A couple of brief notes:
1. I have reorganized my site slightly to make finding new links easier, especially the new Human Body Project. Hopefully, you find this helpful. I'll continue to do this as new content streams are added.
2. Links on the Science page lead to question sheets for each group to answer. Some groups may have more questions than others, but hopefully the work balances out since the questions will help guide more specific responses. I'm finding http://kidshealth.org/kid/ a useful starting point for research.
3. Today we watched a video and answered student questions about Mono Cliffs, our class trip coming up on November 28th. If parents have questions, please do email me at lisa.goegan@tdsb.on.ca and I'll do my best to answer them directly. Forms and money are due tomorrow, however; so hopefully you've managed to find the answers you need already and apologies if you've found the process challenging: this will be my first year at Mono Cliffs as well.
This has been an excellent, if busy, week in the classroom. I'm looking forward to our dramatic presentation of In Flanders Fields tomorrow at the Remembrance Day Assembly and to seeing many of you during interviews after school on Thursday and Friday morning next week. I'll be sending home scheduled times with reports. Thanks to those of you who have sent forms in already with preferences, it does help me when I'm scheduling.
All my best,
Ms. Goegan

Progress Reports
It seems like such a short time that I've been here at Indian Road Crescent, that it's hard to imagine that reports will be going home very soon. I've sent home forms for interview requests twice, but only received 10 or so back. Getting these organized will be a big job, with 29 kids in the class and several other teachers to coordinate schedules with, so please be patient, flexible, and get your preferences in as soon as possible!
We've got a couple of exciting things coming up in the next little while:
On November 10th, I'm expecting a visit from SciHigh, which will give students the chance to experiment with DNA and give the kids some insight into medical science.
On November 28 through 30, we're heading to Mono Cliffs for a few days of on-site environmental learning. Permission forms have been sent home regarding the trip and we hope to have them back promptly as well.
In late December, there's another field trip coming up as well to the National Film Board. On this trip, we'll have the opportunity to explore animation and make short stop motion films. I hope to see parents out on this trip, as it should be a good day out.
Again, I'm looking forward to having the chance to sit down and discuss student progress. Please stay in touch.
