The school dance and Diversity Dinner have both been cancelled for this Friday, February 5th. The dinner will be rescheduled.
All reading classes have completed the novel Snow Bound by Harry Mazer. As we completed chapters we wrote abridged versions (summaries) of each of them. We are now in the process of word processing and illustrating what we wrote. Once this step is complete we will create a cover and bind to create a book. The due date is the week of Feb. 8th.
The month of February will be devoted to CMT prep. We will be spending time reviewing skills to be successful on these tests. Much of the focus will be on editing and revising as well as comprehension and open-ended questions.
Illing is using PBS (Positive Behavior System) as a guide for expections to be successful. We refer to these expectations as the Illing I's. Each student should be saying "I am responsible. I am safe. I am kind. I am respectful" everywhere they are in the school. When following school rules your child has opportunities to earn shillings which can periodically be cashed in for something special.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at any time. Illing's phone number is 647-3400. You can also contact Mrs. Peters in Guidance at 647-3418.
