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!

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.

June 7/19
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!
