Good Afternoon Killam Families!
I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving with your family! I feel like we were just welcoming November and here we are rolling into December this week!
Students have been working hard diving into Unit 2 of ARC Core, our new literacy program. All students are researching and collecting information about different ecosystems, animals, insects, etc! This will continue through the month of December and we hope to share our finished products in January!
Next week we welcome families to Killam for Family Conferences. Report cards will be shared in the portal on Monday, December 4th by the end of the day. In next week's newsletter, I will outline our standards based report card and provide additional information about term 1 reporting! Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions!
