We are excited for our Greenhouse Fundraiser on Friday! We will have basketball games to watch as well as some interactive skills challenges for the younger ones between games. There will be pizza for sale as well as concession treats! Due to this even being outside of school hours, all students Grade 6 and under must either be accompanied by an adult or by a sibling/family friend Grade 9 or older. We hope to see you and your family there!
Well, we had a very rainy day at the Blue Heron Reserve yesterday, but we were still able to enjoy different elements in the day. We did spot one little frog in the rain, which caused lots of excitement. Thanks to the parents that braved this rainy day with us! I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend.

The School Board
First full week we have had since before Spring Break. We had a lot going on, but it was good. The kids enjoyed ending the week with watching Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, as well as having Superhero Dress Up day in the middle of the week. We have been working on measurement in Math, and got outside to trace our bodies and then measure, we have continued working on independent novel studies, and we had an assembly this week about Online Safety. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, see you on Monday.

We have finished reading Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Tomorrow afternoon we will be watching the movie (the older version, NOT the one with Johnny Depp). Let me know if you have any questions 🙂
Just a reminder that Wednesday is Star Wars/Superhero Dress Up day, but no weapons are allowed (this includes light sabers).
We had a great week in Grade 2. We have continued in our trip across Canada, been learning about the water cycle, and also talking about the Fruit of the Spirit in Bible. This week we have also spent some time reading stories and talking about kindness. In the last couple of weeks we have had some challenges with the way we are speaking to our friends, and did an activity to see how our words have impact. Each student had a heart on their desk, and we talked about hurtful words and actions that make us sad, and we crumpled the heart. Even when someone apologizes, we uncrumpled our heart, we could see that the hurtful things said and done still had an impact. We talked a lot about thinking before we speak, and how once something has been said, we can’t take it back. We can apologize, but it doesn’t completely eliminate the impact. This would be a great conversation to continue having at home with your students also. I hope you all have a wonderful long weekend.
