February 23/22

 Hi Everyone,

I hope you all enjoyed the Family Day weekend, we certainly lucked out with the weather the last couple of days.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*Next week is a short week due to conferences (early dismissal Thursday, no school Friday) but we will still start our spelling as it is a review week.  I will introduce half of the wordlist on Monday, February 28th but there will be no quiz that week.  The following Monday students will add the other half of the list to their planners and the quiz and spelling sheet will be due that Friday (March 11/22). This week combines all of the word patterns that we have studied up to this date.

*We will be celebrating the hundredth day of school next Tuesday, March 1st.  Students are encouraged to wear their hundred day projects (necklace, hat, t-shirt etc.)

*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! 

Our book fair preview day is Friday, February 25th.  Your child may bring home a 'wishlist' that day.  Our shopping day is Wednesday, March 2/22.  If you would like your child buy something in person, please send money in a clearly marked container/envelope.  We are strongly encouraging everyone to shop online this year as we are not unable to provide extra adult support due to Covid protocols.
