Reminders for tomorrow include:

1.  Spelling test
2.  Homemade and Tell is due.  Students can bring anything they've made - or helped make - at home. Sewing projects? Playdough creations? Paintings? Lego constructions? Jewels?
3.  Wacky Hair Day will be here at last!  Can't wait to see what colours, hair additions, wigs, etc. will surface tomorrow.
4.  We'll be joining the other grade one class for a walking tour of historical sites in Jasper tomorrow afternoon.  We'll leave right after afternoon attendance is taken and should return sometime between 2:30 and 3:00.  Please ensure students are dressed appropriately.



Here are some cowpoke photos, in case you haven't been in to check out the bulletin board outside our classroom.  I think these photos have really captured the personalities of our first grade cowgirls and cowboys!

The students brought home lots of literature today, including:

1.  A notification regarding lice; please read the information on the note and check your child for lice.
2.  Permission forms to be completed and returned asap.  One of the notes outlines our plan to hike to Mina Lake.  Please note that we'll keep our eye on the bear situation and will NOT hike to Mina if the bear situation does not warrant a walk up the hill with a pack of first graders.
3. Book order forms for our final book order of the year. Stock up for the summer!
4. A sheet for this Friday morning's show and tell.  The theme this week is "Play and Tell"; students can bring a toy, a board game, a video game, a football - anything that they like to play with - to present to the class.

Tomorrow is "Wacky Walking Wednesday". Students and staff are challenged to avoid using vehicles to get to school - and and to be creative and have fun getting to good old JES.  Students in previous years have used wheelbarrows, stilts, decorated bikes, horses ... let's see what everyone can come up with tomorrow!
