May 19th

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!

Thanks to everyone who has already signed up.  Also please mark Thursday, June 22 afternoon  on your calendars, we will be going to Rev's for disco bowling as  our year end field trip.  You will be receiving a permission form via the parent portal about this upcoming field trip at the Maple Ridge bowling alley in the near future. Thanks to the PAC we will only be charging $2.00 for the bowling and a special Water Wise Presentation by the A.R.M.S. society that our class will have on June 7th. 

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!
