Hi Everyone,
We are all very excited about our field trip to Grouse tomorrow. We hope the weather holds! :)
This will be a brief post as you all received a lengthy email yesterday regarding our field trip tomorrow.
Updates/Reminders/Thank you's
*thank you to our parent volunteers who are joining us for our Grouse trip tomorrow! (Mrs. Dhembi, Mrs. Krenbrink, Mrs. Kriel, Mrs. MacMhuirich and Mrs. Koshlay) Please remember to bring a back pack to help carry lunches. Clearly labeled, bagged lunches only, please.
*our next 'Mystery Bag' trade in will be next Wednesday. Please ensure that your child has their book bag so that they can join in the fun :) There is a lot of enthusiasm around drawing names for trading and the books themselves seem to be a big hit!
*a second school supply form was sent home yesterday. This was because I didn't check the forms before passing them out the first time so some students ended up with the wrong grade. Sorry for the confusion. Mrs. Evans has asked us to notify you that the lists for each grade are now posted on the Fairview website in the 'Parents' section and can be printed if needed.
*a parent portal announcement will be sent to you tomorrow about our upcoming field trip to the recycling depot on June 8th. Parent drivers will be needed for this.
*next week I will put up a permission form for our field trip to Nevaeh's family farm on June 14th.
*our bake sale to raise money for our school buddy bench is next Thursday, May 31st. Baked goods and volunteers are needed. Please see info pasted below from last week's blog for specific details. Thank you all for your donations of baked goods and for sending in money so that your child can also purchase a treat. Please email me at: amanda_roberts@sd42.ca if you are able to volunteer at recess and/or lunch.
*we are hoping to host a bake sale on Thursday, May 31st. As part of our compassion unit, we are trying to raise money for a 'buddy bench'. This is a place where students can go if they can't find anyone to play with so that they can connect with other students who are in the same situation. We would really appreciate if everyone could send in 1-2 dozen treats for us to sell on that day. We also need parent volunteers to help set up at 9:30 and sell during recess-(from 9:50-10:25) and lunch 11:45-12:30)
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all have a fantastic (extra) long weekend!
Updates/Reminders/Thank you's
*tomorrow is our 'Walk for Water' event! Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather and is wearing comfortable walking shoes and sunscreen. I highly recommend that everyone bring a water bottle so that we can stop in for a quick drink before our second lap.
****All donations sent on/before this day will be given to Haiti to provide clean water****
*we have booked a compost visit with Dan from Ridge Meadows recycling on Monday, June 4th and a field trip to the recycling depot on Friday, June 8th (9:15 start-drivers will be needed, please)-a notice will be sent home via the parent portal for this. There is no cost for either activity.

*please check student planners tomorrow for an important information sheet regarding supplies for next year.
*we have now booked a time to visit Nevaeh's family farm. We will be doing this in the morning of June 14th and drivers will be needed. Please 'save the date' and I will send out a portal announcement in the next couple of weeks
*also, Fun Day will be Friday, June 22nd
*thank you for sending in the mystery bags on Wednesday. Most students were able to draw a name for a new book bag. If your child forgot theirs, please send them in asap so that they can get a new set of books
*our Grouse Mountain field trip is coming up next week. All students must be signed up/paid for by May 23rd so that we can make alternate arrangements for those not attending. Thank you!
*a reminder to please pay the $10 for your child's memory book if you have not already done so, this can be done via the parent portal or by cash/cheque
*an information package regarding our 'Scientist of the Day' was sent home a couple of weeks ago. Please ensure that your child has the opportunity to practice his/her experiment and comes to school ready to present on their assigned day. Thank you! We are currently sharing our 'lab coat' with Mrs. Rowledge-Toscani's class and are looking for a second coat. If anyone is able to donate one to the class or has suggestions on where we can purchase one at a low cost that would be great.
*a reminder that there is no school Monday (Victoria Day) and no school for students on Tuesday (Non-instructional Day).
Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
I hope you all have a fantastic (extra) long weekend!

Hi Everyone,
We had a school assembly this morning and our leadership group announced that we will be having 'Decades Day' on May 8th. I wanted to notify you as soon as I found out so you'd have a little notice. Students can dress up as any decade if they would like to participate.
Please ensure that all of your children bring back their book bags tomorrow. We will be beginning a new 'Mystery Bag' reading program on Thursday. Students will receive a bag with 5 books of varying levels. The idea is that some will be read independently and some will be read with/by parents. There is a sheet in each bag with some helpful hints on reading with your child. If your child is an emergent reader and you would like an additional bag of books that are at their reading level, please email me and I will send one home. All book bags will be changed once every two weeks and we ask that your child keeps them in his/her backpack so we may also enjoy them at school.
As part of our 'Environment' unit, we will be doing a couple of crafts with cereal box cardboard. Please flatten and send in any boxes you have at home. Our leadership group is also organizing a 'Walk for Water' event on May 18th. Each student will need to bring in an empty 1 Litre jug for this event (plastic only, please) Thank you!
