February 15

Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all enjoying your day off in the sunshine.  I am writing this (while on a break) at Thomas Haney learning about engaging students in today's classroom.

A few items to update...

*we are presently very short drivers for skating on February 24th.  Notices are due on Monday so I am hoping the remaining permission slips will contain more volunteers.  If not, I may need to cancel the field trip.

*please continue to sign your child's 'Club Red' heart each night and have them colour in a space each night.  These will be due at the end of this month.

*we will be wrapping up our 'Body' unit next week.  We will then move onto our nutrition unit.  It would be great if you could support this unit by discussing the nutritional benefits/food groups of the food you eat together as a family.  Please feel free to refer to the Canada Food Guide that was sent home after our visit to Save-On Foods.

*please continue to play math games at home to increase your child's speed of addition/subtraction facts, all you need is a deck of cards and two dice

*please refer to our calendar for activities that will be occurring each week

Thank you,

Amanda Roberts
