Hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful summer! We have been so lucky with such amazing weather! Hopefully none of you have been affected by the terrible wildfires that are burning in our province and if you are, our thoughts are with you.
I just got a new work computer so am excited to be using it! I went on the portal and saw that several parents have not yet viewed their child's report cards. Not being a parent in the district I am not sure exactly how it works but please check the parent portal and hopefully it is straight forward.
Have lots of fun this last month of holidays!

Wow it's hard to believe that June is half over. We had more coding fun with our big buddies...
Bowling was a huge success as the children all reported back that it was awesome. Thanks again to all our parent drivers :)
Fun Day - was also lots of fun! Thanks to all parents who made this special day possible.
Upcoming activities and notices...
Next Wednesday some of the classes are having a special red and white day to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday! If possible your children should wear anything red or white!
Next week we will be collecting all JRR books (I will be doing this Tuesday or Wednesday so I can return them all to the bookroom for inventory - please encourage your child to finish their books). Also if everyone could please look at home for any classroom or library books. I have already had several students bring in a piles of books. Thanks!
Please help your children practice the body poem that is in their book bag and poetry and more duotang. They will be presenting these as part of a group next week and some of the words are challenging!
Pizza lunch for Div. 7 is on Friday, June 23rd. Please still send in snacks and other food for their lunch as they will only be getting a couple of pieces of pizza each.

June 9th
We had a presentation from ARMS on Wednesday that taught us all to be WaterWise! It was interesting, taught us the water cycle and made us all realize how limited water really is! Only 3% is drinkable so we talked about different ways to conserve water. This would be a great conversation to have at home.
Jake, Rachel and Nathan were our Scientist this week. We learned a great way to clean pennies, how to create bubbles and heat and a different way to make elephant toothpaste!
Next Thursday, June 15th we are bowling in the afternoon. Please sign up and send in the $2 (with your child's shoe size) as soon as possible. We have enough drivers so will probably drive some of Mrs. Robert's students as they are short a couple spots. Thanks to the Fairview PAC for helping to pay for both of these special activities.
I sent out an email about chicken pox but I just wanted to remind you that the boy from Mrs. Robert's class had been vaccinated and was at school while he was contagious. Unfortunately you are contagious before you even know you have it and because we often combine classes I thought it was important for you to know and to keep a look out. A fever is often a first sign.
3 classes (Mrs. Robert's and our grade 2/3 and Mrs. Hutchin's grade 3) have planned some cool math stations focusing on Geometry, Fractions and Measurement. Over the next few weeks we will be rotating from class to class. This week Div. 7 worked on fractions with me. If you could discuss and review these at home that would be great e.g.) you are having pizza - how much of the pizza did you each eat? 2/8ths or 3/10ths?
We also started new explorations stations. Ask your child about Lego Math? Our Body Science - we have some pretty cool stuff at this station!
Volunteer Tea on Tuesday, June 13th in the afternoon, hopefully you can make it. I want to thank all of you for your support and your help this year. I have felt very lucky to have such a great group of parents!!
Next Friday is Fun Day hopefully we will have nice weather!

Buddies this week was pretty cool as we were coding and learning how to program the Dash and spheros.
Our field trip to the SPCA was a big success. Thanks to all our parent drivers who made this trip possible. The children loved seeing Lyle the pot belly pig, the guinea pigs, cats, rats, sheep, the cow and llama plus the horses. They reviewed the 5 rules we need to remember when we are around animals focusing on their well-being. We gave them our donation of $527.55, they were very thankful. Thanks again to all the parents who sent in goodies for our bake sale, This whole project we used as our community goal helping the students realize they can make a difference.
We had our last Falcon Fun and despite getting a bit wet it was once again enjoyed by all.
Reminder that Thursday, June 15th is our bowling field trip. Please sign up if you haven't and send in the $2.00 asap. Thanks
Spelling this next week is a review and will be our last spelling lesson of the year. The students will be putting dots on every second word and writing those words in their planners. These are the words I will test them on. Please note I forgot to hand out the quizzes from this week, I will do that on Monday, Sorry.
Our year end celebration will be on Wednesday, June 28th. Alanna, Joe, Sam, Eli, Angelina and Gavin will be supplying the goodies. I will send out another reminder close to the date.

Scientists this week were Sienna, Ashton, Sam and Charlotte. Ask your child about 'walking water', 'elephant toothpaste', 'lemon light' and 'can you bend water with a balloon'! All four very cool experiments!
We are now finished our healthy living stations with our buddies. A big thank you to Mrs. Carpenter for helping out for each of the six rotations.
I have now added a gadget to this blog that will allow you to get email reminders when I have updated the blog, sorry I know it is the middle of May :( I had forgotten I did that last year!
Field trip to SPCA on May 31st - you should have gotten a notice on the portal. We do need parent drivers, it is in Surrey but it is a straight forward 25 minute drive.
Please ensure that your child is practicing his/her 'Body Poems' as we will be presenting these at the student star assembly on May 30th.
A parent from Mrs. Robert's class told her about a cool opportunity through Value Village. If you take in a clothing donation your child will get a free book! This is a great way to add to your home/the classroom library: https://www.valuevillage.com/donate
Here is a message from our librarian, Mrs. Neufeld:
'The Library will be closing down for the summer a bit early this year, because we are going to do inventory. Last day for book exchange will be May 31. All books must be back into the Library by June 5. Fines and late books must be paid by June 21. I will send home a notice for overdue books! However, if students owe money for a book but cannot find it or pay for it, they may bring a' like-new' book from their house to replace it'.
A reminder to please make sure your child is appropriately dressed for the weather as we do spend time outside each day. If your child is wearing sandals as the weather heats up please include runners/socks in your child's backpack to ensure they are ready for action! Sunscreen, hats and water bottles are also a great idea.
Hope everyone has a wonderful long weekend (it looks we might even have some nice weather!)
Please remember that next Tuesday, May 23rd there is no school for students as it is a Pro D day. Also note that there will be no spelling next week due to the short week. Hawaiian Day is next Friday!
