Please remember to have your child complete their Club RED calendar if they are reading each day and you should also be initialing each square. Completed calendars (with their names on them) should be returned at the end of next week. Monday the 6th at the latest. Our celebration will be March 10th when your child should wear red!
Monday we had our SPCA visit which focused on Kindness. In our Poetry and More books today we added a sheet that is homework based on what we learned about how to act around a stray dog. Please ensure your child does this and discuss it with them as this is a very valuable lesson. Thanks
We will be having our bake sale on Wednesday, March 8th. We are hoping that every student from both Div. 7 & 8 can bring in baked goodies or treats of some kind and we will also need some parents to help out with the sales at recess and lunch. Also on Thursday at recess if we have any leftovers.
A few of you have still not signed up for conferences next week so please do so asap. Please note that there is an early dismissal on Thursday (11:00) and there is no school Friday except for conferences. There will be no spelling next week due to the conferences.
100 Day was a success! I was so impressed with all the creative 100 projects that the students brought in! Ms Affleck came and did a cool lesson based on the book The Hundred Pound Problem. The students worked in partners to show their thinking and how they thought the problem could be solved. We also had 100 day stations so they rotated from our class where we did 100 actions, to Mrs. Roberts for a 100 Building Structures and then Mrs. Hutchins for math games. Please note we are trying to collect 100 cans to give to the food bank so if you could donate that would be great!
Some of you maybe noticed that I am now marking words in their spelling wrong if they have a capital letter when it isn't needed. We have worked on this extensively so feel that this might help them to realize the importance of only using upper case letters when needed.
Our skating field trip on March 9th went out on the portal this afternoon. We do need parent drivers - thank you in advance. This is our last skating for the year!
