*A big THANK YOU to all of our parent drivers.  We had a great time skating yesterday :)
*The conference link is now set up for March conferences (see link on this blog).  A reminder that the procedure is the same as the last conference.  You sign up for one 15 minute time slot only.  That time will be spent going over your child's work with them.  The next 15 minutes will be spent with all of us together, celebrating your child's progress and goal setting for the final term.
*We are looking for donations for outdoor play equipment to be used during recess/lunch.  If anyone has any balls, badminton rackets etc. they would like to donate to our class that would be greatly appreciated.
*Please note that the early dismissal day on March 4th is 11:40, not 11:00 as we were originally told
*Please ensure that your child is only logging into their account for Raz kids, some peoples accounts have been tampered with


Have a great weekend, everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Reminders/Information:

*please mark your calendars with all of the special events that are happening in February.

*please ensure that you are signing your child's 'Club Red' calendar every day (after they have read to you).

*thank you to everyone who sent treats for the Valentine's party.  They look delicious and will be enjoyed during our party this afternoon.

*thank you for sending in the paper rolls.  There are some very creative ideas at work during the marble maze building

*forms for the Reebok sponsored exercise program (that is fun AND free!) should be sent in ASAP to ensure that your child has a space if you are interested

Please Note:

We are still short drivers for skating.  If you are planning on driving your own child (but didn't include that one the form) please notify me so I know how many students I need to find rides for.  If another class has space we will join them, otherwise we will have to cancel the field trip.  You will need to have a driver's abstract on file to drive other children.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hi Everyone!

It is almost the long weekend!  I hope everyone has an exciting day planned for 'Family Day' on Monday.  I only have a few reminders as I wrote quite an extensive entry last week.  If you have not yet viewed that, please take the time to do so.  It includes information about our Valentine's day party (who is bringing snacks) and a list of student names so everyone can be included when cards are being made.  Also, last week I posted our February calendar (click on the heading that says 'Monthly Calendar'.  February is a very busy month!  I have also included the conference dates in that entry so that you can begin to make arrangements as necessary.

*I have about half the classes skating forms in at this point but only enough drivers to take 5 students.  If you could please send this form in early next week that would be much appreciated.  That way if we are short drivers I can try to make arrangements with other classes (or cancel the field trip if necessary).

*Please continue to save/send in paper rolls.  The first group's attempt at making their own marble maze was very successful and they have set the bar high for the remaining 5 groups.  The problem solving, testing/retesting and collaboration that went on was outstanding!

Next week's 'Club Red' activity is 'Poem in a pocket'.  Please see the club red information sheet for details.

Have a wonderful time with your families this weekend,

Amanda Roberts
