April 21/23

Book walks are always really enjoyed by all students.  We started our Nutrition unit this week, and this was their first chance to look at our theme books.  


Happy Earth Day tomorrow, please take this opportunity to discuss with your child what they have learned and ways they can help save our precious planet.  We started a special  research project in the library with Mrs. Holmes.  So far we have been learning how to do take notes when we are reading texts. We are focusing on plastics in our oceans.  This weekend the students have homework, they need to make a list of  everything plastic that they encounter this weekend.  Please return on this list on Monday.  

You'll notice that the spelling lessons are getting harder.  It's important that your children review and practise the weekly pattern, I realize it is a challenge, (eg. all the different ways to make a long a sound - English is not easy!).

Next week we will be starting new Mystery Bags for our home reading.  Students should be bringing their book bags to school daily. 

Thursday, May 4th - Assembly which we are presenting our body songs, Tuesday, May 9th - Save On Foods, Wednesday, May 17- Skating - Please sign up on the parent portal for our upcoming field trips and to pay for your child's memory book.  If everyone can sign up as soon as possible and please also indicate if you can volunteer or drive for the field trip (even if you only want to drive your own child).  

Zoob has been a very engaging Exploration station.   Students have really used their imaginations!  Look at some of their creations.      

A hockey arena!

A purse!


A backpack!


A ball!
