Week of June 10th

Monday: Please return field trip forms ASAP and don't forget the math Final on Thursday.  Keep studying!

  • Also, very important - If you know that your family will be travelling or not attending any part of June please let me know in writing right away.  We need to be able to provide accurate student counts to the swimming pool and I need to make arrangements for students to bring home all of their supplies and clean out their lockers and desks ahead of time.
Tuesday: iRide - all students need a bike and helmet at school please

Wednesday: Please remember that I am still looking for parent volunteers for our field trip to Cave and Basin on June 25th.  As well as any parents that would like to swim in the pool with their kids on June 27th

Thursday: Math Final Exam
 iRide - all students need a bike and helmet at school please

Friday: Math weekly (the last one of the year) due.  Half day for students.

Writer's Workshop - information for students involved in this club:
Dear parents and students,
Please note that the evening Publishing Party for students who took part in the Writers Workshop has been cancelled.
The participation level was lower this year and didn't warrant the cost of hosting a party at Arts Place.
Ruth Kerr, the generous author who ran the club on her own time, sends her best wishes and want to congratulate everyone who completed their writing project this year. 
Students' printed books will be available at the LGMS library next year.

A request please:

As we move towards the end of the year it is still very important that students have all of the necessary supplies with them in the classroom every day.  Please check with your child and see if there is anything they need  to get them through June.  (I had 10 pencils to "borrow" on my desk Monday, the last of them disappeared first period this morning)

Students need each day:

  • agendas
  • pencils, erasers, etc...
  • safe running shoes for gym (not sandals or slip-ons)
  • hats and jacket for gym too (most gym classes are outside this time of year)
And please don't forget that next week we begin iRide so everyone needs both a bike and a helmet at school each Tuesday and Thursday.

What an awesome day at Bow Valley Provincial Park with our interpreter and amazing parent volunteers!  Below is a slide show of pictures from our day.  This will be playing in a loop on our blog, but since it's too big of a file for the forwarding program it probably won't come through on your email.

So instead, just follow the link to take a look at it live on the blog!

June has started with some wonderful weather for us all, I hope that you were able to enjoy some of it with your family this past weekend!

Monday: New spelling words handed out.

Tuesday: Please remember that next Thursday all students will have their math final for the year.  A practice final to help with studying has already been sent home, and is also posted on our blog.  Please help your child to do their best by helping them to practice and study a little bit each night.  Night before "cramming" is rarely successful and doesn't help students to retain these important skills.

Wednesday: Bow Valley Plants field trip.  We will be leaving at 8:45 so please help to ensure that students are in the classroom and on time with everything that they will need.  More then one water bottle is strongly recommended since there is nowhere to get water on site.
Thank you to all parent volunteers.  Even if you are driving, please check in with me in the morning so I can give you your student group (and so I know that you are here :)

Thursday: Reading Records are due

Friday: Full day Friday.
Spelling is due.
Mountain Maker Madness is happening in the morning!

i Ride starts next week:  All students need a functional bike and helmet at school to participate in these hands on sessions.
