May 9, 2018

There will be a snack sale tomorrow at morning recess. Snacks, as usual, will cost 50 cents each. (Do I smell the opportunity for some math challenges here? How many snacks could you buy with a loonie? With $2.00?)

The first graders were given trees to take home and plant today. All the necessary instructions are on the bag that the tree came home in. What a great opportunity to be environmentally considerate! We talked about the importance of picking an appropriate home for the tree, and the possibility of naming it, the potential it has to grow along with a first grade student ... great life lessons abound!

Thanks to everyone who returned the field trip permission forms for this Friday's trip to Lake Annette. We will be leaving around 11:45 and plan to return by the end-of-day dismissal bell. Please remember to send a garbage-free lunch and a water bottle in a backpack and to ensure that your child is dressed and prepared appropriately for the weather. Thanks. Thanks to Jake's mom and/or dad for volunteering their time to assist us with this day!
