* With things looking like we are slowly heading back to "normal" I'll be looking to group students in the classroom again to give us a bit of space to move around and bring back things like our beanbag chairs.  If you have a health concern about having your child sitting beside someone else, either in a pair or group, please let me know by email in the next day or two*

Week of Feb 14th

* no weekly homework - students should be reading daily in their chosen book to be completed and ready to create their Book Talk about it after our February break.  Reading should be taking class in the classroom each day, as well as at home in the evening *

Monday:  Our first non-masked day for students was today.  Most were very happy about this change since it has been a long time :)   Please check in with your child tonight.  Change might bring happiness, but may also come with feelings of worry or unease, and talking through those feelings can be helpful.

Friday (full day):   Winter Carnival in the afternoon.  Come dressed in Carnival style wearing jeans, a plaid shirt, a touque and a scarf worn as a belt!

  Week of  Feb.7

* Coming up the beginning of March students need to have a book completed at their reading level to share for a Book talk.  They should have completed reading this book by the Monday after our February break (Monday, Feb 28th) and be ready to begin writing a script at that time.  

There is nothing that they have to do for now except to read their book and pay attention to what it is about.  Please help to remind your child that in addition to daily reading in school they should be reading each evening too.

Monday: Math weekly comes home

Gr.5s - Badminton is beginning in the gym.  As part of school supplies grade 5 and up are to have a badminton racket of their own to use for gym.  Please send that in to the school for the next few weeks.  (Gr.4s have access to the short school rackets to borrow but are welcome to bring their own as well)

Friday (half day):   Math weekly #9 due

Next Monday is Valentine's Day.  Try to dress in Pinks, Reds and Whites :) 

Students are welcome to bring a small individually wrapped treat for each of their classmates and/or cards if they want to.  We will be handing these out after our DPA and snack break in the afternoon.  Please remind your child to keep anything in their locker until then.

 ***if your child chooses to bring cards or treats to share please show kindness and be sure to provide one for everyone.  There are 26 students in our classroom. Attached is a class list to help.  We are also fortunate to have Ms. Kowalewski with us often during the day.
