Hi Everyone,
Halloween is just around the corner and there is a lot of excitement in the air.
Updates/Reminders/Thank you's
*Please pay for the planner, send in headphones and send in outside shoes if you have not already done so
*Halloween is fast approaching. Thank you in advance to the following families for bringing in treats: Lucas (Fruit plate), Dyllan (Veggie plate), Logan (Cheese and crackers), Pandora (sweet treat), Ryanna (popcorn or chips). We will be having our party in the afternoon on Halloween day. Please note: students should still bring a nutritious snack and lunch on that day as we won't be eating until later in the afternoon.
*Everyone is welcome to wear their costume for the day and we will have our annual costume parade in the gym that morning. Students will still go outside for some fresh air and exercise during recess/lunch so costumes should be easy to take on/off if you are concerned about them getting dirty. Please send a note if this is the case. Thank you!
*We are going to follow our usual tradition and follow up Halloween by having Pajama Day on November 1st. Parents in the past have appreciated the little extra sleep and one less step the morning after Halloween :)
*Our leadership group is offering a movie fundraiser at lunch on Halloween (Scooby Doo). The cost is $1 for students who would like to attend. They will also be offering face painting (by donation) for anyone who is interested.
*Please check our Fairview website and Facebook Page regularly to receive information from Mrs. Watkins and our PAC group. Please use the link below if you are able to help our PAC collect prize donations for our upcoming bingo night. http://www.volunteersignup.org/4MAFE
*Next week, your child will be bringing home a book bag. These will contain books at your child's approximate reading level. We realize that many of you are already accessing levelled books via our Raz Kids link but this will give you a hard copy option as well. Please ensure that your child brings them to/from school each day (just like their planners) as we will be using them here as well. Books will be exchanged every 2-3 weeks. The bag will also periodically contain a book with a yellow post-it in it. This is from our Reader's Workshop station and should be the book that is focused on first so that your child feels confident presenting it to the class in a small group. Thank you!

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all enjoy the long weekend ahead :)
Updates/Reminders/Thank you's
*Please pay for the planner, send in headphones and send in outside shoes if you have not already done so
*A big thank you to all of the parents who drove for our field trip today! It was a big success and I was so impressed with the perseverance and positive attitude of the students (many of who haven't had much experience with skating)

*Fairview's hot lunch program is going online! Please see photo below for registration information
*There are also some photos of some of our leaf art (thank you for sending those in). We did a leaf art self portrait and met Mrs. Rowledge-Toscani's class in the forest for a cooperative art project as well. There is also one of our sunflowers. A big thank you to Sophia's family for sending in a sunflower for us to observe and dissect.
I hope you all enjoy the long weekend ahead :)

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all enjoy a fantastic Thanksgiving! It sounds like there are a lot of family gatherings in the works :) I am sending home a Thanksgiving gratitude scavenger hunt in your child's Poetry and More duotang. Please help them complete this as homework over the weekend.
Updates/Reminders/Thank you's
*thank you for sending in dry leaves, we will be using the small/medium ones for an indoor art projects and the large ones for creating art in the forest. We are getting close to having enough so if you haven't already done so, if you could please send them in that would be great
*please send in planner money, inside shoes, entertainment books, headphones/earbuds and the yellow information forms for the office if you have not already done so
*skating permission should now be on the portal, drivers are needed for this field trip so please ensure that you have a current driver's abstract in the office 604 465 9331
*your child is bringing home an important information sheet about IXL, which is an online learning site. We will be using it largely to support our math curriculum but you are welcome to access this at home. This is a good way for your child to continue to practice speed/accuracy of his/her math skills and also find a challenge as there is access to every grade. The site is connected to our BC curriculum. You can access this site using our 'useful links' on this blog. This also where you can access RAZ kids which is the individualized reading program we have also started. Your child will have brought home information on this last week, along with a follow up email with detailed information.
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
