LAST WEEK OF SCHOOL FOR 2013/2014.....

Today we shared our writing pieces with K-5, with a "story starter picture" of a girl flying away on a kite. It is neat to see the different age groups reading to one another. Tomorrow we will haveour annual trip to the Anchorage Park, with lunches on the picnic tables at 11:15ish, then moving to the beach. Please make sure your child has at least two drinks, lunch, sunscreen, a hat, and a towel. We do not go swimming, but what is the beach if you can't wade? Wednesday is a half day because of Graduation. Watch for a talkmail with bus times. In the morning, Rick Doucette is coming over and we will be planting three trees in memory of the three RCMP officers who were killed in Moncton a few weeks ago. We are asking everyone to wear red in their honour. Thursday is a full day. Friday is a half day and report cards will be handed out. I will miss each and every student - they are such a great group!

WEEK 37

On Monday, June 9th, we will walk to the Alpaca Farm, leaving school around 9:10am.  We invite anyone who is able to come and walk with us.  Again, if you have a few carrot sticks or pieces of apples, we are allowed to feed the alpacas.  There is also a machine that takes 50 cents (two quarters) with feed available.

On Friday we will have our Field Day, planned and carried out by Student Council.  If it is a nice, sunny day, please put sun screen on your child as we will be outside all day.  They will each receive an apple and a bottle of water during the day, which are paid for by the fees you sent at the beginning of the school year.

Friday, June 13th, is the last day for cafeteria.  Please remember to send a snack and good lunch for the final week (June 16-20).  The last day, June 20th, will be a half day - will let you know on bus times when we are closer to that day.

We are still in review mode, and the students are writing up a storm.  I am so pleased with their progress and efforts this year!

WEEK 36

Only a few weeks left!

During the next few weeks we will be reviewing and practicing skills we've learned throughout the school year.  I'm really quite pleased with the class as a whole - each one of my students has learned an enormous amount this year, and can use these skills the rest of their lives.

The calendar for June came home on Friday - some dates to remember:
  - Field Day on June 13th - more info will come for that day
  - annual beach trip to the Anchorage on June 17th (rain date the 19th)
  - a trip to the alpaca farm - probably next week ( I haven't told the children yet)
  - we will be making alphabet soup on Friday, June 6th.
