Hello families and friends,
Just a reminder that tomorrow we are going on our field trip to Heritage Park. Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately to be outdoors for the majority of the day, including the morning. They should also bring a lunch that does not produce much garbage and that does not need to be heated. A water bottle would also be recommended.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Hello families and friends,
Welcome back! We did a great job getting settled back into our routines today. We worked on our literacy and numeracy skills in the morning, and enjoyed a nice body break outdoors to take advantage of our beautiful weather. In the afternoon we looked at a short presentation on ways magnets are used in our world and then finished up our work on our magnet booklets. Our words of the week for all students this week are "magnet", "attract", "repel", "field", and "strong".
There have been a few questions about the swimming consent forms; those were only for those classes that are swimming during the first week that were mentioned in the parent message. Our classes are not going swimming until the second booked week, which is the week of May 16-19. The forms for that will go home later in April. The consent forms for the gymnastics program in phys. ed. need to be returned a.s.a.p. if they have not been yet though.
Have a great evening!

Hello families and friends,
Happy Pi Day! What did you do to celebrate?
Today we spent our afternoon working on creating a non-fiction book using the information we learned about magnets from our centres/experiments that we did earlier this year. We will be continuing this for the rest of the week in preparation for some work that we will be doing after we return from Spring Break.
Continuing our read-a-thon celebration tomorrow we are having pyjama day. The students will also get a Book and Movie Club morning with Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.
See you all this Thursday and Friday for Parent Teacher Conferences.
Have a great evening!

Hello families and friends,
A reminder that tonight and tomorrow night are our Student Led Learning Walks. This time, we will be showcasing work from Kindergarten to Grade 4 related to the common theme ‘Mathematics with Literature connections’. The purpose of Student Led Learning Walks is to make learning visible for everyone as we share what the goals, words and expectations of curriculum look like as they come alive across all grade levels.
· If your child’s last name begins with letter from A - L please attend on Wednesday, March 9th 6:00 -7:30 pm.
· If your child’s last name begins with the letter from M - Z please attend on Thursday, March 10th from 6:00 pm-7:30 pm.
· If you are unable to make it on the assigned evening you are welcome to change nights.
Also, tomorrow, due to the gym being set up for our Student Led Learning Walks, we will be having gym outside. It should have warmed up by the afternoon, but please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately to be out and running around.
Have a wonderful Wednesday, and see you all tonight or tomorrow night!
