I am really looking forward to meeting with all of you at conferences. Remember to arrive at the time you signed up for conferences (if uncertain check the portal) and your total conference time is 30 minutes. You are with your child first in the hallway to go through and celebrate their learning and then the last 15 minutes is in the classroom conferencing with me. If you are unclear please email or come see me for clarification.
Tomorrow is an early dismissal at 11:00. Please still send your child to school in the morning though, as we have a lot of last minute finish-up to prepare for our conferences.
Several students are bringing home overdue library book notices tomorrow. Mrs. Holmes is really hoping to get these books back into circulation. Please look and return these as unfortunately the next step is billing:( Thanks!
Owls and More - there are still a few students who have not paid for these special activities. Please do so asap.
Donations for the Christmas Hamper will be gratefully accepted until Tuesday, Dec. 4th. Thank you for supporting this great cause.
Christmas concert is just around the corner. If you haven't already done so, please go on 'EventBrite' to get tickets (even if you are planning to come to the free afternoon performance).
Over the weekend please practice Dominic the Donkey and for costumes please look at past blogs.
Skating on Dec. 13th is now on the portal. Please sign up and send in the money if renting skates and/or helmets.
Entrepreneur Fair for our class is December 6. All profits are going towards grade 6 and 7 camps. Most items will be between $2-$4. Nothing will be over $5! Please send money in a labelled bag so it is obvious what it is for.
We have booked an exciting field trip on Thursday, Jan. 31 to go to Science World. We have booked a school bus but will need a few parent volunteers. Please mark your calendars with this date.
I am excited to meet and celebrate your child's learning over the next couple of days! Sheralyn

We have had a fun, busy week. Many students participated in the different Spirit Week special days!

I changed all the Just Right Reading (JRR) books this week. Please help your child remember to bring these books back to school daily. Thanks!
Scholastic will be coming home next week. Thanks to Cam's mom for organizing these. If you want to purchase any books as gifts please just let me know and then I will make sure to give them directly to you.
A big thank you to Will's mom for all her help in the classroom today. It is very appreciated.
Over the weekend if you have a chance please try IXL growing patterns - Gr. 2 - D2 and Gr. 3 R-2, If it is too easy/difficult, you can move up/down accordingly. If time explore other pattern or place value activities. If needed please give your child some initial help but then have them work independently.
Christmas concert tickets are now on sale. Please check the portal announcement for further details and information. Dominic the Donkey is our song and the words are in your child's poetry book this week. Please have them practice as there are a lot of words and they are tricky! If you want the tune please go to this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYlvfX3nwlc and then go The Christmas Book on the right side and find the karaoke for Dominic!
Kids Helping Kids Christmas Hamper information went home on Thursday. Please help Fairview to make a big difference to children and families that aren't as fortunate.

These students are: Lexi, Will, Stephen, Charlie, Liberty, Colton, Carter. These students should wear black or grey to match these hats. Dr. Saul had the idea of an Italian Cafe so all the other students can wear black pants, white shirts, black bow ties (if you have them), fedoras (again only if you have them) or dresses. Please don't feel you have to go shopping just try to get as close as possible. Next week we will be sending home a copy of the words so your child can be practicing at home.

***We started our Fin's Friends program. Every student (when it is their special helper day) will be having a 'sleep over' with Fin. Your child will write about their time with Fin focusing on being socially responsible and draw a picture (or if you'd prefer take a picture and glue it in). There is a letter at the front of the duo tang with more information. Please ensure that Fin is returned to the school each day as the next child is anxious to have their turn. If your night is busy and your child needs more time to complete the homework, please feel free to take a sheet out of the duotang and when it is completed please hand it in at a later date. Thanks!
Remember there is no school Friday due to Pro D and then Monday is the Remembrance Day holiday. Enjoy your extra long weekend.
