Another week is yet upon us. Let us hope for a continuation of these milder temperatures.
The results of our Friday spelling test were not very good. We had colour words and only two students had them all correct. These words are grade one "no excuse" words and are all familiar to them.
We will be having a test on our "doubles" and "magic numbers" this Friday, practice, practice, practice.
A reminder that Drama will not be over until 3:15 pm. from now on. Please make arrangements to pick up your child at that time.
Tomorrow, January 20th is our trip to the curling rink. Mrs. Russell will take students there by bus and return after one hour. Please remember to have your child equipped with a helmet and warm clothing ( loose pants).
Have a great week.

Well as it turns out, one of our new students has returned to Ontario and the other did not arrive. There you go, back where we started. So let us hope for a regular week. Book orders will be sent in on Tuesday. Please keep reviewing "doubles" and "magic numbers" with your child, also remember to read regularly.
Elementary Drama has resumed.
Enjoy your week. The day length is increasing, yeah!

Happy New Year!

Here it is 2015! Hard to believe.
I hope everyone is rested and ready to embrace the new year. We welcome two new students, Marina Oweida and Brianna Doucette- Middleton, whom we have not yet met.
It is a four day week for students but we still will have our regular amount of home work. As always, please have your child read every day/ evening. Please start practicing and/or reviewing "doubles" and "magic numbers", there is a sheet with these in your child's homework duotang.. Please make sure your child returns his/her library book on or before Wednesday.
It looks like a cold week, bundle up for the playground.

The pace is ramping up! This week we have a few special days. Tomorrow, Dec. 9th is Toque day, be sure to wear your favourite toque. Dec. 10th is Frosty the Snowman Day, wear white if you can. Also, Wednesday is our "Book and Healthy Snack Sale" Day. Please send any donations you might have tomorrow and/or Wednesday. Your child should be able to get a book and a snack for $1.00 or $2.00.
This will be our last week for homework before the holidays. It would be nice to keep reading nightly though. :)

We had a great "Pink Week" last week which finished up with a visit and wonderful performance from Tenille last Friday. Many thanks to Ms. Ward and Student Council for all the time and work that went in to organizing the entire week, we really appreciate all you do.
Tomorrow is Thursday already and tonight is "The Children's Christmas Hour" at the Library tonight. It starts at 6:15 pm.
December 4th the Elementary Drama Club is performing "A Flea on Santa's Tree"at 6:00 pm in the Great Hall. Donations will be appreciated.
December 5th is BLUE and GOLD Day, remember to wear our school colours. Book orders are also due on this day but I wait until Monday to send the order in.
Try to get some reading done with your child, I know everyone is very busy but it can be a nice, cozy quiet time too.
Enjoy the week!

This week will be another four day week. We started our homework in class yesterday so everyone would have one page pretty well finished. It is a busy time for all and I have noticed some of the boys and girls have been neglecting their nightly reading. Please encourage them to read a book or a chapter each night. The spelling words are in their agendas, they are getting a bit trickie,r they need to study, study, study.
