This week in review......

It was great to see some parents out for Parent /Teacher visits and the Scholastic Book Fair at the library.
It certainly has been a hectic time with flu, colds, weather and boat issues. Hopefully we will be able to get back on track this next week. Homework will be due on or before Thursday, as Friday is Good Friday.
Monday, TNB will be here performing a play. The cafeteria will have a limited menu ( I believe, listen for talk-mail) and we will be eating in our rooms. The cost of the play has been included in the Student Fee your child brought in back in the fall, unless you haven't paid the second installment.
Please return your child's report card envelope with your signature on the back, keep the report.
That is it for this week.
We are preparing for our Provincial Literacy "assessment" which will take place the end of May and early June. There is a combination of short stories, letters, cartoons and experiments that your child reads, then answers 10-12 multiple choice questions. It is challenging. In order for child to be successful, he/she needs to be able to read independently and answer questions about the text such as:
main idea, recalling facts and details, comparing and contrasting, sequence, and author's purpose. By reading every night, your child should be able to do this with confidence and do well. Please ensure they are reading.
Have a great week.

They say spring is just around the corner......hmmmm.

More weather. The playground is quite a mess, please be sure your child wears skipants for awhile yet. If it should go above freezing, it might be a good idea to send extra pants and socks in case your child gets wet.
Report cards are going home March 25th, Parent/Teacher Interviews to follow the end of that week.
I will wait until Wednesday 18th before sending in the book order.
Please see that your child returns his/her library book on, or before Wednesday. Homework is due on or before Friday. Please remind your child to read every evening. If he/she should forget to bring home a book, just read one from home. Send in the Log Book too please, at least every couple of days.
Have a great week, and Happy Spring on Friday.
