*A new blog has been created in hopes that parents
will be able to receive the blog messages through email. Starting on Monday, Jan. 30 you can submit your email address in the box
titled “Follow by email” on the side of the blog. Don’t forget to check your junk email in case
the blog is initially sent there.
(Hopefully this will work!!)
Highlights
Each student received a small inuksuk made out
of soapstone. We used sandpaper and
water to round the edges and smooth the soapstone. Our next step is to add oil to make our carvings
shiny.
We finished the novel “Hour of the Olympics”
which talked about the first Olympic games in Ancient Greece.
Report cards will be handed out tomorrow. Please sign and return the report card
envelope, so we know that you received the report card. Keep the report card.
Important Information
We have had a number of parents volunteer for the Clay for Kids activity
on Feb. 6 from 12:40-2:40 pm. Thank you
for this! Ms. Bain will be contacting
you through email. There will also be
additional volunteer opportunities coming up in the next few months, so please
continue to check the blog if you are interested in helping out.
Valentine’s Day
For the past two years, we
have allowed time in the classroom at the end of the day for students to hand
out Valentine Cards and/or Kindness Cards and Messages to their
classmates. If you are planning to do
this as a family, and this is absolutely voluntary, please write a card
for every student in the class. Homemade cards are always special, remembering
that the virtue of Kindness, Caring, Friendship and Compassion should be the
focus of the message.
As stated in our Parent
Handbook on page 5:
“Parents please DO NOT SEND
any cakes, cupcakes, or other treats to school. We have too many children with
severe allergies not only to peanuts but to wheat and dye based products. As a
staff we will ensure your child will not receive ‘treats’ or be passed on any
treats brought in by parents to your children. THIS INCLUDES: the distribution
of all ‘treats’ parents wish to distribute on birthdays or for any holidays.
Homework
-Spelling quiz tomorrow
-Reading/Raz-Kids (Don’t forget
to sign the reading log sheet)
