9.5.13

Thursday, May 9, 2013

This warm weather has us thinking about the lazy days of summer ahead and the countdown is on! I keep reminding the students that we still have a few weeks of normal routine and work to do to complete our year together.

Please keep our Grade Sevens in your prayers, as they receive Confirmation tonight.

Book Reports:
The book reports have been on display for a week and a half now and they are well done! I am glad that the students were able to find a novel that inspired them to create such wonderful projects!

Spring Musical:
The spring Musical, Harmony High, is on Thursday, May 16. Entrance is by donation. Just like the Christmas concert, we will have two performances. One at 1pm and the other at 7pm. Each class will be singing a few songs at a time. Our costume is as followings:




Grade K, 1, 2, 3, :  All students need to be dressed as if they are in the fifties.  They can have poodle skirts, with a blouse and sweater, jeans rolled up, Capri pants.  All students need to look like they are in a high school in the 50’s.

Math:
We are working on telling time and word problems with elapsed time in Math. Please ensure that your child has an analog clock available to them somewhere in the house. It is a great way to get extra practice. Using vocabulary such as quarter to, quarter past, half past, also helps them decipher what to do in word problems.

Spelling:
We have taken a break from the regular Spelling lists to concentrate on vocabulary from our novel study, Charlotte's Web.

Upcoming Events:
** No school May 17 (Pro D) and May 20 (Victoria Day)
**We will be going to the Greater Vancouver Zoo on June 7. A formal permission slip and parent volunteer form will be sent home next week.
**Also in June, we will be visited by our penpals from St. Bernadette. They will spend the morning with us and then we will all walk to the Cloverdale Athletic Park to have fun at the waterpark.
