 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!

 Hi Everyone,

It looks like we are going to have sunshine for our upcoming long weekend.  We have all been patiently waiting for some good weather so I hope you are able to get outside and enjoy it.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*our 'Scientists of the Day' have been fantastic this week.  I am so impressed with the level of confidence the children are presenting with.  We have learned a lot of very interesting scientific facts already!  Thank you for helping your child practice at home for their special day.

*please check the front pouch of your child's planner each evening.  This is where important papers for you need to see will be placed 

*the purple spelling duotangs can now stay home

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

*a reminder that Fridays are Fairview Spirit days for anyone who would like to participate.  Our school colours are blue and yellow. 

*thank you to Hailee's mom who has organized our Scholastic book orders each month

Have a great long weekend, everyone!

 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!

 Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all well.  It is hard to believe that we are now in the month of May.  The weather doesn't feel like it yet but hopefully we'll get some warm, sunny days soon.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*next week we will continue with week 12 of our spelling program.  It is a review week so we have been completing it over this two week period.  The finished assignment sheet is due next Friday and we will also be having our quiz that day

*just a reminder to please practice the book that comes home with a post-it in it.  Thank you!

*next Wednesday, May 11th is a professional development day. There will be no school for students.

*a 'Scientist of the Day' notice went home with your child on Monday.  It includes a schedule of presentation days.  Please help your child choose/practice an experiment to share on their day.  Thank you!

*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
