Parents, please sign and return the spelling test books Monday morning.  Thanks.

Remember that students are invited (but not required) to dress as a book character or in something representing Canada Monday.


Thanks to everyone who supported our "Stuffy and Tell" Day! Here are some photos of the participants ... enjoy!

Tonight's golden envelope reading for the first graders concentrates on the "ch" sound. If you want an extra challenge for your child, have them write down all the "ch" words they find in the book.


Both grades have a spelling test tomorrow.

Both grades have Stuffy and Tell tomorrow.

There will be a small snack sale (one item per person, please) tomorrow at recess.

Remember that Monday is "Dress as a Book Character" or wear something that represents Canada.

Keep up the great golden envelope reading, everyone! Tonight's envelope stresses and reviews the "sh" sound. Some of the students have been remarking that they're finding the stories easy, and they're reading them with more expression - great to see!

Thanks to everyone who returned the signed skating permission forms. Hopefully the ice will hold out for next Wednesday afternoon ...

There will be a showing of the movie Homeward Bound in the gym tomorrow after school. If your child wants to attend, they should bring a toonie and meet in the gym at 3:30.

Remember that there will be a snack sale tomorrow at recess.

Remember that this Friday we are having a Stuffy and Tell Day where the children will bring a stuffy to school and tell us all about it!

Here are some reminders/notifications about upcoming events:

There will be a cookie/snack sale this Thursday morning at recess. Raid those quarter collections again!

This Friday we will have a Stuffy and Tell Day, where both the first and second graders are supposed to bring a stuffed animal/character from home and tell about it.

Next Monday the student council is sponsoring a Dress as a Storybook Character Day. Students are invited (but not required!) to dress as a character from a story, or to dress in something that represents Canada.

Please have all skating permission forms in by this Friday. If you need a replacement form, let me know and I'll round one up for you.  Thanks.

The first graders' book is all about the "X" today. As well, it reinforces all the rules and word families we've covered to date. Thanks so much for your support at home with the golden envelope reading. The more the students read, the better they get!

Thanks to everyone who supported our "Winterruption Day" today by sending summery objects/clothing with their children. Here is some photo evidence of our Winterruption Day. Enjoy!

Please sign and return the spelling test books that went home today.

Also, the first graders have a note/permission form in their golden envelopes. The note gives information regarding a upcoming school-wide skating activity at Jasper Park Lodge. Please sign and return the form asap.

Let's keep recording those Read-a-thon minutes on the home reading calendar sheets, everyone!

Have a great weekend!
