Snow! Snow! Snow!

Well it looks like "Day100" will be Monday, February 23rd. . Let us hope. Projects need to be in by this Wednesday. The students will be presenting them during math class starting tomorrow, as we already have a few in. All the projects will be on display next Monday afternoon," Day 100", in the Great Hall/Cafeteria.
We will begin our homework in class on Tuesday because of our four day week. This will give everyone a good start. Remember to be reading regularly, actually a good pastime with weather like this.
Have a good "rest" of the week.

Happy Valentine's Day....coming up.

Tuesday, February 10th our class will be going curling during Gym time. Please send in your "signed", blue permission slip if you can find it, or a note in your child's agenda saying your child has permission to go curling.
Friday Feb. 13th is a teacher Professional Development Day, no school for students. Therefore we will be exchanging valentines and celebrating on the afternoon of Feb. 12th.
Day 100 is looking like the 19th of Feb., that is if we do not have any more snow days before then.
Projects should be in by the 17th as the children will be presenting them in class as they come in.

Ground Hog Day!

No shadow today for Mr. Groundhog. Either way I am pretty sure we will have at least six more weeks of winter.
Regular homework this week. Please remind your child to return his/her library book by Wednesday. Tuesday, if the weather cooperates, Mrs. Russell will be taking our class to the curling rink for Gym class. Please send along helmets and warm clothing. We still need a couple of permission slips as well.
Book orders are due on Friday, Feb. 6th.
A letter is going home Monday with information about "Day 100" and 100-Day projects. There is also a list of your child's classmates being sent home in preparation for our Valentine's Day Celebration which will be held on Thursday, Feb. 12 th. Friday the 13th is a PD day for teachers so there is no school for students.
Due to snow days we are not sure yet when "Day 100" will be. Right now it looks like the 17th or thereabouts.
Have a good week.

Last week of January

Spelling Test results were much improved over last week. We had a test on "doubles" and "magic numbers". Three people got 100%. Great job! We will do this again in a couple of weeks' time, let's hope for a few more perfect tests.
Please remember Wednesday is 'library' day, books should be returned that day.
Also, Tuesday our class will be going curling again during gym class. Please remember to send in the "signed" blue forms ( if you haven't already), along with helmets, warm clothing and loose pants. The boys and girls are really enjoying learning to curl.
Please be reading with your child regularly, it makes such a difference.
Have a a great week!

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.
