March 14/25

 It was such a pleasure meeting with all of you over the past few days and celebrating your child’s learning journey. 

Just a reminder, students have access to Raz Kids, Epic (during school hours), and Spelling City if you’re looking for some educational screen time over the spring break. Additionally, I’ve updated all students' Raz-Kids accounts, so they will have new books available. These resources can be found on the class website under the “Useful Links” section.  ABCYA also has some fun, educational games, especially in math, that your child might enjoy.

Wishing you a fantastic couple of weeks ahead! Let’s hope the weather is kind to us.

March 7th

Skating was lots of fun and all the students are improving their skating skills. Thanks to all the parents who drove and tied up skates!  We were disappointed not to have our whole class there, unfortunately, several were sick and some had holidays. 

   Buddies was also fun, we played board games!

                                             

Please sign up on the portal for conferences. The conferences are Wed., March 12 in the afternoon and Thursday, March 13 all day.  These conferences will be a  30-minute commitment (1st 15 minutes with your child in the hall to celebrate and go through their work and then up to 15 minutes with me and your child to discuss their report card and set goals for our next term).  If none of these times work for you please email and let me know when you are available and we can make arrangements.   

There will be no spelling next week we will start Lesson 7 after spring break.

Just a reminder that there is school on Friday, March 14, it will be PJ day for both Div. 12 & 13!  

February 28/25

It is so hard to believe today is our last day of February!                                                                            The weather looks like spring, today Div. 13 loved being outside during gym and free choice. 

Our Kindness Parade was a huge success.  The students enjoyed walking, complimenting people they passed, all the honking from the cars and meeting Laityview students and staff at Volker Park.  Kindness was definitely in the air!  Speaking of kindness Div. 13 has done an amazing job of their poems, they did so well we will be presenting them to another class and hopefully during a Family Reading in the near future.  Thanks for your help practising these.

In Math we have been working on place value, it is important students have a solid understanding of place value to move forward.  They really enjoyed playing Place Value Challenge (War) with cards making either the largest number or the smallest.  This would be a great game to play at home (your child should be able to teach you)!

We went today to preview the Scholastic Book Fair, your child should have brought home their wish list (I did remind them that it was only a wish list and not to expect all or any of the items!)  Monday is Div. 13's shopping day if you would like to purchase any books or items.            Book Fair is open to everyone Monday, March 3  2:20 pm to 3:00 pm (after school shopping) Tuesday, March 4 – 8:00 am to 8:30 am (before school shopping),  2:20 pm to 3:00 pm (after school shopping) Wednesday, March 5 - 8:00 am to 8:30 am (before school shopping).

Our Skating Field trip is Friday, March 7 - please sign up on the portal, if you are renting skates and/or helmets please pay online or send cash in a labelled ziplock bag  as soon as possible.
