Happy Easter!

Yikes! Where has this week gone? We are halfway through this one as it is a four day week.
Miss Guptill is settling in to K-2 and we all welcome her, we miss Mrs. G.G. and wish her all the best.
We have had a busy week so far, here in K-2. Monday the boys and girls wore pedometres to keep track of the number of steps they took throughout the day. There were some surprising results. Grades 3-5 will be taking a turn tomorrow, as well as the teachers. The drama group performed their play Monday evening for the public. They did it for K-5 this morning and did a fine job. Off to the mainland to perform in St. Andrew's tomorrow. Bravo !! Many thanks to Mrs. Jones and Ms. Parker for all the hours they have dedicated to practices and to the boys and girls.
Grade Two- Please study those tricky spelling words every night, your test is Thursday. Be sure to bring in your homework early this week as there is no school on Friday.
Science East was a big success! The children really enjoyed the "hands-on" activities and most of them were able to get in for two visits.
Your child has brought home a packet with information on " jump rope for Heart and Stroke"( that's not quite the correct wording) but please check their agenda bags and you will see what I mean. Have a nice "long" weekend !

Spring is officially here but it is still quite chilly on the playground. Dress warmly.
The spelling words this week are in your child's agenda. We are concentrating on the "aw" sound. Please sign your child's spelling test that he/she brought home Monday and return it.
Read every night. Most of you are doing a fantastic job! Keep it up!
Also could you please have your child check back in his/her homework duotang and correct any mistakes that have not been corrected.Thank you.

Wednesday, March 23rd is a half day for students. Teachers will be doing professional development.
Have a great week.

February

It is chilly out there!
This week the Grade two spelling words are: play, father, use, mice, side, wink, flight, fine, now and drink. Please study these words until you know them well. I am pleased with the last few week's spelling test results. Keep up the good work! Everyone needs to be reading a book or a chapter every night. Make sure it is "just right" for you.
We have an exciting event planned for Friday February 4th. At 10:00 am., parents of K-2 and grade five, are invited to a French Culture Assembly in the Great Hall.
(Grandparents are welcome too). It will last approximately one hour.
Also Scholastic Book orders are due Friday but I will wait until next Monday to send the order.
February 9th we have Theatre New Brunswick coming to perform. This is always exciting and anticipation is already in the air. The cost is $3.00/child. Thank you to those who have sent in their money.
Have a great week everyone.
