April 20th

It is so nice to see the sunshine the last couple of days!  With our improving weather (hopefully) we have told the students that starting Monday that they will be going outside rain or shine for recess and lunch. When I was on supervision on Monday all three of the kindergarten classes were outside so we talked and said if they can do it so can we! Our district has adopted a 'west coast' policy which means students need to come prepared to go outside under any conditions (except lighting where is a safety issue).   I feel they need the exercise and fresh air.  Please send in an extra change of clothes for your child in case of accidents.  Thanks!

For Earth Day we had several different and fun activities.  We did a Recycling Relay with Dan from Recycling, made paper (also with Dan), and our reuse challenge of making shoes!  Thank you to everyone who sent in newspapers.  Below are some pictures from our day!

Dan had great games for us in the gym that all involved recycling!

We made shoes out of paper with Mrs. Howarth's class!

Learning about pulp and paper!

Reminder that Monday is class photo day.  I am suppose to be going to a workshop that day so if there is enough TTOC I will be away but we are hoping to arrange so that our classes can be first to get our pictures done.  

There are still a few students who have not returned their Health Talk forms (pink) next week.  Your child will only be able to participate with your permission.

Please go to the portal for our memory books and either pay online or send in the $10.00.Thank you!

Our field trip to Grouse Mountain is coming up on May 25th.  Ms Roberts and I are meeting next week to submit the permission on the portal.  This is a bus trip so there will be a limited number of parent volunteers.

Have a great weekend (hopefully sunny!)
