Aloha Everyone!
The students all look great in their Hawaiian outfits and we were fortunate enough to have Chloe play some songs for us on the ukulele!
Updates/Reminders/Thank you's
*please see the previous post if you have not already done so
*everyone was sent an email earlier this week so please make sure you refer to that regarding upcoming events
*our assembly is on Tuesday, May 30th at 8:45. Please ensure that your child practices all of his/her body poems this weekend-parents are welcome to attend :)
*there are still quite a few people who have not signed up for the SPCA field trip coming up next Wednesday. Please do so by Monday, May 29th. Thank you!
*we are once again short drivers for this field trip but thankfully the SAS (on site Korean School)
instructors are able to help us out again so we will not have to cancel. Thank you in advance to those of you who are able to drive. We really appreciate your help as there aren't enough spots in the SAS vehicles so with out you we would be unable to go.
*we have booked a field trip to Rev's bowling alley for June 15th. Please complete the permission form via the parent portal....PLEASE NOTE THAT THE DATE WAS CHANGED BY REV SO IF YOU HAVE ALREADY REGISTERED YOUR CHILD VIA THE ORIGINAL PORTAL ANNOUNCEMENT YOU STILL NEED TO COMPLETE THE MOST RECENT ONE.
*a big thank you to everyone who has sent in gently used books for the classroom library. We are really enjoying the new additions!
Enjoy the weekend, everyone!

Dear Parents,
It looks like it is going to be a great long weekend! I know many of you are planning on camping and a number of other outdoor activities so I am sure the sunshine will be welcome. Enjoy!
Updates/Reminders/Thank you's
HELP WANTED: Is there anyone who would be available to come and help out on Monday afternoons from 1:20-2:10 ?(10 minutes to set up and 40 supervising a nutrition station). We are going to be completing a series of 6 stations with our big buddies in order to review/reinforce the information/skills we developed earlier this term. Please contact me via the school email or your child's planner if you are able to help out. Thank you! amanda_roberts@sd42.ca
*please regularly check the calendar on this blog and add it to your personal calendar
*we are very short drivers for the SPCA at this time, please complete the online form via the parent portal (even if you cannot drive) so that I know if I need to look into other options or cancel the trip
*Hawaiian day is next Friday!
*Wyatt's mom has told me about an opportunity through Value Village. If you take in a clothing donation your child will get a free book! This is a great way to add to your home/the classroom library: https://www.valuevillage.com/donate
*a big thank you to Wyatt, Chloe and Nevaeh's mom for donating books to our classroom library. There is a lot of excitement over these new additions!
*please ensure that your child is practicing his/her 'Body Poems' as we will be presenting these at an assembly on May 30th
*you will be receiving a permission form via the parent portal about an upcoming field trip at the Maple Ridge bowling alley. We will also be having a visit from the A.R.M.S society to talk to us about water. Thanks to the generous contribution from the P.A.C. the cost for both of these experiences will only be $2. You may send in a twoonie at any time. Thank you!
*if you are able to 'Save the Date' to help us with driving that would be much appreciated. We will be going the morning of June 22nd (details to follow via the parent portal) Please remember that you must have a driver's abstract on file if you are driving children other than your own.
*you may have noticed that the halls are starting to look a little bare. No, we are not planning to go on summer vacation yet :) We are emptying our bulletin boards in preparation for our school wide 'Gallery Walk'. The students have chosen their favourite piece from the year and they will be up to by the end of May. Parents are welcome to come and visit (please just check in at the office first) any time in early June.
*a reminder to please make sure your child is appropriately dressed for the weather as we do spend time outside each day. If your child is wearing sandals as the weather heats up please include runners/socks in your child's backpack to ensure they are ready for action! Sunscreen, hats and water bottles are also a great idea.
*here is a message from our librarian, Mrs. Neufeld:
*some parents have been asking why our field trip is to the Surrey attachment of the SPCA. This is because this is where their education site is. Having said that, I know some parents were concerned about the drive. It is actually only 26 minutes away and is very straight forward (that is coming from me and I have no sense of direction :)...

*here is a message from our librarian, Mrs. Neufeld:
'The Library will be closing down for the summer a bit early this year, because we are going to do inventory. Last day for book exchange will be May 31. All books must be back into the Library by June 5. Fines and late books must be paid by June 21. I will send home a notice for overdue books! However, if students owe money for a book but cannot find it or pay for it, they may bring a' like-new' book from their house to replace it'.

Happy May Everyone!
I can't believe how this school year is flying by. We are busy working on our body unit and are learning a lot about the human body and how it functions! Ask your child about which organs we have learned about so far.
Updates/Reminders/Thank you's
*Class photos will now be this upcoming Tuesday, May 9th due to the inclement weather earlier this week
*our scientists are off to a great start, please send a note in your child's planner if the original date I assigned doesn't work
*Important dates in May are available on this blog under 'Monthly Calendar'
*A big thank you to Neveah's family for sending in some 'fairy' books for the class. They are a welcome addition to our class library!
*the school library will be doing a thorough inventory this year so all books will be due back by the end of May. Notices regarding missing books will be sent home shortly after this. Thank you for trying to track these down.
*please ensure that your child has appropriate footwear for running/playing outside. If your child is wearing sandals, please pack runners and socks in his/her backpack. We are often outside and active (rain or shine) and inappropriate footwear can really inhibit your child's ability to get involved
*a bright, pink sheet was sent home last week as a friendly reminder regarding unpaid fees this year. It was taped inside of your child's planner. If you could send in any money that is owing that would be much appreciated as June is a very busy time for our office staff. Thanks so much!
Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
