I also wanted to thank the class for the great baby gifts and surprise cake at the end of the school year!!!  I hope everyone is having a GREAT summer....only a couple of weeks left until SK!  I am sure it felt like only yesterday that your little ones were coming home from the hospital and now they are getting ready to start their second year of school. 


All the best in this coming school year!

Year End Party

I meant to post this earlier, but I have had spotty, at best, Internet access at home (the joys of living in  the country)!

Our year end party will be on Wednesday June 27.  We are still looking for volunteers to send in veggies and dip, cupcakes, cookies and juice and cups.  If interested please email me (sarah.davies@ocdsb.ca) or send a note in your child's notetote.

Our field trip is rescheduled until Tuesday June 26 and the last day of school is Thursday June 28!!!! 

URGENT

Due to the extreme heat advisory for tomorrow, we have rescheduled our trip to the Kinburn Berry Farm.   We will now be visiting the Berry Farm on Tuesday, June 26.  Field trip forms have been sent home in your child's notetote, please return as soon as possible. Thanks for your understanding!!!

Calendar Not working

Thanks Jen for letting me know.  It worked great from school and not so well from home this afternoon.  I will keep trying over the next few days.  The only date for the calendar for May was library (next Thursday) which will also be our last day to take out books.  

Renovating the House Centre again!

Earlier this spring it was a post office and now we will magically turn it into a grocery store.  Connecting with our unit on farms students will get to experience environmental print (the print that surrounds them in their everyday lives, like the name of the favourite granola bar), write grocery lists, signs (for sale items, open/closed, etc.) and play and learn about money (names of coins).  However, we do need your help for this centre.  Please send in any clean, empty containers (e.g. boxes, produce containers, plastic juice jugs etc.)  for our grocery store to help us stock the shelves.  Thanks!

Calendar

Here is our new calendar.  I have created a separate page for the calendar which you can find at the top of the blog with a new tab with the same name.  As I mentioned before I am new at this and still working out the bugs. It took me about 20 minutes just to resize the calendar (Ah!!! technology).  Hopefully everyone will find this helpful. 

A new literacy centre

This week one of  our centres involves building words in various ways and reading the word.  The focus has been on number words.  Next I will add colour words to the selection.
