 Hi Everyone,

June has arrived and so has the sunshine!  It is so nice to be warm again! We will continue to spend a lot of time outside so please make sure your child comes to school prepared for the weather.  A waterbottle is also a great idea but you only need to send one as we have a bottle filler right across the hall.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*your child brought home a story necklace on Wednesday.  We did this activity with our District Literacy teacher, Mrs. Penner.  For homework, your child should retell the story, using the necklace as a guide to prompt their memory

*thank you to Sienna's mom for washing some manipulatives for me, I have many, many more bins if anyone else is willing/able to help :). Thank you!

*please check your homes for classroom books and ensure they are returned each day. Thank you!

*library books should not be coming home, so if your child's is there, please return it to the school.  Mrs. Holmes will be doing inventory very soon

*I sent home the extra bag/duotangs today as we will not be needing them for the remainder of the year.  I will occasionally send home items that we no longer need to simplify things the last couple of days of school.  If your child is going to be away during that time, please let me know so I can ensure that they get all of their belongings

*our last Scholastic book order went home today.  A big thank you to Hailee's mom who has been organizing this for us all year

*a big thank you to our PAC who will be leading our 'Fun Day' on June 17th.  They are also giving every student and staff member a free frozen yogurt, yum!

Have a great weekend,

Amanda

 Hi Everyone,

I hope you enjoyed the May long weekend.  It was certainly nice to have some sunshine!  It is hard to believe that next week will be heading into June.  Time is just flying by!

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*as we head into June, I will be looking for volunteers who are willing to take home a bin or two of manipulatives to wash in preparation for the upcoming school year.  Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help out with this.  Dishsoap and warm water work best.

*as we head into the warmer weather, just a reminder to make sure your child has a water bottle along with sunscreen and a hat when it required.  We enjoy a lot of time outside each school day.

*we will need some smooth stones (around the length of your child's pinky finger, or a little smaller) for an upcoming craft.  If you could please keep your eyes out for one (or more in case anyone has trouble finding one) that would be great.  Please label it with a post-it or tape with your child's name on it and send it in sometime next week 

*thank you to the PAC for providing hot lunch for purchase again today.  They will also be giving all students/staff a free frozen yogurt on the Fun Day they organized this year on June 17th

*thank you for checking the front pouch of your child's planner, I can see they have largely been emptied now

*a reminder that the book with the yellow post-it is the one that your child needs to practice for Reader's Workshop.  It is in their planner bag

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*the purple spelling duotangs can now stay home

*this Monday is a holiday, school will reopen on Tuesday

 Hi Everyone,

I hope you and your loved ones are all well and that everyone enjoyed the extra day together yesterday.  It felt very strange having a ProD day on Wednesday, I keep thinking that today is Monday!

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*tomorrow is our last spelling quiz of the year.  The purple duotangs will be sent home and can now stay at home

*please check your child's front pocket of their planner for the class photo.  They did not provide a holder this year so we have placed them there for safe keeping

*our 'Scientist of the Day' starts on Monday.  Please help your child find a simple experiment that they can present independently (I will, of course help if it is needed), collect necessary supplies and practice before their day

*the primary cross country race is on Monday.  I will be leaving at 2:10 again that day.  Mrs. Passaglia and Mrs. Sirovyak will be dismissing the class.  

*please send in your child's cross country permission form by tomorrow if they have been attending practices and plan to join us for the race.  There is no practice today after school or next Thursday after school

Have a great weekend, everyone!

*please send in headphones if you have not already done so

*this upcoming Monday, May 9th and the following Monday, May 16th I will be leaving the school at 2:10 to coach cross country.  Mrs. Passaglia (our buddy class teacher) has kindly offered to dismiss my class on those days (she is just two doors over at the end of the building so it will be easy for everyone to connect as usual)

*tomorrow is hot lunch for those of you who ordered.  I have let your children know that we will be playing first/eating second that day

Have a great weekend everyone,

Amanda Roberts

 Hi Everyone,

I hope you all enjoy a fantastic long weekend.  I will look forward to hearing all about Easter from your children when they return to school on Tuesday.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*A big welcome to our new student, Cohen.  Prior to his arrival, we talked about how it is difficult to be the new person in a class, particularly part way into the school year.  Your children have really stepped up to welcome him to our class.  Well done, Division 10!

*Today your child will be bringing home their sock bunny and a small, wrapped package.  It is not food! It is a little bit of therapuddy they can play with and I've asked them not to open it until they are at home and ask you for permission

*cross country started yesterday and we had a huge turnout!  Practices will be Tuesdays/Thursdays and I will need to leave immediately after the bell.  As I mentioned last week, as a safety measure, I will send your child to the office to be picked up if no one has arrived at bell time.

*welcome back to Mrs. Gobeil (EA) and goodbye to Miss McIntire (EA filling in for Mrs. G).

*welcome to Mrs. Daisy (EA) who will also be working in our class at times.

 Hi Everyone,

I hope you enjoyed your Spring Break!  It sounds like everyone enjoyed their holiday.  

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*Please send in headphones/earbuds if you have not already done so.  Your child will need these each year and they will be returned at the end of the year so that they can be reused.  We were fortunate enough to get 4 new Ipads before the break and I have added some great apps that require individual sound.

*Please pay for the memory book online via the parent portal if you have not already done so.  Thank you!

*Reminder that it is hot lunch tomorrow.  Please front load your child if they have not ordered so that no one is surprised/disappointed.  

*I sent home another one of your child's stories today (ask them about the pre-writing activity we did).  Please read this with your child and edit as needed.

*Our Canada unit is coming to an end soon and we will be moving onto Easter and then focusing on 'The Ocean' for our next theme

Thank you,

This week combines all of the word patterns that we have studied up to this date.

*The sign up for the Zoom conferences is now available via the parent portal.  Please take time to celebrate your child's work with them before the conference and that they need to attend the Zoom meeting with you.  Each conference time is blocked off for 15 minutes but will take closer to 10 minutes.  Looking forward to seeing you all on March 3rd or 4th.  I will be sending a separate Thursday link and Friday link to avoid the issue that occurred last conference time.  Your child's work will come home the Wednesday before conferences. 

*Please send in your child's calendar from Club Red by March 3rd so that we can celebrate their olympic medal accomplishment!

*Please pay for the memory book/online field trips via the parent portal if you have not already done so.  Thank you!

 Hi Everyone,

So far, February has been a fun, busy month.  Flashlight reading was a huge success on Wednesday and we also really enjoyed our 'Book Tasting' on Tuesday.  This was a great opportunity for everyone to learn about different genre's of books and we have now ordered our five favourites for the classroom.  The gym is currently set up for the winter olympics and this week, every class got the opportunity to enjoy Fairview's version of the bobsled, curling and the torch relay.

*Thank you for continuing the daily health check and informing the school if/when your child is absent due to illness 

*Tomorrow is Black Excellence Day, Fairview leadership students are encouraging everyone to wear black in recognition of this important day

*Your child is getting a winter poem for this round of Reader's Workshop.  A copy will come home in your child's planner bag this week or early next week.  Please help them practice for their group presentation.

Thank you!
