Hi Everyone,
We had a great morning at Me-n-Ed's pizza today. Your children will be able to tell you all of the steps in making a pizza, the food groups involved and the cool machines that there are in a pizza parlour. They really enjoyed their time there and (of course) they loved the pizza!
*everyone should have brought home some sheets about our upcoming 'Scientist of the Day'. We begin next week so please check your child's backpack to see when they are presenting. If the day I have chosen for your child isn't going to work, please contact me and I will try to reschedule. Parents do not need to attend, in fact I encourage the students to present independently as it is great practice for them. Don't worry if your child picks an experiment that someone else has already done, we learn something new each time. Have fun!
*I have been replacing 'Mystery Bags' for students who are ready, please ensure that all 5 books remain in your child's bag when they are not reading them. Students will not receive a new bag until all 5 books are returned/replaced
*our leadership students are doing a movie fundraiser during lunch on May 17th. Students can bring a can of food or a donation if they would like to attend
*please ensure that your child is practicing his/her poems for our presentation at the assembly Monday morning at 8:45am in the gym
*thank you to our parent drivers for our trip to Me-n-Eds pizza. It was only 15 minutes from here and everyone loved the pizza!
*the hot dog day on May 10th has been cancelled
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hi Everyone,
Thank you for the emails saying the post did not show up. It has completely disappeared so I am now at home redoing it and hoping I remember everything!
*Please send in $10 for the memory books and $1 for the special art project if you have not already done so
*Thank you to all of the parents who helped make our trip to Save-On-Foods a success. The students loved using their mapping skills
*We are waiting on some final information regarding our field trip to the Me and Eds pizza restaurant on May 1st but for now if you could please 'Save the Date' that would be much appreciated. We will need parent drivers to assist on this trip
*April 18th is 'Crazy Hair Day'
*PAC TCBY Frozen Yogurt treat day on April 17/18 at lunch.
*Also Div. 9 & 10 are planning to present our body songs at our next assembly, Monday, May 6th. Parents are welcome to attend! Please practice these poems/songs at home as we hope to have them memorized (they are in your child's 'Poetry and More' duotang)
*Mystery Bags went home today. Each student has a bag with 5 books inside of varying levels, both fiction and non-fiction. These are high-interest books that were provided by our district and the students loved them last year! If your child is an emergent reader and you would like to continue with some levelled books as well please just email me at amanda_roberts@sd42.ca Raz-Kids is also a great option for the children to access books at their reading level. As I mentioned earlier it is crucial for students to continue to read regularly to further strengthen their reading skills.
*Just a reminder as well of our IXL program - a great place to practice and review math skills. This is a great resource which unfortunately we are not using enough! Remember these can be accessed by the link on this blog.
*We will be painting with acrylic paints with our buddy class for the next few Fridays
Have a great weekend!

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful spring break :). We are back in to the swing of things here as we enter our last term of school.
Updates/Reminders/Thank you's
*Please sign your child up for our walking field trip to Save-On-Foods if you have not already done so. It is on Tuesday morning and we will be walking rain/shine.
*Next week I will be collecting all book bags and we will begin our 'Mystery Bag' reading. Each student will receive a bag with 5 books inside of varying levels, both fiction and non-fiction. These are high interest books that were provided by the district and they were a big hit last year! If your child is an emergent reader and you would like to continue with the levelled book bags as well, please email me at amanda_roberts@sd42.ca. Raz kids will also still be available online so that all students will still have access to books that are at individual levels.
*A couple of student teachers at our school have started a 'Craft Supply Drive'. If you have any new/gently used supplies you'd like to donate that would be greatly appreciated. These will be stored in our Art Supply Room so they can be accessed by all of the staff.
*Please send in $1 for a special art project. Thank you!
*If you have not already done so, please pay the $10 for the memory books either online or by cash or cheque (payable to Fairview Elementary)
*I have recently had my computer updated and am having difficulty accessing the Monthly Calendar area of this blog. Important dates for this month are:
April 9-Save-On-Foods field trip (am)
April 10-Club Red lunch (winners have been notified)
April 17th-TCBY and Chips (PAC fundraiser)
April 18th-Crazy Hair Day
April 19-Good Friday
April 22-Easter Monday

Have a great weekend, everyone!
