Dear Parents,

Please join us for our dance performance on Friday at 11:05.

An Occupational Therapist will be visiting our class often to talk about social skills. She came this week to our class to teach the students about listening skills,

This week, Constable Don Johnson will come to our class to talk about building positive relationships and creating safe communities.

In May, we will be having two in school field trip presentations by Teachers Pet. The first one will be on May 3rd and the second will be on May 25th. Both of the sessions are at 1:00 p.m. We will need 4 volunteers for each presentation. Please let me know if you can volunteer on either of those days.

We have our 3 volunteers for the field trip to Telus Spark on May 16th. I would appreciate having more parent volunteers. Unfortunately, you will have to pay your own admission fee.

The students painted lovely flowers using watercolors. They are hanging on the wall. outside the class.

We have one more group presenting 'Boucle D'Or' this Friday. The last group did an amazing job!

In Math, we are working on geometrie. We have been making tangrams.

In Science, we have all planted seeds, and we are waiting patiently for signs of growth.  As a class, we planted carrots, onions and radishes. These ar starting to grow now. The students found worms outside and put them in.

We gathered wet soil outside and observed the soil with a magnifying glass.

Dear Parents,




This Thursday, the first group of actors performed 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. The students did an amazing job! Our next group will be performing on Friday, April 21 at 2:45. Please note the change in time from 2:30 to 2:45. The last group will perform on Friday, April 28th at 2:45. Parents will receive a note in their child's agenda.

The students demonstrated how kind they could be to each other over the last few weeks. Therefore, they were rewarded with a small P.J party on Friday.

The students have brought home little stuffies and their notebooks. The students are to write in English what their little stuffy is doing at that momment. They can keep the stuffies at home for 1-2 weeks as they wish.

We have been disecting flowers in Science, planting vegetable seeds, and experimenting with putting food coloring in water to see if the flower petals would show that color. We have wrapped seeds in paper towels and are observing them over the course of the next 2 weeks.

For the month of of April and possibly May, I will send home a home reading booklet. This booklet has several readings in French. Each day, we will review a reading, and I encourage students to re-read these reading at home daily. We will then, review them once more in class the following day. Please have the students return the booklets daily. Parents are to sign at the top of the page if their child has read to them. The students are encouraged to continue bringing the reading books from class as well.

Please remember to return all French readers as soon as your child has finished reading them. Let me know if you want your chil to bring more readers home to practice.

In Religion, the students have been going over the Easter story. They will perform a mini-skit of the story to their peers.

We have 2 in-class field trips coming up soon. I will discuss this in the next blog.

We are working on a special Easter gift to bring home.
