(Review) word of the day: console

Congratulations to Michael, Jake, Kurt, and Marielle for appearing in today's spotlight assembly.
Everyone will have a chance to be in the spotlight this year, so if your child hasn't been honoured
with a spotlight appearance yet, they will be in either May or June.

There will be a cookie sale again tomorrow.


Grade One students need to practise for tomorrow's spelling test.

There will be a noon dismissal tomorrow.

A note regarding safety around the library construction activities was sent home today.

Word of the day: opaque

The first graders have been working hard on re-writes - listening to, and then summarizing stories. Our theme has been pirate stories. The class is doing very well at identifying and relating beginnings, middles, and ends, and then adding details about them. I thought yesterday's treasure hunt deserved a photo cameo in our blog - enjoy!








Reminders for Friday:
1. Study those pirate spelling words.
2. It's "Food Dress-Up Day".
3. There is an assembly in the gym at 2:30 to recognise and honour parent and community volunteers.

The first graders have been studying geometry, under the capable direction of Mrs. Hibberd. Soon there won't be a triangular prism or a cube or a pentagon that escapes their notice!

Word of the day: translucent

The first graders have a list of pirate spelling words to practise for this week. Study harrrghd!

The first graders dressed in pirate garb and had a treasure hunt through the halls of JES this morning - some fun!

This Friday is "Food Dress Up Day". Students are invited (but not required!) to dress as an item of food. This should be an intersting one!

This Friday afternoon the school is hosting an assembly to honour parent and community volunteers. The assembly will begin at 2:30 and will be held in the school gym. Mark it on your calendars!

Mrs. Hibberd has been guiding the class through some exciting "Boats and Bouyancy" activities. (Who knew you could make a boat out of plasticine?)
