Dear Families,
It's so hard to believe that we are now officially done this school year! Div. 9 has had lot of fun, adventures and learned so much. Your child brought home their memory books today. Please take some time to go through all the pages, the class was very excited this morning looking through and reminiscing everything we had done this year. They especially enjoyed looking at the collages and making their own photo page! Just another reminder that their flower painting is just placed (not hole-punched) at the back of their memory book in case you'd like to frame it.
FYI - Your child will have access to Raz Kids over the summer to continue to practice and strengthen their reading skills. I believe they also will still be able to go on IXL as well as the other links that are on this blog.
I have thoroughly enjoyed being your child's teacher this year and want to thank you for your support and assistance. Hope you all have a wonderful summer!
Sheralyn Rowledge-Toscani
I'd also like to thank everyone for their kind words and gifts. I really appreciate your thoughtfulness!

Dear Families,
I can't believe that this is our last full week and our year together is coming to an end. I have thoroughly enjoyed having your children in our class and thank you so much for your help and support this year.
Ms. Neufeld came in this afternoon and we finished our Connection unit. She read the students a great story about Connections, then we did friend Venn Diagrams and built lego bridges!
Here are some last minute reminders of our last few days...
*Disco bowling is tomorrow - please remember to send boosters (unless your child is 9). Thanks to the parents who volunteered to drive and to Mrs. Roberts parents who are helping us out.
*Fariview Fun Day is on Friday starting at 11. Your child should come to school prepared for the weather and some water fun (please send a labeled towel just in case). There will be some treats but please still send some healthy snacks/lunch and water bottle. Also wear sunscreen as they will be outside from 11-2. Thanks again to our PAC for providing us with this awesome day!!
*SPCA - *Our community goal this year is to help animals at our local SPCA. We are encouraging families to send in old towels, blankets etc. for the animals at the shelter. Pet food and other animal toys/treats/leashes etc. are also welcome. Thank you in advance for your support for this great cause, please send in by Monday.
*Thanks to Stephen and Colton's moms for washing some bins of manipulatives for Div. 9. There are still lots more to clean so if anyone else could take a bin or two home it really helps with my clean-up. Please and Thank You!
Thanks to Rhys' mom for helping out with our wrap and smoothie bar! The student seemed to really enjoy it!
Your child will bring home their Growthfolio tomorrow. Please take the time to go through and read this - in the June section we have added their latest writing and math, their competency self-assessment (which is part of their report card) as well as their Music assessment, Dr. Saul's letter and an ELL report if your child is receiving this service. The purpose of this growth folio is to illustrate the growth your child has made this year.
Please send in a labelled plastic or cloth bag to bring home your child's stuff. I will be sending home duotangs/supplies over the next few days and this will make organizing them easier. Thanks.
Final class celebration is next Tuesday, June 25th in the afternoon - thanks in advance to Cam - fruit plate, Colton - Veggies, Alicia - Sweet Treat, Will - Popcorn/chips or Pretzels, Saskia - Other!
Please check your homes for any classroom books and return them by Friday. I will be collecting all mystery bags and any other classroom books. Thursday will be the last day they are signing out books.
Also please see the blog from last week in regards to school supplies for next year.
Thanks again for the great year! Hope you all have a fun-filled summer!

*National Indigenous Day is on Friday. Please ensure your child is dressed for the weather and also that they wear older clothes as one of the stations is painting with acrylic paint! PLEASE NOTE THERE WILL BE NO FAMILY READING THIS WEEK as we have an assembly to start our special day. Students also do not need to bring their planners or book bags. Lunch is provided but still send snacks.
Rev's Bowling is next Thursday afternoon. Please sign up asap and if anyone else can drive that would be great as we are still short drivers.
Our final class celebration will be on Tuesday, June 25 in the afternoon. Thanks in advance to Cam - fruit plate, Colton - Veggies, Alicia - Sweet Treat, Will - Popcorn/chips or Pretzels, Saskia - Other!
We are doing our next 'Nutrition Activity' next Wednesday, June 19th between recess 10:30 and lunch 12:00. We are looking for volunteers to help smoothies and help out with our wrap bar, please let me know if you can help out. Thanks in advance!

Father's Day cards and gifts were sent home today. Hope you love your gifts as much as the children enjoyed making them!
If anyone is able to wash some class Manipulatives that would be really appreciated. You could take home a bin or two and return them the next day. Thank you in advance.
We have sent home the notices for Creative Packs for school supplies. The primary team cannot stress enough the importance of using Creative Packs! We ask for certain brands of school supplies because they are what we have determined are the best quality and last the whole school year. If you choose to not order Creative Packs, then please follow the list given supply for supply. If you are missing something in September we will highlight on our list as a reminder of what else to get. Please do not buy Dollar Store brand supplies!!! They may be the cheap option, but the glue doesn’t stick, the crayons don’t colour and the scissors don’t cut! Us primary teachers know from experience. If you have financial concerns about school supplies and meeting the required lists, please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs. Watkins.

At our last assembly Fairview all 'ROCKED' the Bhangra dance!
School Supply order forms should be returned. We are encouraging all parents to purchase these. In the past some parents have chosen to get their supplies at a Dollarstore but that makes the supplies different and more important often a cheaper quality that does not last.
Your child has brought home a couple of blank duotangs earlier this week. Please check your child's backpack for these and safe for next year.
Yesterday we had an amazing afternoon of soapstone carving!
Oliver Harwood is a Canadian artist that came to show us how to carve a variety of different animals out of soapstone. The students were so engaged carving for over an hour! He also shared one of his recent carvings that is in New Brunswick which was called 'Song of the Deep'. The link to see this and several other of his sculptures is St Andrews Sculpture by Oliver Harwood
Many students have not yet brought in a rock. Please do so by Tuesday. Thanks
Rev.'s bowling - please be sure to sign up and send in the money as soon as possible. We are still short a couple spots for driving but Mrs. Roberts has extra spots so we should be good. Thanks everyone for your help with driving for field trips this year.
Class photos went home this week. Orders for extra pictures need to be in by Tuesday, June 11.
Next Friday is National Aboriginal Day. The students will be going to a variety of stations throughout the day. We are very excited!

A huge thank you to Laura, Will's mom who came in last Friday to teach us how to draw and paint Georgia O'Keeve flowers. Don't they all look amazing!
Last hot lunch of the year is tomorrow, Thursday, May 30th!
Just a reminder that your child brought home their Food For Us! books. They had homework planning and/or just recording a meal and identifying if it is balanced with the four food groups.
They do not need to bring this back back it is important that they share and review their knowledge on such an important life-long concept.
Spelling is over for the year. Students have brought home their duotangs and can keep them at home. For extra practice at home remember to check the blog and go on Spelling City.
Library Raffle tickets need to returned by next week. If you feel you could sell more please let me know as the more we sell the better. Please return any tickets you do not sell. Thanks to families that have already returned their tickets.
Parent volunteer tea invitations went home earlier this week, if I missed anyone please let me know - your time and support is really appreciated!!
We were fortunate to receive a food grant so have planned a Yogurt Bar/Magic School Bus Movie on Friday morning after recess. I do have a couple volunteers (thanks to Rhys and Kamryn's moms) but if anyone else could help out that would speed up the process!
Thank you to the PAC and parents who contributed for the wonderful Staff Appreciation Luncheon on Tuesday. It was really appreciated by all.
Field Trip to Rev's Bowling is now up on the portal. It is Thursday, June 20th in the afternoon. We do need parent drivers.

Class photos are tomorrow morning. Tomorrow will be the last day for students to take out library books.
Our scientists of the day are going very well - thank you so much for your help with these projects. The students are loving them and learning lots!
Your child should be practicing the poem that is in their Mystery Bags (some won't be receiving their poem until next week though) They will be presenting these to the class with their groups. Mystery Bags were changed today unless your child wanted to keep theirs.
Also please check the backpacks for their FOOD FOR US! books tomorrow. We have gone through these learning about nutritious foods, the 4 food groups (even though they have changed the Canada Food Guide has changed this year, it is still important the children learn the different groups and the importance of balanced meals and healthy snacks). They have already analyzed their lunch one day and the last page of the book is another lunch they could plan and make sure is a balanced meal! Please do this at home and review with your child, if you'd rather do a breakfast or supper that's fine too. They do not need to return this to school but completing this last page is important and is homework. Thanks for your help with this!
Love Your Library Raffle tickets went home last week. Hopefully you can sell these tickets and return the stubs and the money asap. If you are unable to sell them please return the tickets so we can sell them to someone else. Thanks for your support with our library!
Rocks!! Each student is asked to bring in a rock - BIGGER THAN THEIR FIST BUT SMALLER THAN THEIR HEAD! (LOL) They will be drawing and writing a word on these rocks as part of our connection unit.

CLASS PHOTOS HAVE BEEN RESCHEDULED TO FRIDAY, MAY 24TH! Sorry for the confusion but everything feels this is better with the long weekend and Mathlete Athlete Day being this Friday. May 17th students are welcome to dress up and participate. Students can also bring a can of food or a small donation to watch the movie 'Trolls' at lunch.
Freezies will be sold tomorrow at lunch. $1 for half/$2.00 for a full one (these are very large though). - we talked in class about Foods to Limit and freezies are on that list so we discussed how 1/2 might be better.
There is no school on Tuesday, May 21 due to a school Pro D Day.
Our spelling is a review unit so it will be over 2 weeks. Just a reminder another way to practice is to go to Spelling City on the blog to practice Lesson 12.
Our butterflies have started emerging so Div. 9 is very excited!
Div. 9 did amazing today at cross country!
