June 19th

Wow!  It is hard to believe that this year is coming to an end.  Here are a few last reminders before we say good bye for the summer.

*all book bags/classroom books/library books should be returned to the classroom
*a sturdy shopping bag with your child's name on it should be brought in on Monday so that materials can continue to be brought home (unused materials will be sent home today)
*Tuesday is our class party.  Please see the previous post and/or your child's planner for confirmation of who is bringing treats that day
*Wednesday morning there is a final assembly at 8:45 (each class and the choir will be performing).  Parents are welcome to attend.

A big thank you to our parent volunteers for helping out yesterday (Mrs. Hall, Mrs. Juneja, Mr. Patch and Mrs. Brekkaas).  We had a great time visiting the fire hall/police station and taking part in the Amazing Race.

Also, another big thank you to Mrs. Brekkaas for sharing her musical talents with our class this year.  We really enjoyed it!

Have a great summer, everyone!  I have thoroughly enjoyed teaching your children this year.

There is a lot of our excitement in our classroom today.  The students are now in music with Mrs. Godfrey but when they return it will officially be the start of FUN DAY!!!  The weather is cooperating and it is cool/cloudy.  I am sure we will all have a great day!

Reminders/Updates

*please look on the 'Monthly Calendar' part of this blog and make note of important dates in June
*This Monday is 'Mind Up' day.  Students are encouraged to wear green (to help them get into the GREEN ZONE)!  The activities we do on this day will focus on being mindful.  A brochure will be coming home at the end of the day so that you can have a conversation with your children about it.
*please sign up for the field trip (via the portal) if you have not already done so.  If I don't have enough drivers/people signed up by Monday I will need to cancel.
*poetry and more books are coming home today and can now stay at home
*our class party will be in the afternoon on Tuesday, June 23rd as the next day is a half day (12:00 Dismissal).  Thanks in advance to these students for providing snacks for the party: Camille (fruit plate), Jakob (popcorn/chips or pretzels), Shalya (veggie plate), Kenyon (sweet treat), Riley and Trinity (your choice)
*we will not be having spelling next week as we will focus this time on completing other year end work/review

Last Fieldtrip!

Hi Everyone,

We have planned one final trip to wrap up our unit on community.  We will be having an 'Amazing Race Maple Ridge' on June 18th.  There will be an email arriving soon via the parent portal and we will need volunteers. If we do not have 5 volunteers/class we will have to cancel so if you could register as soon as possible that would be greatly appreciated.  We will start the day with tours of the fire/police department and then meet at the gazebo to begin the race.  It should be lots of fun!

Also, a big thank you to Priya and Jordyn's mom for volunteering on our Grouse field trip last week.  We had a fantastic day!

Finally, our leadership students just announced today that this Friday is going to be 'Hawaiian Day'.  Students are welcome to dress up on that day (it is, of course optional).  I apologize for the late notice but I am just learning of this event myself.  All other June events are now on the 'Monthly Calendar' page of this blog.



Thank you,

Amanda Roberts
