May 18, 2016

Hello families and friends,

We have been having a great week of swimming!  The students are really enjoying this and have been learning a lot.  Tomorrow will be our last day.  A reminder that Friday will be a PD day so no school for students, and Monday is a holiday.

Over the next few weeks we will be working on a research project about some local small flying and crawling creatures.  Each student has picked a creature, and will be looking for information about where it lives, where it fits in the food chain, its body parts and adaptations, and how it is helpful or harmful.  If you would like to help your child with finding some of this information there is a great search engine for kids called KidRex.

Over the next week, our classroom is going to be continuing our Yellow Fish Road Project.  As part of our work in this Canada wide initiative we will going out in our community and painting "Yellow Fish" on the storm drains as a reminder to everyone that what we put down the storm drain goes straight out to our river water.  In order to do this project we will require approximately 4-5 volunteers on the afternoon of next Wednesday, May 25th to help lead small groups of students in carrying out the painting and distribution of Yellow Fish Road door hangers.  If you are available to help us, and/or another class, please let your child’s teacher know as soon as possible.  We have had a shortage of volunteers for this, so any help would be wonderful.  Thank you!

Picture Order forms are due back Tuesday, May 31st.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!
