May 30 - June 3

I'm glad everyone survived the cool rainy week. If it doesn't quit, I'm going to have to get webbed feet and oil on my back, so that I can enjoy it with the ducks. Here's to warm weather soaking into my old bones!
Thanks to parents who were able to come at the last minute to our Endurance Run on Wednesday afternoon. Students did a great job. This is not an easy race for Grade 1 students to run.
*Spelling Test - Thursday, June 2. Students were excited that we didn't have a test on Friday.
*Marathon Club - Students weren't too thrilled about running in the rain. They did it though and then they were ready to come in to the room and sit around my floor heater. It was cool to watch. I should have taken a picture of them. If raining, send dry clothes.
*Running Shoes are wanted at all time. Students can't run races in gum boots!
*Home Reading - Thanks for the help with the home reading. Don't slack off, because students already lose too much ground during July and August if they don't read. Hope you saved the story booklets to use during the holidays or attend the public library to check out books and attend their summer programs.
*Math Meeting in Cardston - I won't be attending the meeting now. I am glad to stay with my class.
*Lost and Found - Check it out because you might be surprised at what is there!
*Warm coats - If am amazed that students are not dressing warmer for the cold rainy weather. We go outside, so please help your child be prepared for the weather. Overdress them because they can always take it off.
*Gates- MacGinite Reading Test - All Grade 1 student will be writing this test this week. Try to have your child in bed early this week. It does make a difference when students are being tested.
*Ivy Coppieters has a new baby sister who was born on Friday, May 20. She has anxiously been awaiting her baby sister, Kenzi for months. Ivy, you will be an awesome helper!
*Website - Dancemat.com - Typing - good for practicing correct fingers on the computer.
*Freezies - Since Sports Day has been postponed, students can still order freezeies for Sports Day - $ .50.
June is here this week. Now that we haven't had spring, maybe summer might arrive a little earlier. I'm hoping!
*Thanks for sending me a note when your child is going home with a friend. This is the time of year when students are trying to make their own arrangements without letting their parents know.
"Enjoy Your Crew"!
