By now you have all seen your child's report card. Please return the signed envelope and the slip of paper regarding parent/teacher interviews. I look forward to seeing you Thursday or Friday unless we've spoken and you are not planning to attend.
K-2
* Today TNB performed Charlotte's Web, it was fantastic and enjoyed by all. Thanks for sending your toonies.
* We also want to thank Ms. Ward for providing K-2 with fruit and vegetable trays last week and this, along with bottled water. What a treat for the kids, they've really enjoyed it, THANK YOU MS. WARD!
* Please remember the Book Fair this week. Check out the flier in your child's agenda bag. There is a chance to enter a contest and win $25.00 worth of books for your child and an additional $25.00 for your child's homeroom.

Grade Two-
~ Homework is due Thursday and spelling test is on Thursday as well (please be studying).
~ Continue to read, and do be watching for signs of spring, check out the snow geese at the Castalia Marsh.
Have a great (short) week. M. Cronk

It Doesn't Feel or Look Like Spring.....

Spring is actually here I know, but it is still very cold on the playground. Please be sure your children are dressed warmly. They need hats, mitts and ski pants especially if it's windy. Don't put the winter jackets away just yet.
K-2
*Thanks to those who have brought in their TNB toonies,and a little reminder for those who haven't yet.
*The annual Teddy Bear Fair will be held this Saturday, March 28th at the Saint John Regional Hospital, please check your child's agenda for details.
*Report cards will be coming home in about a week's time.
*Parent-teacher interviews are the 2nd and 3rd of April (Thurs. evening 6:30-8:00 and Fri. morning 9:00-12:00)
*April 1st there is a MADD presentation at 1:00pm.
*Scholastic Book Fair - April 2nd and 3rd (maybe check on those dates)

Happy St. Patrick's Day !

I think Spring is just "around the corner". Let us hope.
K-2 - a little update on report cards, they will be going home around March 31st.
The Scholastic Book Fair will be held April 1st and 2nd with Parent/Teacher Interviews on Thursday, April 2nd from 6:30- 8:00 pm. and Friday April 3rd from 9:00-12:00.am.

TNB will be performing Charlotte's Web on March 31st. Thank you to those who have already sent in their $2.00. If you haven't, please try to get it in as soon as you can. We look forward every year to having them come. Opportunities like this don't come around too often and it is very costly to bring something like this to Grand Manan.

Grade Two - Spelling results have NOT been good for the most part lately. I expect everyone to be studying his/her spelling words every night. I can understand getting one or two incorrect, but I am seeing tests where there are only one or two right.Please be writing these words out nightly until you know them well. Remember your reading every night too. That is how you become better at reading and also there are so many wonderful books out there at your fingertips!
Don't forget to wear green on Tuesday! Have a great week! M.Cronk
