Hi Everyone,

A quick reminder that tomorrow is a Professional Day and students do not attend school.  I will look forward to seeing all of you on Monday.

I would like to say a big thank you to our parent drivers/volunteers for taking us to Fort Langley earlier this week.  The students really enjoyed themselves and had lots of stories to share when we returned.

Next week is, of course Halloween.  Students are welcome to wear their costumes to school but they should be easy to remove for playing outside at recess/lunch.  I will be sending home a notice early next week regarding the classroom party.  The day following Halloween (November 1) we will be having a pajama day and students are welcome to wear their pj's to school.

Please feel free to come by and see our classroom door.  It is decorated with beautiful pastel owls and creepy Halloween creatures.  The students are very proud of their work!

Have a great long weekend, everyone!

Hi Everyone,

We are in need of another driver for our field trip this coming Tuesday.  If anyone is able to drive, please contact me today or Monday morning. Remember, you must have a driver's abstract on file in order to be a volunteer driver. Thank you!

Reminder...

If you haven't already, please send in:

1)Inside shoes (very important for keeping our school clean and they gym safe)
2)Planner and Memory book money ($8/$6)
3)Earthquake kits

Thank you everyone!  Have a great weekend!

Mrs. Roberts

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend enjoying some family time and lots of turkey :)

The students have all brought home a turkey craft to enjoy over the weekend and they also completed a guided drawing and some writing about being thankful which will be added to their memory books.

We continue to enjoy our Canada unit and are becoming quite knowledgeable about our great country. We are going to be focusing on owls for our next unit which we plan to start in a couple of weeks.  I would like to complete a craft during that time which involves medium/large pinecones.  If anyone has any they would like to donate or knows of a good area to collect them, that would be much appreciated.

Thank you...

**to the Hill family for the book donation to our class (gently used books are always welcome for adding to our home reading books)
**to Division 6 for their great work during the food/clothing drive, making announcements, making signs and helping organize the boxes

Field trip Update:  More than half of the class has returned their Ft. Langley field trip notices but we only have drivers for 6 students.  If anyone else is available to drive that would be much appreciated.
Thank you!

Have a great weekend, everyone!

I want to send out a big thank you to our parent readers who came in today.  The students really enjoy this time and look forward to it each Friday morning.

I would also like to let you know that your children have been working hard to organize our 'Friends in Need' food and clothing drive.  This will be occurring next week and all donations are welcome.

Please note that this Thursday there is an early dismissal (11:40).  If you would like to arrange a meeting with me, please write a note in your child's planner of phone the school at 604 465-9331 to set up a time.  We can discuss your child's progress in person or over the phone.  Whatever is more convenient.  I will also be contacting some parents via the phone during this time.

Also a reminder to please check that your driver's abstracts are in if you plan on driving for our upcoming field trip in Langley.  Thank you in advance to all of our volunteers.
