Hello Everyone,
Well, our Starbucks field trip was rained/hailed out but we did enjoy our hot chocolate in the classroom. Thank you to the parents who helped out with this and Mrs. Vamplew for supplying marshmallows.
Earlier this week your child brought home a notice with attachments about our upcoming 'Scientist of the Day'. Please help your child practice for a brief presentation of their experiment to the class. There is a schedule on the back of the package.
Your child will also be brining a poem home over the next couple of days. This is for the primary poetry recital on May 11 (10:35-12:00). Grade 2's are working in pairs and grade 3's are presenting on their own (either an original poem they have written or one they have selected). This is a great way to prepare for public speaking which begins in grade 4. We are hoping that students can memorize their poem and they will also be getting some class time to practice.
A reminder to please sign up for the Grouse Mountain field trip if you have not already done so.
I have added on important dates in May to our 'Monthly Calendar' section of the Blog.
Thank you,
Amanda Roberts

Hi Everyone,
It looks like a sunny weekend ahead. I hope everyone has the opportunity to get outside and enjoy it.
A big thank you to our parent drivers for taking us to the ACT Theater. (A special thanks to parents in Mrs. Rowledge-Toscani's class who offered to drive our class too so that we could also attend). The students really enjoyed the play and were very well behaved. They represented Fairview Elementary very nicely!
Please remember to check the portal and sign up for our Grouse Mountain Fieldtrip which will be taking place at the end of May. Parent drivers will not be needed but we are always happy to have volunteers come and help supervise.
We are also planning to walk to Starbucks next Friday to enjoy the hot chocolate we earned during 'Club Red'. We will do this first thing in the morning (instead of Family Reading) so please come and join us if you are able.
Please feel free to come and see my or write a note in your child's planner if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Amanda Roberts

Hi Everyone,
I hope you have had the chance to get outside and enjoy the sunshine this week. We have been very fortunate!
Reminders:
*our 'ACT Theater' fieldtrip is next week (April 16th). Please sign your child up via the portal if you have not already done so. All students need to be registered by April 14th as registration will no longer be available via the portal after that time. If you are having difficulty with the portal I can arrange a time to walk you through it or you can complete a paper permission form. Please write a note in your child's planner for Monday morning if you need a hard copy of this form. We are still short drivers for this field trip.
*the students have brought home a paper to complete their homework on. The assignment is explained on the half paper that was sent home with it (draw/write a sentence or 2 about their favourite place in our community) It is due on Tuesday, April 14th.
*The next morning exercise session with Mrs. Godin begins on May 7th. Interested students from our class has been participating in the first session but I wanted to notify you of this date in case any siblings/friends are signed up/interested.
*The primary 'Grouse Mountain' field trip booked for May 29th is also available on the Parent Portal. We will be hiring a bus for that trip so parent drivers will not be needed but parent volunteers will still be necessary.
Thank you,
Amanda Roberts
