Highlights

We talked about how good readers have busy brains and are always wondering, or asking questions while they read.  We read the story “The Wump World” by Bill Peet and students recorded their questions before, during and after reading.  This book also tied in nicely with Earth Day on April 22.

In Math, we continued to work on strategies to add and subtract 2-digit numbers.

It looks like it may rain/snow over the next couple of days.  Please dress your child accordingly.

Important Information

Invitations were sent home for our Volunteer Appreciation Celebration on May 16th.  If you are able to attend, please fill out the bottom part of the invitation and return it to the school so we can plan for the appropriate number of people.

Multi-Cultural Night

Our annual multicultural evening will be held on May 25^th from 6:30 – 8:00 pm. . Our theme this year is Canada 150. This year, we are celebrating the 150^th birthday of our country and its many diverse cultures. We are still looking for student presenters to share their culture with our school community. Examples could include a dance or song performance. We are also looking for parent volunteers to help with the evening running smoothly. If your child is interested in doing a presentation or if you are interested in volunteering, please contact the multicultural evening committee at the following e-mail:phschoolcouncil@gmail.com Thank you very much for your support!
