Star of the Week

Beginning in November, we are introducing a new activity called “Star of the Week”.  Each week a different student will bring home the “Star of the Week” bag. Students are asked to create a poster using the enclosed “Star of the Week” page, as well as, pictures of themselves with family members/pets, on trips, playing sports, etc.  Along with the poster, students are welcome to bring in other items they may wish to share (i.e. sports memorabilia, ribbons, special certificates, etc.). The final task of the “Star of the Week” is to choose their favourite book and bring it in to be read to the class. The “Star of the Week” bag will be sent home the week prior and all items are to be brought to school on the assigned Monday.

Please help us make this activity a hit by assisting your child as they gather their special items and write/draw about themselves.  It is sure to be an exciting opportunity for the students to share about their interests, talents, and families with one another!

Look for the weekly schedule to be sent home Monday, November 5th.

November Calendar Now Posted

Library Books

Students thoroughly enjoyed going to the Learning Commons today!

Due to the growing size of our school, this year we will be checking out books on a bi-weekly basis.  This means library books are due back by Tuesday, October 30th.

Editor's Checklist

When writing at home, have your child use this Editor's Checklist to check their "CAPS"!

Photo Day Changed

Please note that the dates for school photos have been switched around.

Gr. 3's to 6's are now on Tuesday, October 23rd.

Kinders to Gr. 2's are now on Wednesday, October 24th.

Science Show & Share

The grade 2s have started to learn about simple machines and movement.  To further our inquiry-based Science unit, we are asking the students to bring in a picture or an example of an object that can move.  It should fit in a ziploc bag and be sent in no later than Friday, October 19, 2018.

The students will present their examples to the class.  We are asking for your assistance in helping them practise what they are going to say when they share (what is it called, what it does, and how it moves, i.e., does it spin, roll, push, pull?) Many thanks for your help and support with this.

Pledge Forms Due

Tomorrow is our Jump Rope for Heart event!  Please have your child return his/her pledge form.
