(Review) word of the day: wise

Reminders for tomorrow:
1.  Grade one students have a spelling test.
2.  Book orders are due.  (This will be our final book order of the year.)
3.  We've been given tree seedlings for all the grade one students.  If you'd like a seedling, please let me know and I'll send one home with your child tomorrow.

(Review) word of the day: lethargic

Remember that book orders are due this Friday.  (This will be our final book order of the year.)

I'm planning on sending the tie-dyed socks home on Friday.  PLEASE RINSE THEM WELL BEFORE YOUR CHILD WEARS THEM OR BEFORE YOU WASH THEM WITH OTHER CLOTHING!  We rinsed them well at school, but additional at-home attention is recommended.  (This project turned out really well, by the way.  I'd buy a pair of socks like the ones the students created!)

Today was our last "Baby Arlo" day.  We're all sad that he won't be coming to Room 4 on a regular schedule any more, but we know we'll see him out and about Jasper!  Thanks so much to Ashley and Clifford for sharing their baby's milestones with us!

Thanks, also, from the gals of Room 4, to Michael for our Friday lei surprises!  You're the best, Michael!

There will be a cookie sale tomorrow.  Dig out those quarters!

A note from the principal went home today and should be in the pocket of your child's agenda.

(Review) Word of the Day: serene

Grade One students have an "ound" spelling list this week - with the addition of the word beautiful.  Study hard!

We had quite a day of "22" today: it was the date, it was the number of feet on the bed in Don and Audrey Wood's book The Napping House, it was 20 to 11 when we were discussing the number 22, and student #22 was chosen for the ever-popular "Draw for Sam".  Coincidences galore!

If parents have not yet had time to check out the tie-dyed socks outside our classroom, please stop in for an eyeful of cool (wearable!) art!

My apologies for not posting for the last little while; things have been pretty busy here in Room 4 at good old JES and my postings have been back-burnered because of that.

Word of the day today: revise

Tomorrow is Wacky Shoe Day.  Students are invited (but not required) to wear or bring some crazy footwear to school .

There will be a noon dismissal for students tomorrow.

First graders have a spelling test tomorrow.  Study hard!

We survived our first day without the amazing Mrs. Hibberd, who has now completed her university studies and has returned to her husband and home in B.C.  We miss her already!  Many thanks, Mrs. Hibberd, for the treats all the students found in their mailboxes today!  We hope you had a nice sleep-in this morning!


Check out the photos of our first grade t-shirt project from last week.  (What a good looking bunch of  designer/models we have!)
