Ms. Novak's Giving Tree
Every year at Christmas time my parish (St. Gregory) has a giving tree project where we donate gifts to children and families who are in need. It's a small thing to make someone's Christmas great.
This year I chose a 17 year old girl. The suggested gifts on the card are- cineplex movie passes, nail polish set, purse, curling iron and bath towels. If you or your families would like to contribute any gifts or donations toward this gift please bring them to school by Monday December 9th. Thanks in advance for your generosity!

Introducing ClassDojo!!
Dear students, parents and guardians,
We are going to try out something new in our class! ClassDojo is an interactive software that allows teachers to record student behaviours in real-time. I always like to focus on the positive choices and behaviours that I see each day, and this application will allow students and parents to see those daily accomplishments as well. As October begins, the expectations of our classroom are clearly established. It is my hope that ClassDojo will motivate my students and hold them accountable for their behaviour.
Each student will be given a student code so that they can check their daily progress.
Parents- You will also be given a parent code so that you can check your child's behavioural progress each day.
**Please sign and return the parent account if you wish to participate with ClassDojo**
Here is the link to the website. Please take a look around!

Thanks for your time and co-operation!
