Remember to wear red for our school photo tomorrow afternoon!

May 29, 2017

Here we go: into the last gasps of May already. Where has the time gone?

Thanks to everyone who returned spelling test books and energy cube books today. I'll watch for the rest of the books to be returned soon.

This Thursday there will be a group picture with our school and the high school, to help celebrate Canada's 150th birthday.  Please have your child wear a red top, if possible, for this photo.

This Friday is Class Picture Day! Woop Woop! We practised our smiles with the grade one students here in  Room Four last Friday morning. (We'll keep working on it ... we were thinking the teeth needed a little cleaning first ...  Check out our smile model below.)

Please sign and return the spelling test books asap. Thanks.

The Energy Cube Run at Centennial Park was a big hit! It looks like our second grade class is full of great athletes! The runners - and the weather -  were outstanding!

Enjoy May's last weekend!

Study for tomorrow's spelling tests!

Thanks to Sadie's mom (again!) for doing the Brain Boost program!

We will be having a school-wide Energy Cube challenge tomorrow afternoon: running around Centennial Park! Please send your child with appropriate footwear, and a water bottle, and apply sunscreen at home if you feel the day will warrant UV protection. Thanks!

Please remember that this will be our last week of the Energy Cube Challenge and that the booklets should return to school next Monday morning. Thanks!

What a change in the weather today! Sheesh!

Thanks so much to Niko's mom and Hailey's mom for helping out with Brain Boost today. We really appreciate you - and the brain boost!

This is the final week of the school's energy cube challenge; please try to send  your child's energy cube record to school asap if you haven't already done so. I'll return the booklets the same day they arrive at school, so that your child can keep on collecting cubes at home.

Thanks so much to Sadie's mom for helping out with brain boost this morning!

Thanks, as well, to everyone who sent snacks/cookies/muffins etc. for our recess sale. We'll count our earnings tomorrow (and also return the food containers tomorrow).

Reminders for Friday:

1.Study for the spelling test.
2. Students will be dismissed at noon.
3. It's Twin Day tomorrow! If you haven't got a "twin", dress in something blue (or a dark colour) on the bottom and white on the top.
4. We're having our Jump Rope for Heart skipping event tomorrow after recess. Cross your fingers for good weather!

Thanks so much to Carson's mom and Dustin's mom for looking after Brain Boost for our school - two days in a row! I know it's not easy to find the time to do this job. Please know that your efforts are really appreciated!

Here are some reminders for the upcoming week:

1. There is a noon dismissal for the students this Friday.

2.  The student council is sponsoring a Twin Day this Friday. The idea is to find another person and plan to dress in the same clothing, or wear the same hair ... something to make you look like a twin! If anyone can't find a partner to "twin" with, everyone in Room Four is invited to wear something blue on the bottom (pants, a skirt, shorts, etc.) and something white on the top. Who knows? Maybe we'll all look like twins!

Mrs. Lawson's Kindergarten/Grade One class is having a cookie/snack sale this Thursday at recess. (I'm sure Mrs. Lawson has sent home a note regarding this already.) The first grade students are going to be looking after the recess sale with me, in the front foyer of the school. Please send your contributions to the sale to our classroom (Room Four) first thing in the morning this Thursday. Thanks!

Freewheel Cycle is having their annual free bike check-up tomorrow after school in the area near the playground. Your child is welcome to bring their bike for a once-over from the good people at Freewheel. Thanks, Freewheel team!

The school will be participating in a Jump Rope for Heart skipping event this Friday morning. If you'd like to contribute to this fund-raiser, you can pick up a pledge sheet from the office.

That should about do it for today. Just one final thought: if anyone can locate the person in charge of this May weather, please ask them to warm things up a bit! Enough cold air is enough!
