May 11, 2018

Hope everyone has a wonderful Mother's Day weekend and that all the mom's get totally spoiled - you deserve it!!  The children were very proud of their special present that they made for you.

We had our last spelling quiz today but remember they can still visit Spelling City to review and maintain their skills (especially lessons 6 - 12 as these phonetic rules are more challenging and many they just need to keep practicing to memorize).

Thanks to our scientists this week Teresa, Liberty and Sienna we learned about Rainbow Milk, lava lamps and Black Fire Snake.  Ask your child about what happened in these experiments.

Treat Days are coming up on Tuesday, May 14th and Wednesday, May 15th.  Please remember to send in $1 or $2  if you want  your child to participate.

Mystery Bags seem to be very popular with the students and will be changed next Wednesday.  I would appreciate any feedback from parents.  How do they compare to the JRR bags?

Field trip is coming up quickly please be sure to sign up and pay online or send in the $ asap.
We do have 8 parent volunteers and 6 of those are covered within our cost and have room on the bus. Therefore,  if anyone would prefer not to attend please let me know and if everyone one is still interested we will organize the cost and which parents will join us on the bus.  Thanks for all your support.

Our last Scholastic for the year was sent home this week.  Please return any orders by Tuesday.
Thanks to Cody, Josh,  Liberty and Kamryn's mom for organizing our Scholastic this year!  Your help has been very appreciated.

The leadership group is organizing our "Walk for Water'.  They are asking for 4 L milk jugs to be sent in - please rinse the jugs well with soapy water before you send them in.  Thanks.  The Walk is on Friday, May 18th in the afternoon.  Please wear comfortable walking shoes and be dressed for the weather.  Donations (loonies or townies are great) and will be accepted up until this date.  Money collected will be donated to Haiti.  On Friday morning we will be watching some informational videos provided by Mrs. Valouch so that the students understand how fortunate we are to have access to clean fresh water simply by turning on a tap!

Once again have a fantastic weekend!
