Hi Everyone,

It has been an exciting week in Division 8 with disco bowling yesterday and fun day today.  The students are outside having a great time enjoying all of the games, inflatables and snacks (don't worry I'm on prep so there is another teacher out there for me at the moment ;)).

Reminders/Updates/Thank you's

*please see the previous post for important information regarding our class party.  If you are wondering if it is your turn to bring a treat, you can check there.   Thank you!
*June 21 many of the primary classes are planning on acknowledging Canada's 150th birthday by wearing red and white to school.  Your children are welcome to join in this :)
*please help your children practice the body poem that is in their book bag and poetry and more duotang.  They will be presenting these as part of a group next week and some of the words are challenging!
*please make sure that your child returns his/her book bag early next week.  I plan to have them all bagged up and returned to the book room by Wednesday at the latest so that we can begin inventory in preparation for next year.
*please also check your home for any class library books (these have a large letter on the edge)
*donations of gently used books are always welcome along with craft supplies
*finally, a big thank you to all of the parents/grandparents who were able to help with driving yesterday.  We greatly appreciate your efforts in making our field trip possible.

Happy Father's Day to all the dads! I hope you enjoy a wonderful family weekend!

Hi Everyone,

It is hard to believe but June is already here.  As usual, this will be a busy and exciting month for everyone.  Please ensure that you are helping your child keep to bedtime routines as much as possible (I know this can be difficult as it stays light longer) and continue to focus on eating a healthy, balanced diet.  We have a lot of fun ahead but we also still have a lot of learning to do! :)  Thank you for your support with this.

Reminders/Thank you's

*please see the calendar on this blog for  important dates in June
*next week will be our last week of spelling, it is a review weeks so students will have the opportunity to go over the 'rules' they have learned the last few weeks
*please sign your child up for bowling via the parent portal if you have not already done so.  We almost have enough drivers so hopefully we will not have to ask the OSS teachers to help us out this time
*a big thank you to Mrs. Shimmin, Mrs. McMhuirich, Mrs. Vickers and Mrs. Koshlay for driving/helping supervising for our SPCA field trip.  It was a big success!  It was great to see some of the animals that our fundraising will help.  Thank you all once again for baking the goods that raised this money.
*there was a mix up and someone accidentally took Jesse's booster seat home (after the SPCA field trip).  He is now using the one that was left behind but would prefer to have is own.  It does have his name on it so if everyone could please double check that you have the right seat that would be much appreciated.
*a big thank you to everyone who has donated books to the class.  We really appreciate it!
*we will be having a year end party on June 28th.  Anyone who has not brought treats for a party will be asked to send something in.  Please watch this blog for further information regarding dates and who will be bringing food


Thank you,

Amanda Roberts
