Hi Everyone,

We have lucked out with the weather this week as the weather report I saw predicted rain all week!  Hopefully our luck carries into the weekend.  This week I am personally feeling very fortunate as I was able to get vaccinated on Tuesday :) I hope you are staying well and that those of you who haven't been vaccinated yet have the opportunity to do so soon.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*Thank you for reminding your children to bring/wear their masks.  I have noticed a decline in mask wearing in the classroom and I'm hoping we can get back on track. 

*Please pay $10.00 for your child's memory books online if you have not already done so

*Class photo day is scheduled for Tuesday, May 4th 

*Just a reminder that the door is kept open throughout the school day and that we will be outside regardless of the weather.  

*Please remind your children not to bring any personal items to school.  Toys/stuffies can be a distraction but more importantly, we are trying to reduce the number of items going to/from school due to the current circumstances.

*Smencil sale tomorrow. All proceeds go the the SPCA

When: April 30th at lunch.

How Much:   1 for $3

2 for $5

3 for $8

4 for $10

5 for $13

6 for $15

Enjoy the weekend, everyone!

 Hi Everyone,

I hope you have all been enjoying the sunshine.  We have loved our time outside during the school day.   

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*I have been reviewing with the class the importance of staying within their cohort (our class) at all times.  I realize this is challenging, but with positive Covid cases at a record high right now, it is important that we are all extra vigilant.  If you could please talk to your children about this to reinforce the message, that would be greatly appreciated.  

*A Neufeld farms order was sent home with each child last week.  This is a PAC fundraiser and more information is on the forms

*You will notice that your child's hands may be a little messy at the end of the day for the next couple of Thursdays.  This is. because we are busy doing out plasticine art to wrap up our unit on Courage.  Rest assured, we are still washing/sanitizing our hands several times throughout the day

*We will continue to spend time outdoors during the school day.  Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather, including wearing a hat and sunscreen (which should be applied before they arrive at school) on sunny days 

*Tomorrow we will be having a 'book tasting' (getting the chance to look at several genre's of books).  Your child will be bringing home their 'menu' so you can discuss what they have learned with them.  We will not be using our planners tomorrow so please email me if you need to send me a message.  

Thank you,

Amanda Roberts

*a reminder to please check with your child on Wednesday/Thursday nights to see if they have spelling homework

*our Leadership group is having a Smencil Sale to raise money for the SPCA.  

When: April 30th at lunch.

How Much:   1 for $3

2 for $5

4 for $10

5 for $13

Finally, I would like to sincerely thank everyone for your support around mask wearing.  I have been very appreciative of the very high percentage of students in the class who wear their masks daily.  While wearing masks at the grade 2/3 level is not currently mandated, I will be encouraging students who have brought them to school to put them on each morning.  Thank you again for helping provide this layer of protection for students and teaching/support staff.

Happy Easter, everyone!
