Hi Everyone,

Times are a bit uncertain as you all know right now.  I have told the students that we will continue to learn and enjoy our time together as though our year will end at the usual time but there are some preparations I am making just in case.  First of all, I am sending home supplies that we will not be using this year so that you can store them away for upcoming school years.  Mrs. Rowledge-Toscani and I were not teaching grade 2/3 at the time the supply list was made so we received a lot of extra supplies that weren't needed for our year.  I am sending them over a couple of days so that back packs aren't too heavy.  I will hold on to supplies we use daily in hopes that our year will continue as planned.

I will ask again that you check your home for any class books or library books and send them in on Friday.  Mrs. Kirves is asking that all library books be returned next week so that inventory may be done.  If your child has lost any library books over the year a bill will be sent home.

I have also asked the students to return their 'Just Right Reading' book bags by Friday.  Again, these need to be returned to our primary book room so missing books can be reordered in preparation for next year.

Could each student please bring a sturdy bag with their name on it so to keep on their hooks for when the school year does end and the remainder of the school supplies will be sent home.

Also, there was an announcement today that this Friday there will be a popcorn sale at lunch time.  If anyone is interested in ordering they can bring a twoonie to school that day.

Thank you,

Amanda Roberts

Happy Friday Everyone!

I have added a new link to the class blog called 'Earth Rangers'.  It is a club the students can join if they wish but there are also many free activities they can do with out joining or committing to fundraising. We will be checking it out in the lab today.

Everyone received a class calendar for June earlier this week.  If your child's did not make it home please let me know via his/her planner and I will send home a second copy.  Our class party is slated for the afternoon of Tuesday, June 24th.  Thanks in advance to these students and their families for bringing snacks:  Fruit plate (Adrien), Cheese/Crackers (Daniel), Popcorn/Chips or Pretzels (Lachlan), Veggies (Manvir), Sweet Treat (Manvir) and Other (Savannah).

You may have noticed that your children have new books in their JRR bags.  This will be the last set being sent home this year.  Please ensure that your child brings their bag to school daily so they can read the books/return them when they are finished.  Also, many of the class books tend to disappear over the year so if you could please check your homes for any borrowed books and return them that would be much appreciated.  Finally, if anyone has any gently books that you would like to donate to our class, they are always welcome.  A big thank you to the Kynsoon family for their recent donation.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Mrs. Roberts
