-da-da!

The Dreaded Exams takes place next week as previously posted and there have been no changes to the schedule or scope.
Please encourage your kids to review for the exams as a few of our students seem to be experiencing a kind of slump in terms of completing their work. It could be that hormones are playing havoc with their systems, so keep your eyes peeled. J

***Below are the dates and scope of the 3rd Monthly Exams:

Scope of Exams:
**My Sidewalks on Reading Street Level C3 (p124-133)
**My Sidewalks on Reading Street Level C4 (p7-55)
**Communication book vocabulary: Weeks 14-18
**Worksheets: Weeks 14-18

Dates of Exams:
1: Tuesday, January 5th, 2016- Vocabulary Review.
2: Friday, January 8th, 2016- Listening Test.
3: Tuesday, January 12th, 2016 - Written Test

I will post the pictures of our trip to The Grand Hotel over the weekend as the files are extremely large.(Files uploaded already!! Click on the name of the hotel) The students behaved as best they could and we didn’t have any food fights!
They had a lot of fun and had a lot to talk about. 
 I was angry with them for a short period of time after we came back and we had a little fight of our own. I won’t elaborate but you can ask them all about it. J
