We've been enjoying our virtual field trips so much that the 4/5's will be doing another one on Feb 20th. This time we will be meeting up with bat biologist Kirsten Lear to learn about bats and how we can help contribute to bat conversation in our own backyards.

A Few Reminders
The grade 4/5’s will hopefully be skating Thursday (tomorrow). The 6’s will eventually go too.
Report cards will also be going home on Thursday. Grade 6 will return their envelopes and signed slips to me. A reminder that due to job action, there will be no comments (grades only). If you have any questions or would like to discuss math and language, then I am the teacher you are looking for.
Students are suppose to be taking home their assessment folder after returned work. This will help you get a better understanding of their abilities. There will be a general overall language assessment coming home next week for you to see.
Happy Hearts Raffle is tomorrow. I still have extra tickets if the grade 6’s bring in money.
Friday is a PD day.
No school Monday (Family Day)
Tuesday is grad photo day for the grade 6’s. Try and wear a white collared shirt if you can.
Also due to job action, you are encouraged to check the school website to keep up to date with school and board planned activities. I can only post classroom related information.

Grade 6 Grad Photos
The grade 6's will be taking their graduation photos on Tuesday, Feb 18th.
They are encouraged to wear a white shirt that has a collar. If you don't have one, I believe the photographer has a fake collar that they can put under the robe for their photo.

Family Life Gr 4/5
Mrs O'Neill will be starting Theme 3 of Family Life in religion shortly with the 4/5 class. This is the created sexually unit and a letter will be going home to notify you. Here is the letter with the links to the content that will be covered. I think you should be able to access the letter.
I just checked out the site and it's not really a quick read. I gave up and I'm use to these documents. I'll try to find a more user friendly and to the point one to post.
Because this is a split grade and the content for grade 5 is more mature, I will be joining in and taking the grade 5 class while Mrs O'Neill will focus on the grade 4's.
The grade 5 content is very important as some of your children might have already started puberty or will be soon enough. Please know that you are the most important source for them to go to with questions. It's a perfect time to break the ice and start having these conversations with them (if you haven't started already). While I try and be as honest, inclusive, and informative as possible with them, I may ask them to take their questions home to you to answer.
I'm not sure yet when the grade 6's will start their unit with their teacher. I think it will be happening soon. Their teacher will be covering the content with them on their own.
