Oct. 12/18

Wow what gorgeous fall weather we have!  Hopefully you can all enjoy your weekend!

Skating is next Thursday afternoon.  Please be sure to sign up on the portal and send in the cash for the skate and helmet rental.   Parents who said they could drive please ensure that you have a current drivers abstract (from ICBC and the volunteer form).  I just checked and several of you do not have these.  Students will need to bring their skating gear, appropriate clothing and a booster seat that day.

We have now completed all of Div. 9 names!  The students were very successful discovering many words each day!  As a finale we did my name.  They were so excited, we literally could have done it all day!  They found 181 words and asked to take home a copy to try to see how many words they could make at home.   This is in their poetry duotangs and is an excellent literacy activity.  If you'd rather do other family members names instead that is totally fine (mine being so long just got them motivated and really thinking!). Today at Family Reading many parents helped to think of words from Fairview Elementary.  Div. 9 came up with 132 words!  We did win the competition with Mrs. Roberts' class.

If you haven't had a chance to check out Div. 9's sunflower garden that is in the hallway, please stop by to have a look.  All the children worked hard on these and they look great!  Here is a sneak peak!





Just a reminder that next Friday is a Pro D day for teachers so there is no school for students.
