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.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*We are beginning a Research project in the library.  Please send in earbuds/headphones if you have not already done so.  Thank you!

*Thank you for supporting 'Club Red' by reading with your child each day, initialing the calendar square and having your child colour it.  Next Wednesday's special reading activity at school is 'Read like an athlete'. Your child can wear their jersey to school and can also bring a favourite sport's book if they have one.

*Thank you for helping your child prepare for their 'Great Canadian'. It has been great to see their enthusiasm and confidence as they share the poster about themselves. 

*We have now sent out a parent portal payment request in the amount of $15.  The break down of this is $10 for the memory book we are creating in class and $5 for our 'Joyful Learning' opportunities (virtual guests/field trips).  Thank you in advance for your online payment via the parent portal.

Looking ahead, we will be celebrating the 100th day of school on Tuesday, March 1st.  Students are encouraged to wear their 100 day project on that day (examples: hat with 100 stickers, necklace with 100 beads, t-shirt with 100 balloons etc.). Be creative and have fun! :)
