May 16 - 20

We are half way through the month.
Field trip to Aggie Days was awesome. Everyone had a lot of fun seeing and learning about farm animals, irrigation, crops, etc. We had hoped to see sheep shearing and cow milking. We also enjoyed eating our lunches at Henderson Lake and playing on the new playground equipment. A special thank you to Britton Harker's mom. Julia Wert's mom, Halle Galbraith's mom. Oakley Hirsche's dad, Raegan Fichten's dad, and Max Rompain's dad for being parent helpers.
*Character Education- Initiative
*May 16 - 20 Walk and Run - 8:00 - 8:25 a.m. Parents are encouraged to participate. Students and staff will earn popsicle sticks. The class in each grade that has the most popsicle sticks by the end of the week will be the winner of a popsicle party on Fri., May 20.
*Water Bottles - Still a few students who haven't brought theirs back.
*Lost & Found - Check periodically.
*Bicycle Safety - Mr. Hogg is concerned about the safety of each student in our school. He talked to them over the intercom this week about being careful because he has had reports of carelessness.
*Home Reading - We have 5 more weeks of home reading. Make sure you do not give up early. If your child doesn't read during the months of May, June, July, and August, they will really fall behind. Help them retain the skills they have worked so hard to learn.
*Spelling Test - Students did a fantastic job! Words really were harder and I'm so pleased with how well they did.
*Marathon Club - Every Wednesday and Thursday at noon. Students run first and then eat their lunch. A good snack at recess on those days would probably really help your child if they are involved with this club. Congratulations to those who love to run or who are learning to love to run.
*Running Shoes - Please make sure that your child always has a pair at school.
*Absent - Thanks for sending worksheets back when your child is absent.
*May 23 - Victoria Day - Enjoy the long weekend coming up!
*May 31 - All R.E.S. Grade 1 teachers will be in Cardston to a Math meeting with all Gr. 1 teachers in the school division.
Get ready to run or walk. Have fun with "Your Crew!"
