Our First Wintery Day!

Thank you to everyone who was prepared for this wintery day today! We only had a few students without gloves! Great Job Room 4!!!! Having proper clothing will help us stay warm and safe!

We are still looking for stamps to mail our "Number Ninja Turtles at Night" to 25 schools across Canada. If you have a stamp or two to donate we would greatly appreciate that. I will also accept coins to put towards purchasing stamps!

Today we started Spelling! Your child should've brought home a list with 5 words. I know some students will find these words easy, but we are just going to do them altogether and once we get the hang of it, we will split into 3 different groups depending on our ability! This is where your child will find more challenging words for themselves.

Practice writing these words at home. Work on them in the car, while making dinner, at bedtime, whenever! We will have our weekly Spelling Quiz on Thursday this week!

I've created a Star Student schedule! We have some students participating this month and others not participating until June! Everyone will get a turn, but they may have to wait a little bit! I'm excited to get this program started.

I forgot to send Home Reading home today! So I will aim for that tomorrow! Sorry about that. If you could please send in a LARGE ziploc bag that would be very helpful. Thanks

A note from the office - Accidents Happen!
The school is looking for donations of gently used pants, from size 4 up to 16, or, youth XS to youth XL. Accidents happen, be it the bathroom variety or a seam splitting, and currently we have no pants to help students in such a situation. If you have extra taking up space at home, we will gladly take them off your hands. Thank you.
