Hi Everyone,
I hope you all have a terrific weekend! Here are some updates and reminders about the upcoming weeks.
*next Wednesday is our bake sale. Please send in treats for the sale and a loonie or twoonie so your child can purchase a treat or two. All funds raised will be donated to the O.W.L Society.
*****VOLUNTEERS ARE STILL NEEDED FOR THIS, PLEASE SEE THE PREVIOUS POST FOR THE TIMES*****
*Our 'ACT' field trip is coming up on Tuesday, February 9th. Thank you to Luca's mom (2), Max's mom (4), Tony's mom (3), Jaxon's mom (3), Vincent's mom (4) and Emily's mom (3) for driving (the number beside your name is the number of children I have recorded that you can take, if this number is incorrect please contact me on Monday) Mrs. Rowledge-Toscani's parents have a little room to help us out but we are still in need of one more driver if someone is available. Please contact me on Monday if you are. Thank you!!!
*Scholastic book orders are coming home today and are due on February 10th. Remember that you can now pay online.
*We had our first spelling quiz today! Everyone was very excited. I have told the students that next week I will not be allowing capitals in words when they are not needed-those will be marked as incorrect. Please encourage your students to practice using lower case letters at home to help them develop this good habit.
*Thank you to Brianna's dad for volunteering during our owl stations on Wednesday. They were a lot of fun!
*A correction on the calendar-our Valentine's party is on Friday, Feb. 12th (thanks to Luca's mom for letting me know of my error). Please see the previous post for who is brining treats and a list of the class names for writing Valentines.
*I have added a new link to our blog, it is the song the boys and girls have learned with Mrs. Godfrey (see poetry and more books). Enjoy the song, it is catchy!!!!
*Also, a reminder that while I encourage the boys/girls to go outside rain or shine I will not be allowing them to go out if they aren't dressed appropriately for the weather or have a change of clothes (unless you send me a note saying otherwise). Some students are showing up with light hoodies on expecting to go outside in the pouring rain during choice days. They then spend the remainder of the day complaining about being wet :) Thank you for sending appropriate gear or a change of clothes so that they can go outside whenever the opportunity arises! :)

Hi Everyone,
Here are a few updates and requests for volunteers. We have a busy few weeks ahead of us!
*we are still short drivers for our field trip to the ACT theater, please contact me if you are able to help out with this (see monthly calendar or the parent portal notice for details-all students must be given permission via the parent portal)
*volunteers are needed this upcoming Wednesday, January 27th. We have planned some owl stations in the library and we would need your help from 12:45-2:00. Please see me or write a note in your child's planner if you are able to help. Thank you!
*February 3rd Divisions 6, 7 and 9 are putting on a bake sale. This is a fundraiser so that we can 'adopt' some owls (by this we mean donate money to the OWL foundation so that they can take care of some owls on our behalf). We will need your help in order to make this a success. Thank you in advance for supporting this endeavour.
1) Please send in some baked goods on that day
2) Please send in a loonie/twoonie for your child to purchase a treat
3) We will also need parent volunteers to help sell the goodies at recess (we'd need you about 9:20 to set up) until 10:30. We would also need volunteers over the lunch break to sell treats (12:10-1:00) If there are enough leftovers we will also sell on the 4th and will need volunteers for this.
As you know, we are studying owls at the moment and our students are very excited about the opportunity to help some injured/sick animals be taken care of so they can be released into the wild again (if possible).
Also, some of you may be eager to begin Valentine's cards. Here is a list of the students in our class. Please ensure that everyone is included. Thank you!
Kaitlyn, Luca, Max, Myra, Danielle, Tony, Cameron, Kevin, Cadence, Kenyone, Duncan, Novah, Stephanie, Jaxon, Priya, Vincent, Emily, Daniel, Taylor, Jacob, Camille, Brianna, Young Hoon, Brayden
Our Valentine's Day party will be on February 14th. Thanks in advance to these people for sending in treats: Vincent (fruit plate), Luca (veggie plate), Kaitlyn (cheese/crackers), Priya (sweet treat), Jaxon (popcorn,chips or pretzels)
Have a great weekend everyone. Please let me know if you are able to volunteer for any of the above activities.

I was certainly spoiled by you all and appreciate your gifts and kind thoughts. I have been enjoying (and sharing) all of the treats and will have fun shopping with my gift cards.
Happy New Year!

Hi Everyone,
It was great catching up with all of you during our student led conferences. I think that all of your children have a lot to be proud of this term. I know this is a very busy time for everyone so I will keep this brief.
*Please see the calendar for details on this busy upcoming week, the students will be wearing their pajamas a lot so that will take the 'getting dressed' part of the day off the list! Christmas hats are also welcome!
*We will have our class party on Friday. Thank you to these parents for sending in treats: Kevin (fruit plate), Novah (veggie plate), Taylor (cheese/crackers or small sandwiches), Cadence (sweet treat) and Jacob (popcorn, chips or pretzels)
*Please send in a favourite Christmas book with your child that day also.
Enjoy your weekend, everyone and Merry Christmas!

Hi Everyone,
It is hard to believe but December is actually here! Everyone is excited about all of the wonderful activities that go along with Christmas. I hope you all enjoy some fun family time this weekend.
Reminders/Information
******We are skating on Monday. Please send a booster seat for your child (along with skates and helmet if they aren't renting). Also, if you have not yet paid for rentals please send the cash with your child as I can no longer take online payments (the cheque has been made). Thank you to all of the parents who agreed to drive, especially Jaxon's parents who are both driving and who made arrangements for another vehicle so that we didn't have to cancel. We really appreciate everyones help.
Conferences are also next week (see monthly calendar for dismissal times). If you have not already done so, please sign up for a conference. It is mandatory that I meet with every parent and your child as it is part of the reporting process now. If you are having any trouble with the 'You can book me' site or you need an alternate time, please contact me.
Please ensure that your child is practicing his/her concert songs each weekend. We want everyone to feel confident on the big day, your help with this is much appreciated.
We didn't receive any pinecones so we will be making a different Christmas craft. Your child is welcome to bring a Santa hat (or other Christmas hat) to school next week if they would like to wear it for the photo that will go on the craft.
***Please note that I have added some new information on the monthly calendar (regarding Dec. 18th)
Have a great weekend, everyone!
