Science Unit Test

Warning!  There will be a science unit test before the students have their school break and teachers go to convention.  The test date will be officially determined when we wrap up the unit and make time for review but I am thinking Oct. 13th or 14th.  If not then the following week.

Please start studying/reviewing the material that we have covered in class.

Note: You do not have many written notes since our source has been the textbook.  Please read and review Chapter 1: Ecosystems in the textbook.

If you have any questions please contact me: anholta@spsd.sk.ca

What to Bring/Wear
First things first. HELMETS are required. For those that don't have helmets some will be available to borrow but you may want to as a friend in case we run out. Early October is usually cool and rain, wind etc is possible. Wear layers, some moisture repelling clothes and if rain is forecasted, gloves, touque and even some bags to keep your feet dry during your ride. Of course, it could also be a beautiful fall day with no wind and blazing sunshine so keep an eye on the weather forecast as Ride Day approaches.

Bible Memory Verses

Bible Memory is an important spiritual discipline that we should all try to practice. To encourage you to memorize scripture I have assigned 10% of your Christian Ethics grade to Bible memory. Your first Bible memory assignment is to choose a verse (or more) from Philippians 1 and memorize it. You will be required to say your verse aloud or write it down, and share what the verse means and the significance of the verse it to you. Remember to memorize the reference as well! Philippians Chapter 1 memory verse test date: Tuesday, September 27th

Parents!

I want to say thank-you to all the parents who made it out to Meet The Teacher Night last night. It was great to meet you and briefly share what happens in "Miss Anholt's Class" and the expectations that I have for my students. Any parents who were not able to attend and would like the outline of what I shared please email me (anholta@spsd.sk.ca) and I can send you a copy. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me. I do look forward to partnering with you this year. Miss Ashley Anholt anholta@spsd.sk.ca

Ride for Refuge

After some discussion in class there was some interest for me to register a class team for the City-wide Ride for Refuge. So I registered 'Miss Anholt's Class' team and I invite you to join the team or sponsor one of the riders. Parents, friends, siblings, and students are all welcome to join! All riders will need to register for the team at the link below. All riders under the age of 15 are required to have the waiver signed by a parent/guardian before they ride. Pledges can be made online, on the rider's or team's profile, or by cash to cheque to the rider. Currently, our team's pledges will go towards the Bridge on 20th. I will take responsibility for supervising any of my homeroom students who want to participate in the event, but will not be responsible for any younger siblings or friends who want to ride. In this case, I invite parents/guardians to join the ride and help with supervision. The link to join or sponsor the Ride for Refuge team:The Ride for Refuge - Love, Sweat & Gears
