Thank you to all the amazing volunteers we have had come in and help make our school the best it can be! While Musical Theatre was performing in the gym for our volunteers, the rest of the grade one classes came together and had a Bookflix party! Once the performance was over, we spent some time working on our stories and finishing up our writing samples! After Francais with Mme. Pallesen (which is always a blast!) we got together with our grade four buddies and had them do some Writer's Workshop with us on our stories! We then had our last full PoWer Hour session before our showcase next week!
Have an amazing weekend and I'll see you again on Monday!
Gum in Room 8:
We have allowed "thinking gum" in the classroom to be used as a focussing tool during quiet work times, but we are finding that it is being a distraction to the learning process in the classroom. We are requesting that gum be left at home from now on.
Please and Thank You / Volunteer Opportunities:
- We would love to have morning reading volunteers to share books with students one-on-one, from 8:30-9:00 any day that it works for you!
1) We are looking for volunteers to accompany our full day field trip on Tuesday, May 17 to the Grain Academy and Stampede Grounds to learn about our community's rural past.
2) We would gratefully welcome 4 volunteers to join us on a Suburban Community Tour around our school's neighborhood on Monday, June 6.
3) The grade one Urban Community Tour will be on Tuesday, June 14. This is a while away, but we are hoping for 10-12 volunteers to make it as smooth an experience as possible. It is always a highlight for grade one students and parents, so we hope you can join us!
Library:
Our Library day is Thursday, and many of our students have books out that are long overdue! Please remember to bring back any books that have been taken out of the Library for next Thursday (remember, you can renew books you really want to keep reading!). Thank you!
