February 1st, 2018

February is Club RED month at Fairview!  You should have received the letter and calendar on Wednesday.  Please note that tomorrow Friday, Feb. 2nd is Flashlight reading, Div. 9 is super excited because we will be reading with Mrs. Van Buuren's kindergarten class.  If possible please send your child with a favourite picture book and a flashlight that day.  

Your child is also bringing home another place value sheet that needs to be done for homework.  It is similar to the one they did a couple weeks ago.  Thanks for your assistance with this.

Treat Day is on Tuesday and Wednesday Feb. 6 & 7th at lunch
- TCBY frozen yogurt $2.00 or chips/doritos for $1.00. ***Thanks again to our PAC!
There is also a bake sale on Feb. 8 that our Leadership students are putting on to raise money for Haiti.

Valentine's Day is February 14th.  I did put a list of all students in Div. 9 on the blog a couple weeks for you to use when your child is doing their valentines.  It is also Poem in a Pocket Day so students are encouraged to bring a poem in their pocket to share with adults and their classmates. 

Come Read With Me - on Thursday, Feb. 15 from 6 - 7 at Fairview.  Learn how to help your child become a life-long reader!  This program will give you examples of how to help children read naturally and have fun at the same time!  Babysitting and snacks will be provided plus an opportunity if you'd like afterwards to immediately use some of these new skills and read with your child from 7- - 7:30.  We are very fortunate to have our the Literacy Committee sponsor this program.  If you are available to attend please RSVP: Maria_temlett@sd42.ca     We are really hoping to get a good turn out for this as like mentioned in our Club RED letter - home reading is drastically decreasing and this is such an important and enjoyable activity for everyone!

Our next skating field trip on Tuesday, Feb. 20th is now up on the portal.

It will be the 100th day of school on Tuesday, February 27th.  Please remember that we are 'wearing' our 100 day project this year!

Yikes - February is going to be a very busy but fun month!
