Zander Update

Thank you to Zander’s parents for taking the time throughout their very emotional day to give us updates on how he’s doing. Thank you on their behalf for your thoughts and for supporting his friends who care so much about him.

The surgery went well. He has been awake and talking but will stay in ICU for a bit to rest up.  We plan on having him back in class and inspiring us all again after the Christmas Break!

Looking For Glass Bottles

Hello Parents,

Grade 5's are in need of clear glass bottles to borrow for a math-science experiment.

These may be hard to come by so we are willing to take clear beer bottles as well.  Not too large a bottle and it should have a narrow opening that we can easily seal shut.

Kind of like, but not limited, to these  sizes of bottles.

Grade 4 Snacks

Dear grade 4 parents,

This is a request from the children in class who are constantly being asked for snacks in the afternoon from their classmates.  It has been posted already that many students are still hungry in the afternoon or choosing not to eat their last snack because they don't like it. They have been asked to talk to their parents about making sure they have enough snacks to last the day.  I'm sure you have seen them attack your refrigerator and clean it out within minutes.

Our other friends who are managing their snacks throughout the day are feeling pressured to feed their friends. Please help take the pressure off them. They are kind souls who want to feed their friends .......

Test Reminder

A reminder that both classes have a math test on Friday. Both classes had a review today, marked, and should be brought home with them.

Cool News For Grade 5

An awesome opportunity has come up for 2 lucky grade 5 students!  On December 7th, I will be attending a workshop downtown to support our Micro:bit  Living Space project as part of Computer Science Education Week.

And.... I get to bring 2 students with me as my co-learners for the day! This would be treated as a field trip and you would have to fill out the permission form.  Parents are responsible for getting their child to the workshop and picking them up.  The workshop is downtown on Queen St.

I went to a similar workshop last year sponsored by Microsoft. It was fantastic with an incredible provided lunch, snacks, and hands on coding!

Please read the link for more information and details.

After you  have looked everything over and have discussed with you child please send a note in their agenda letting me know that they can be entered into the draw to choose 2 students.
