Happy Vacation!

Happy Vacation Aurorians!

We hope you all have had quite the start to a much needed (and earned) vacation! Students have finished so much this Trimester. From their first writing unit, Global read-aloud, multiplication and division strategies, and two lengthy social studies and science units. You all have done such an amazing job; Ms. Lamb and Ms. Roberge are so proud!

When we return from break, students will head back into social studies, continue (and quickly complete) their Volume unit in math, as well as their Reading unit in LA. This is not before we follow through with our EPIC/Aurora Fall Festival on Monday! 

Report cards will be mailed home on December 3rd, 2018. Which means we are moving forward into Trimester 2! If you have any questions about this, please let us know. 

Have a great week!

Team Aurora has a new blog post!

Hello Extended Aurora Team.

It's hard to believe it is November already. It seems we were just meeting you at the Watermelon Welcome in August!

We had a FABULOUS showing at student led conferences. Every conference was wonderfully led by your students. It was a great experience for us (and I hope for parents as well.)

We had several exciting events on Friday. First, we all practiced bus evacuation.  Then we had a lovely video performance from Mountainfilm on Tour.  At the ed of the day, we were entertained by this year's fall drama performance starring Abe, Verity, Emma, Abby, Anya, and some other kids from around the school😉

We plan to get our next VLOG created this week, so look forward to that.

As for work, we continue with our water unit in science, multiplying and dividing in math, reading Amal Unbound and communicating with our Global Read Aloud partners in Pennsylvania, and reading our book club books. Our first quarter ended last week, so everyone started a new EXP. Our trimester ends at Thanksgiving break (I know...so many different divisions.) Report cards will come home in the mail the week after vacation. More on that later as well.

We intend to celebrate our fantastic work on November 16th with an Epic Aurora Day of Fun.  Always remember to dress for the weather. We go outside every day (unless it's raining hard or below zero.) Enjoy your extra hour on Sunday. Thanks to everyone for your continued support.
