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!

If anyone else is interested in placing a Scholastic order please do so by tomorrow or let me know that you want to order but just haven't had a chance. I have reminded the students of the coupon that I gave them at Christmas for a free book - you do need the code when placing the order. Please use these by the end of June.

Div. 9's 'Boomwhacker' performance was great! Dr. Saul said the students work very well together and is very proud of their accomplishments! Great teamwork and music! Here are a couple pictures and videos!
Save-On-Foods field trip was great! I am always amazed that everyone time I go on this field trip I learn something new. Thanks to Ava, Rhys, Kamryn and Colton's moms for volunteering their time and helping us map our way to Save-On. After we got back we brainstormed what we saw, learned and liked and the mapping activity was one of the highlights!
UPCOMING EVENTS:
Field trip to Me-N-Ed's in Port Coquitlam is coming up very soon. It is on Wednesday, April 24 in the morning. We will need parent drivers but I do not have the exact times so unfortunately can not put it up on the portal yet. If you could just mark your calendars and let me know if you would be available to volunteer that would be appreciated. As soon as I have the information I will put it up.
Crazy Hair Day is next Thursday, April 18th!
PAC TCBY Frozen Yogurt treat day on April 17/18 at lunch.
Also Div. 9 & 10 are planning to present our body songs at our next assembly, Monday, May 6th. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend! Please practice the body songs that are in the Poetry book as we hope to have these memorized for this presentation. Thanks.
***Please look at home for the Robert Munsch book 'Moving Day'. It has gone missing. Please also send back any extra classroom books you find at home.
Please check the portal for our Memory Book, you can either pay online or send in the $10.
Mystery Bags went home today. Each student has a bag with 5 books inside of varying levels, both fiction and non-fiction. These are high interest books that were provided by our district and the students loved them last year! If your child is an emergent reader and you would like to continue with some levelled books as well please just email me at Sheralyn_rowledge@sd42.ca Raz-Kids is also a great option for the children to access books at their reading level. As I mentioned earlier it is crucial for students to continue to read regularly to further strengthen their reading skills. Just a reminder as well of our IXL program - a great place to practice and review math skills. This is a great resource which unfortunately we are not using enough! Remember these can be accessed by the link on this blog.
Save-On-Foods field trip was great! I am always amazed that everyone time I go on this field trip I learn something new. Thanks to Ava, Rhys, Kamryn and Colton's moms for volunteering their time and helping us map our way to Save-On. After we got back we brainstormed what we saw, learned and liked and the mapping activity was one of the highlights!
UPCOMING EVENTS:
Field trip to Me-N-Ed's in Port Coquitlam is coming up very soon. It is on Wednesday, April 24 in the morning. We will need parent drivers but I do not have the exact times so unfortunately can not put it up on the portal yet. If you could just mark your calendars and let me know if you would be available to volunteer that would be appreciated. As soon as I have the information I will put it up.
Crazy Hair Day is next Thursday, April 18th!
PAC TCBY Frozen Yogurt treat day on April 17/18 at lunch.
Also Div. 9 & 10 are planning to present our body songs at our next assembly, Monday, May 6th. Parents are welcome and encouraged to attend! Please practice the body songs that are in the Poetry book as we hope to have these memorized for this presentation. Thanks.
***Please look at home for the Robert Munsch book 'Moving Day'. It has gone missing. Please also send back any extra classroom books you find at home.
Please check the portal for our Memory Book, you can either pay online or send in the $10.
Mystery Bags went home today. Each student has a bag with 5 books inside of varying levels, both fiction and non-fiction. These are high interest books that were provided by our district and the students loved them last year! If your child is an emergent reader and you would like to continue with some levelled books as well please just email me at Sheralyn_rowledge@sd42.ca Raz-Kids is also a great option for the children to access books at their reading level. As I mentioned earlier it is crucial for students to continue to read regularly to further strengthen their reading skills.

Hi Everyone,
Just a reminder that tomorrow students will be dismissed at 11:00 am so that teachers can conference for the afternoon and all day Friday. Please double check your conference time via the portal. The time you signed up for is the time you will arrive here to meet with your child in the hallway for 15 minutes and celebrate their learning. This will be followed by a 15 minute meeting in the classroom for all of us to review the past term and set goals for the third term.
The students have all received their new JRR books yesterday. They will also bring home their Poetry and More duotangs tomorrow and I have updated the levels on RAZ kids where necessary. This will give your child plenty of reading options for over the break. Please also remember that we have a subscription with IXL which can be used to practice/develop math skills.
The updated Memory Book fee is now on the portal (sorry for the confusion). Please feel free to pay online or send/bring in cash or a cheque for $10:00. You will also be receiving a portal announcement regarding our field trip to Save-On Foods on April 9th on April 9th.
Congratulations to Cam, Saskia and Hallie for being the lucky 'Club Red' winners from Division 9. They will be treated to a pizza lunch on April 10th.
I hope you all have a wonderful spring break!
Take Care,
Sheralyn Rowledge-Toscani

Our field trip to the ACT on Wednesday was great. A huge thanks to Kamryn, Hallie and Libby's moms for driving as well as OSS for providing a van! Ideas Bobert was very good! Ask your child for details such as... what was your favourite part, funniest part, how did she make her bird move, what is the difference between clowning and acting? What made Bobert and the bird happy? What was the message Ideas Bobert was portraying? At Buddies on Thursday we discussed what made their hearts smile plus made symbols out of plasticine. We had music notes, birds, footballs, dance shoes, video game, book, etc.
Club RED celebration was today. It was exciting that Mrs. Neufeld was our guest reader and it was fun to read with Mrs. Williamson's class especially while eating twirlers!
Conferences are next Thursday afternoon and Friday. Please sign up on the portal asap! Remember the conference is a total of 30 minutes - arrive for the time you signed up, the first 15 minutes is in the hall going through and celebrating your child's learning and then the next 15 we will meet in the classroom to go over the report card and set goals for our last term. If possible, Mrs. Mungaroo would like the opportunity to sit in on some of the conferences, if you are uncomfortable with this please just email me before the conference (no problem either way). ***Please note it is an 11:00 dismissal on Thursday and no school on Friday due to these conferences.
Upcoming field trips after spring break are...

Dear Parents,
Just wanted to let you all know the upcoming events that will be here before we know it! Tuesday, Feb. 26th is Grandparent Day in the afternoon. Please send out invitations to your parents so they can be part of this special afternoon (if your child doesn't have grandparents but do have an aunt or uncle or special friend they are more than welcome). I will be buddying up students that don't have someone and have found grandparents are great at welcoming other children. It is also our 100 Day celebration! Don't forget that students are also suppose to make a collection or project of 100 things (if you need paper - please let me know). They can bring them in anytime next week or before the 26th. Below is the schedule for the afternoon that grandparents will be at Fairview.
1230 Grandparents arrive to the gym……. Coffee, sandwiches and cookies will be served.
1240-1:15ish Cathie will meet with Grandparents in the gym
1:15ish Cathie will ‘dismiss’ Grandparents to head to classes (room maps and classlists will be available )

We also just confirmed a play at the ACT for Wednesday, March 6th at 9:30 as part of our connection unit.

We will be needing parent drivers though so please mark your calendars with this date.
Please remember that it is Club RED month and hopefully your child is reading every day, they are colouring and you are initialling their special heart calendar.

We started our new unit on the body and nutrition. If any of you work in these fields and would like to come and talk to the students please contact me and we will make the arrangements.
For extra fun spelling practice students can go to the Spelling City link on this blog (they are organized into lessons, but if your child has yellow sheets they say purple as that was the colour it was last year). A great way to practice these phonetic patterns and even little spelling tests.
Candy grams went home on Friday. Please return by Feb. 10th.
I have updated the blog's calendar for February.
Next Friday is flashlight reading. Students should bring flashlights from home to read in the dark with different buddies in the school. Pajama Day and hallway reading was lots of fun today!
