No School Monday, April 29th due to a Pro D day.
Division 9 was very fortunate to have Dr. Schnellert come to our class on Tuesday. He was impressed by your children and helped me present an interesting lesson about an aboriginal girl who had to go to a residential school. The students were able to come up with colours, symbols and images that reflected the feelings and connections they made to this book.
ME-N-ED's field trip is re-scheduled for Wednesday, May 8th. You need to sign up again on the portal - please do this asap! I hope to finalize our drivers by the end of next week. Thanks to those who have already signed up and/or told me they are available to drive.
Div. 9 & 10 will be presenting their body songs at the assembly on Monday, May 6th at 8:45. Please have your child practice and memorize these songs. Thanks for your help. Hopefully some of you will be able to come to watch this assembly. I will try to video tape it for those of you that can't make it.
We will be changing our mystery bags next week so please be sure your child has them in their bag each day. Thanks.
Thank you for paying for your child's memory book, I now have all the money in. If anyone is doing any spring cleaning could you please keep your eyes open for any classroom books, returning any that you find. Thanks!

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day! It is Crazy Hair Day and frozen yogurt is also on sale for $2.00 at lunch. Our leadership group is also asking for Moosehead Donations. This is for a great cause helping women and children in need. We are dying Easter eggs with our big buddies tomorrow and will also be doing a special mapping Easter egg hunt in the afternoon.
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.
Poetry books should be at home for the long weekend. We are hoping that you can practice the body poems that are starred. We will be presenting these at the assembly on Monday, May 6th at 8:45.
Our field trip to Me-N-Eds next Wednesday should be up on the portal tonight or tomorrow (just waiting for Mrs. Watkins to approve it). Please sign up asap as there is very little turn-around and we do need parent drivers. Thanks
Please pay for memory books if you haven't already done so.
Hope you all have a great long Easter weekend with family and friends.

April 12/19
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.
