Tuesday, May 30 - we will be presenting at the Student Star Assembly at 8:45 am
Wednesday, May 31 - Field trip to SPCA in the morning - many people have still not signed up please do so asap!
Please note the change of field trip to Rev's bowling - it is Thursday, June 15th please sign up on the portal.
Div. 7 won the pizza lunch contest from the PAC as we raised the most $ for the raffles! We will have this pizza lunch on Friday, June 23rd.
Our hallways are looking bare but not for long! On May 31st our Gallery Walk will be up and parents are welcome to come and see the amazing art projects that have been done by Fairview students over the last few weeks of school.

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!

Division 7 has had another busy week. This week in our body unit we learned about the small and large intestine and the kidneys. Ask your child about the experiments that we did for these. They were amazed to learn how long the small intestine is but were a little grossed out with how it mashes the food :( We will be doing a presentation at the next assembly singing all these body songs sharing all that they have learned about the human body.
In Math we are also learning more about multiplication and division. If you are wanting to help your child to understand these better, this is the way we are breaking it down...
# of groups X # of things in each group = total number
eg) I have 2 groups of 6 2x6=12 or 6 groups of 2 6x2=12
and total number divide by # of groups = # in each group
eg) 12 cookies divided by 2 people equals 6 - each person
(This way we are all explaining it the same way)
This weeks scientists were Angelina, Luca, Carson, Gianna and Gavin. All the students are doing a great job. This is not only a great way to learn about different science concepts but also an opportunity to practice their public speaking skills. Thank you for helping your child prepare.
Fidget spinners have definitely become very popular! They can come to school but they are only to be used at specific times (we have discovered they are a great toy but not really a fidget that helps us focus and calms our body and brains).
We have a special presentation in early June and are in the process of planning our year end field trip. I will be sending out more information about this very soon.
Hope you all have a wonderful Mother's Day weekend! Relax and enjoy!

Wow it's hard to believe it is already May!!
'The Earth Is In Our Hands' ....
To celebrate Earth Day we all brainstormed ways to save our planet and how we can all do our part as we realize what we do and don't do affects the earth!
'The Earth Is In Our Hands' ....
Our scientists, this week did a great job! Adam taught the class about static and magnetism.
Claire and Mason made lava lamps explaining how water and oil don't mix but when you add an ant-acid there is a chemical reaction. Claire also explained how water is a polar molecule and oil is non-polar.
On Thursday we finally had nice weather for our Falcon Fun!
We have also continued to work on our Body unit. Today we demonstrated how the stomach would digest banana and crackers! Ask your child about our experiment!
