Dress Down Day

Tomorrow is Hawaiian dress down day!  

Important Notes

The grade 4 classes will be raising money for their upcoming field trip by selling freezes tomorrow - Wed May 28 & on Tues June 3.  Students can bring $1 to buy a jumbo freeze on these days only.

Please remember to send your heart & stroke fundraising envelope back to school.  The money raised will help children and adults suffering from heart disease.

Friday is Hawaiian Dress Down Day.

The Senior Kindergarten students will be having their graduation on Wednesday June 18th at 9:30 am in the school gym. All parents are invited to attend the ceremony. 

Jump Rope for Heart

Today was our Jump Rope for Heart event!  All the students had fun skipping outside this afternoon! Remember to bring your completed pledge envelopes to school on Monday!

Learning Goals

This week the students will be learning simple subtraction - taking away 1 or 2.

They are continuing to learn to answer questions using the words who, where, what, how, when & why.

They will also be reviewing letter names & sounds.

Although we are constantly assessing the work completed in class, next week we will be sitting with the students one on one to assess their knowledge of letter names & sounds, oral counting, number recognition & reading skills.  The more you work with your child at home the stronger these skills will be.

Victoria Day

Have a good long weekend and we will see everyone on Tuesday!

Aquarium

This week we were very fortunate to have staff from the aquarium visit our school and teach the students about sharks.  Each student also made their own mini shark to take home!

Tomorrow

Tomorrow is Spring Photo Day!

Because of photos it is also a dress down day for the school.  

Students can wear anything they like but do but wear green as it interferes with the photo background.

Learning Goals

This week we will be learning:

- the name & sound of Zz

- words that have z in them

- counting forwards means numbers get bigger & counting backwards means they get smaller

- simple subtraction: taking away 1

Aquarium

We had a great time on our trip to the aquarium today!  

We saw different types of sharks, stingrays, seahorses, different types of jelly fish, lobsters, different types of reef fish etc.

The students were also able to pet horseshoe crabs and a small type of shark!  We also saw an aquarium worker dive into one of the tanks and feed the different fish!

We saw so many amazing ocean animals!  It is definitely worth a family trip!

Field Trip & Graduation Photos

Tomorrow is our field trip to the Aquarium!!!

1) Please make sure your child arrives to school early - before 8:30am.

2) In a small backpack your child can carry please send:

- a lunch

- a snack

- 2 drinks

3) Students must be dressed in uniform: black pants & red top. 

4) Have your child wear running shoes to school so they will be comfortable walking around for the entire day.

On a different note: if senior kindergarten students would like to purchase graduation photos tomorrow is the last day to do so.  You must send your completed form & the correct amount of money to school tomorrow to order photos.

Friday

Tomorrow is backwards day for the entire school.  Be creative!
