Our Shirts Have Arrived :)

Our graduation shirts are here and they look wonderful! Students will receive their shirts tomorrow. I will be sending home a notice for all students to wear their shirts on a day during the week of our graduation (maybe the Friday after our special day...since we will officially be KINDER GRADS!!!! YAY!). We will get some group photos taken at that time, so it will be nice to all wear our matching graduation shirts.
Keep practicing your graduation poem "On to First Grade" and look for additional graduation info in the coming weeks!

Homework Week of April 29 - May 3

Hello All,

Homework is as usual. Students brought home new science bags and baggy books today. There is also a poem we are learning for Graduation titled "On to First Grade", located in their yellow poem folders. Please practice this with your child. We will be reading it as a group on Graduation Day. As the days go by, students will be bringing home additional material to practice for our special day.

Don't forget baggy books for Reader's Chair on Thursday and practice your sight words for Friday!
Have a great week :)

Congratulations Kindergarten Students!!!!

I am pleased to announce that the Kindergarten class was a winner of the “Which Class Has the Most Sense?” challenge. We raised a total of $72.26 which was the most money per student for our Janeway Penney Drive. The grade 4/5 class raised the highest classroom total of approximately $119 and our school total was approximately $455!!! The Student Council presented us with a certificate that we can display in our classroom. Again I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each student and their families/friends for contributing to this worthy cause. 

I decided to treat our class for all of their hard work. Students voted today and chose to have a pizza party and movie to celebrate their victory. We  will be having our pizza party on Wednesday morning starting at recess time. Students can still order from the canteen, however pizza will be available for all!
