Here we are well into 2010 and I have not blogged since November of 2009.
The year is passing all too quickly but going well. This Friday, February 19th, will be Day 100 if we do not miss any school days this week. All projects are due tomorrow, Wednesday, as they will be on display Friday. Parents and friends are welcome for the viewing after lunch in the cafetorium.
Thank you to all who provided treats for our Valentine's Day Party last Friday. We had lots of fun and everything was very tasty.
As my letter I sent home this week explained, we will be having less homework for the next while. I hope everyone continues to read every night and study spelling words. We will be regrouping for "Reading Club" again soon, so with consistent reading I am sure everyone will move up a level.
This Friday night "Planet 51" will be playing.
Please make sure homework comes in on or before Friday.
Have a great "rest" of the week.

Remembrance Day
We have a four day week this week with Remembrance Day on Wednesday. Please keep in mind that there is a service at the school beginning at 10:30 Wednesday morning.All are welcome,(maybe check on the time). Also, tomorrow, Tuesday at 12:45 our students will be attending a Remembrance Day Service in the cafetorium.
Grade two- eight spelling words for Friday's test. Check your child's agenda or homework duotang for these words. Also please see that your child brings a book home each night. I can not stress enough the importance of this nightly reading.
Gr. two students have brought home a form and brochure about flouride. Please sign this and return it as soon as possible. We will be starting this soon.
Report cards will be going home Mon. Nov. 16 th.Parent-Teacher Interviews will be held the evening of Wednesday Nov. 18th from 6:00-8:00 pm. and Thursday morning Nov. 19th from 9:00- 11:00. There will also be a Scholastic Book Fair in the Library the same week.
There will be no school for students on the 19th and 20th. Teachers have scheduled Professional Development sessions on these two days.
Thank you to those who have already contributed to the "books for schools" through World Vision. This is a very worthwhile project. Also we are going to be sending some small toys and other items to Afghanistan. Trevor O'Neill is currently there and is willing to distribute some things to the children. They have very little. We are asked to not send any toy guns or anything related to violence or war.
All the best to those of you heading out on the water to set traps this week. May you have a safe and prosperous season.

Hallowe'en approaches
The weather is certainly turning cooler. Please make sure your children have hats and mittens. The wind on the playground always makes it that much colder.
Consent forms have gone home regarding the H1N1 vaccinations. Please return the forms as soon as possible.
Grade two students will have a spelling test on Friday, only six words. These are in your child's agenda. Please read to your child and listen to him/her read to you. Also, the math sheet with "doubles" is in your child's duotang, back a few pages. Please see that your child knows these well. Homework is due FRIDAY.
We will have some Hallowe'en activities Friday afternoon. If your child wishes to bring a costume, he/she may put it on at noon.
Have a great week.

Fall has arrived!
September is almost over and the weather is definitely changing.
Grade Two - Homework is due on or before Friday. We have no spelling words yet to study, but all the boys and girls need to be reading every night. Please print neatly in all your work.
K-2- Everyone did a great job walking around the school last Friday for the Terry Fox Run. Thank you so much for your donations to this very worthwhile cause.
- Friday we have an assembly at 1:20 in the cafeteria.It is a new time this year, feel free to stop by.
- Once again we have Jackie Kinghorne visiting the K-2 classes and instructing them on handwashing. This is always so important, but especially this year with flu season fast approaching and the H1N1 flu.
- There is no school October 8th and 9th. That will make an extra long weekend for the students with Thanksgiving that weekend. Teachers have curriculum days.
Please continue to check your child's head for lice. On that note, have a great week. M. Cronk

Back in the groove.
Welcome back everyone and a warm welcome to those joining us for the first time. We are settling into our routines quite well and aren't so sleepy this week. Thank you parents for being so patient with the reams and reams of paper to read through. I know it is overwhelming to get so much information and then all the bookclub and magazine subscriptions too. A little reminder to please send in agenda money and your child's personal information sheet. Also we are asking for a loonie for the Terry Fox Run (walk) which we will all be participating in on Sept. 25th. K-2 just walk around the school a couple of times.
Grade Two homework went home for the first time this week. Please see that your child returns it on or before Friday, thanks to those who already have.Your child should be bringing home a book every night to read to you. I am so happy to see that they are printing their own titles and dates. There will be no spelling as such, for the next while.
The cafeteria should be up and running on Monday, Sept. 21st.
Enjoy the fallish weather. M. Cronk

Busy Week!
Another busy week is underway. Grade Two will not be having anymore homework, but of course everyone is expected to read everynight. The library has sent forms to us to send along to you about their summer reading program and also about a fun program called "Artrageous" (I think), that is happening this summer. Lots of fun activities are planned and there is no cost.
Thursday is our annual trip to the Anchorage Park. Hopefully we will have good weather, Friday is our raindate. We will leave at 11:00 and the buses will pick us up there to deliver us home at our regular time. Please be sure to pack sunscreen and a hat for your child. It is also a good idea to have your child's name on any toys or clothing. Things always tend to go missing, or show up and no one claims them. A hoodie or jacket would be a good idea too because we often get fog and/or wind. We will not be swimming.
Keep on reading and watch for fireflies, they should appear very soon. M. Cronk

June
Here it is Wednesday already! Things are definitely winding down.
Grade Two-
-This week grade 2 has one double-sided sheet for homework.
-There are ten spelling words in the agendas, PLEASE STUDY!
-Also, everyone needs to be reading nightly. I know everyone is busy, but we haven't had homework for two weeks and this is very important. I can really tell the difference in reading, with the boys and girls that read regularly and the ones who don't.Your child should have brought home a book, Miss Rumphius to read to you, at least a few pages to you, and the rest on his/her own.
Homeroom K-2
- Please remember to sign and return permission slips. There are a few Field Trips happening over the next couple of weeks.
Mrs. Jones has a link on her Blog with a short video of last Friday's events (Fun Day). Have a look.
Have a great week! M. Cronk
