We are in need of TWO MORE PARENT DRIVERS for TUESDAY. Please email me ASAP if you have your Driver forms and criminal record check done and can accompany us on TUESDAY, MAY 31.The following parents are driving and supervising on our field trip:

Gerard, Bell, Rafter, McKay, Hadson, Erickson, Nichol

We are leaving around 9am so students will line up at the bell as usual. There is no need to come extra early. Please note that according to the province of BC all children under the age of 9 or height of 4’9 (144cm) MUST HAVE A BOOSTER SEAT. We measured those students in class and have written a "B" on top of the letter they are taking home, if they need a booster. For liability and insurance purposes, if you are not driving your own child, please provide a BOOSTER SEAT for the volunteer parent driver. Children under the age or 12 should be seated in the back seats.

Students need to come in FULL UNIFORM and be prepared to be outdoors (sunscreen, hats, or rain gear). Please send a DISPOSABLE LUNCH. There are some shops there and students will be allowed to go in them with their groups. Do not send more than $20, as students are responsible for their own money or belongings.

Tomorrow we will begin our first in class work time for the different passion project presentations. We will have three weeks of in class work time and that puts us in the second week of June for final presentations. Please ensure that your child has whatever they need from home to make this hour a productive work time. I will have the usual school supplies available (paint, construction paper, etc). A lot of the students need to write speeches and scripts and can use this first time to do their writing. Some students need  to type out their info, we can type and print in class but we cannot save it.

Dear Families:

Thank you for returning the permission slips for our field trip to Fort Langley. If your child has not handed it in, please do so immediately, as we need to confirm our numbers, along with their $5 fee. We are asking for parent volunteers who are able to drive us on that day. Please indicate on the bottom of this sheet if you are able to come, how many students you can drive and if you have the appropriate forms filed in the office. There is still time to get those forms if you need to.

Please note that according to the province of BC all children under the age of 9 or height of 4’9 MUST HAVE A BOOSTER SEAT. For liability and insurance purposes, if you are not driving your own child, please provide a BOOSTER SEAT for the volunteer parent driver. Children under the age or 12 should be seated in the back seats.

Hi families! We are almost midway through May! Spring fever has definitely hit Grade Three and boy are the students squirelly!I keep reminding them that while the end is near, we still have quite a bit of work to get through.

AGM TONIGHT at 7PM

PASSION PROJECT UPDATE:
This week I have been going through their presentation proposals and the materials that they need to complete them. They are allowed to present their research in any way they want, but it must include information they learned. Any material that is not available at school will have to be brought from home. Also, if they are doing a video, any editing will have to be done at home, as we cannot save them on the Chromebooks.  I will get a date to you for their presentation as soon as we book it so you can come and celebrate their learning with us.

Homework:
1. Sp test tom.
2. Math pg 151, 152 & 154
3. Travelling seeds q's
4.Charlotte's Web prediction

BRING SEEDS TOMORROW

May 2

Happy May! It's be big push to get a lot of curriculum finished this month, as June goes by in a blink! Here is a run down of the most important things happening this month:

Passion Projects: Students have handed in their rough draft of written work. The next step is different for each student. They need to decide how they are going to present this information. They can type it out and hand in a report, do a poster project, a speech, skit (video taped), gallery, etc...etc.... It is very open ended. I will talk with each student about their choices this week. Next week, they will need to bring materials to work on the project in school. This remains to be an IN-SCHOOL PROJECT. There may be small parts that can be done at home if we don't have the equipment needed at school. FINAL DUE DATE is still TBA but I project first week of June.

French Play: We have been learning the play POULE MABOULE (Chicken Little). We have broken up into groups and each group must present the play to video tape. This week is rehearsal. We will begin taping next Thursday and Friday.

We have a field trip to Fort Langley scheduled for May 31. A permission slip will be sent home this week.
