January 26/24

Your children are amazing artists!



We have been finishing our winter unit and continuing Canada, this week we learned about Saskatchewan and Manitoba.  We will be presenting our Winter poems this next week (with so many sick last week we only had one presentation).

With all this rainy weather please ensure that your child has an extra set of clothes or at least extra socks, the school's field area is very wet with lots of puddles that of course are very inviting!

Our Spelling Program is starting next week.  There will be a letter in your child's planner on Monday explaining the program.  

Next week during our gym classes we are very fortunate to have roller blading, the Fairview PAC has paid for someone to come in to offer this experience.  Everything will be provided but if your child has their own equipment they could bring it in and coach Tracy will inspect it.  Our gym days are Wednesday and Thursday. A fantastic opportunity to try or practise inline skating.

Volunteer needed to help with an art project.  Please let me know if you'd be available to come in to paint with the students we are hoping to paint a night scene and learn about shades and tints.

Wednesday, Feb. 14th - Valentines Day (class names will be on next week's post)

 HAPPY NEW YEAR!

What a crazy week of weather! Hopefully you were able to spend some quality time outside with your families in the snow before all this rain hits!

All the students brought home a poem in their planner.  Please have your child practise this as they will be presenting with their Reader's Workshop group hopefully next week. 

Div. 13 really enjoyed joining Mrs. Drafi's class to learn how to make Word Art on a computer.  Mrs. Drafi and Mrs. Scott said the students were all engaged and on task for 40 minutes which resulted in a neat word picture!
