Feb. 9th

This has definitely been our shortest (and craziest!) week ever with both Monday and Tuesday being snow days and now we are off tomorrow.  Remember as well there is no school on Monday because of Family Day and Tuesday because of the Curriculum Implementation Day.  Our Valentine's celebration will be on Wednesday, Feb. 15th in the afternoon.   Students are welcome to bring valentines for their classmates - all the students names were posted on last weeks blog post.  Thanks to the following students for providing our yummy snacks.   Rachel - Fruit Tray, Luca - Veggie Tray, Charlotte - Cheese/crackers or small sandwiches, Mason - Sweet Treat,  Adam - popcorn/chips or pretzels, Shayla - other??.   We didn't get a chance to go on Spelling City for lesson 2 so it would be great if you could have your child practice over this long weekend.

Club RED Number Day was a success with lots of creative ideas for ways to display numbers. We had lots of numbers represented here but #5 seemed to be a favourite!

Today we were really lucky to have Claire's mom Lisa come to our class to teach us all about the importance of hand washing and whether Bugs Need Drugs?  Your child should have brought home a booklet about this - please review this with your child.  Div. 7 were great listeners during this presentation and seemed to really enjoy it!  Thanks again Lisa!
