Hi Everyone,

It is hard to believe that I am writing the last post of the year.  This year has really flown by.  Today we worked on a page for our memory books about our top 5 favourite moments of the year and we were all amazed by how much we had done!  Here are a few last reminders before we wrap up for the summer:


*our class party will be on Monday, June 27th.  Thanks in advance to these people for bringing in snacks to share:  Camille (fruit plate), Daniel (veggie plate), Emily (cheese/crackers or small sandwiches), Danielle 9 (popcorn or chips) and Brayden (other).  Please still send lunches on that day as our party will be in the afternoon (I am reposting this in case anyone missed it last week). 
*please check your homes for any classroom/library books and return
*any donations of gently used books or miscellaneous craft supplies are always welcome
*supplies/work are coming home each day so that the student don't have a heavy bag on the last day
*please do not send planners on Monday, students will no longer be signing out books and the extra space in backpacks will be used to send home supplies
*Tuesday is our last day of school, it will be a 12:00 dismissal
*reports will be sent home by Mrs. Watkins via the parent portal this Saturday, there will be no hard copies distributed by teachers this term.  Please see me if you have any questions.

Thank you so much for a great year, everyone.  I thoroughly enjoyed teaching your children and I hope you all have an amazing summer!  I will look forward to hearing all about your family time when the students return in the fall.

Take Care,

Amanda Roberts

It is FUN Day!!!!!  If you could harness the energy in this building you could solve the world's energy crisis :)

I hope you all have a fantastic father's day and enjoy the gift they made for you.  Here are a few reminders as we head into our last full week of school.

*you do not need to send spelling books/poetry books to school anymore
*please send a plastic bag with your child's name on it so I can begin to send home supplies they won't need anymore
*we had exciting news earlier this week, our class won a contest!  Next Tuesday someone from Meadowtown Cinemas will be bringing in popcorn/drinks and the movie 'Finding Nemo' for the students to enjoy
*our class party will be on Monday, June 27th.  Thanks in advance to these people for bringing in snacks to share:  Camille (fruit plate), Daniel (veggie plate), Emily (cheese/crackers or small sandwiches), Danielle 9 (popcorn or chips) and Brayden (other).  Please still send lunches on that day as our party will be in the afternoon.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hi Everyone,

June continues to fly by and we have a lot more fun/exciting activities yet to come (please see the June calendar on this blog).  Hopefully the weather will turn around and we will be enjoying them in the sunshine! :)


Updates/Reminders

*Monday is 'Mindfulness Day'.  The whole school will be doing a variety of stations with a focus on 'being mindful'.  Students are encouraged to wear their pink/black 'Kindness Counts' t-shirts.
*our last student stars assembly has been rescheduled once again, it will be on June 21st at 8:45
*a big thank you to our parent volunteers who drove/supervised the class yesterday.  We had a fantastic day!
*more volunteers are needed for our 'Fun Day' next Friday.  If you are able to help out for an hour or two please write a note in your child's planner or stop by/phone the office.  Thank you!
*your child is bringing home his/her spelling and poetry and more duotangs today.  These can now stay home as we will not be using them for the remainder of the year
*please ensure that your child brings his/her book bag next week as we will be doing our final change of books
*I only had one parent who was available to join us for a walking field trip to Starbucks (where we will claim our prize) so I am going to be inviting some leadership students to walk with us/supervise as we won 30 free hot chocolates and we are happy to share with them.  I am waiting for confirmation on the date once Mrs. Chatton has met with this group so if you do want to join us please let me know and I will update you once I have more details.

Have a great weekend!

Wow!  I can't believe that it is June already.  We have a very fun/busy month ahead of us, please see the June calendar on this blog to see important dates to add to your calendar.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*our field trip is next week.  A letter will be coming home early in the week to confirm drivers and outline what you need to send with your child that day.  The field trip is on rain or shine so it is very important to be dressed for the weather.  A reminder to parent drivers that you need to have a driver's abstract on file in the office.
*a big thank you to Quinn's dad who came in today to talk to us about his job at the Port Authority
*we will be doing a baking activity with the students Tuesday morning (Div.6 and 7).  If you would like to come and volunteer please see me Monday morning or write a note in your child's planner
*thank you to those of you who sent in 'Change for Change' this week
*we are still low on pencils if anyone else has extra's at home they would like to donate

Enjoy the weekend, everyone!
