Dear Parents,
On May 16th, the students will be going on a field trip to the Telus Spark Science Center. The bus will be leaving at 9:00 a.m from the school and returning to school at 2:30 p.m. We will need 3 volunteers to go on the bus with us. Please let me know if you are interested as soon as possible. Any other parents wishing to volunteer can drive to Telus Spark by car and pay for their admission separately. The students will be divided into groups and will be exploring the Center most of the day. Therefore, I would appreciate having two volunteers per group.
We are still working on our play. Since I am very busy trying to cover the curriculum, we have little time to practice. The students are divided into groups. Each group has a narrator, a Goldilocks and three bears. Once I feel a group is ready to put on the play, I will notify that particular group of parents and invite them to watch their children. The plays will most likely be on Friday afternoon. I am encouraging students to memorize their lines (except for narrators). I have one group that is almost ready to perform after Spring break.
This week, I will talk to the students about 'what it is to be a good friend'. For the month of April, we will be looking out for students who are being kind to others, who are making an effort to include others, are treating others with respect, are being respectful in class, not being bossy, being assertive, but kind, using their words to resolve conflicts,sharing, welcoming others, playing with different friends, and partnering with kids they don't usually partner up with in class. Everytime we catch someone doing this, their name will be added to the friendship bucket. Once we have 100 names, the students will be rewarded with a pajama party in class.
The students did a great job on their animal projects. I am very proud of them all. I mispelled the word ARCTIC on the project description..sorry.
Sincerely,
Mme Celine
