Feb. 4th

Thank you all so much for sending goodies for our Owl Bake sale.  It was a huge success.  We made $525.00.  Again thanks to Mason and Ava's moms for helping to set up and run the bake sale.

Just a reminder that there is no school tomorrow or Monday for Family Day. Please remember that our field trip to Alice in Wonderland is on Tuesday afternoon so all students need to bring in their booster seats.  I sent home a notice for all parent drivers, please be at the school by 11:45 so you can drop your group of students off at the front of the ACT.  Sorry we don't have enough tickets for parents to stay too.  The show is supposed to be an hour so pick up will be at 1:30 but we will confirm this on Tuesday.  Thanks again for your great support with all our field trips. Many teachers were saying how hard it is to get enough parent drivers and I consistently have more than enough - your continued help is really appreciated :)

On Tuesday there will be an assembly and all the primary students will be presenting our owl song.  Parents are welcome to come and watch.  It will be at 8:45.

Could everyone please talk to their child about only going on their own account on Raz Kids we have had some problems with students going on another student's account and using up their stars.  We have talked about it in class but if you could reiterate this at home that hopefully will help.

Next Friday will be our Valentine's Celebration.  All students should bring their valentines in the morning but we won't be having our celebration until after lunch.
Thanks in advance to the following students who signed up to bring snacks.  Tessa (fruit plate). Cassi (veggie tray) Chase (cheese /crackers or small sandwiches)  Ava (sweet treat). Charlotte (popcorn/ chips or pretzels) Ella (other)

February 2nd

Tomorrow is our bake sale!  If everyone can bring their dozen baked goodies in the morning we will be setting up for the sale.  Thank you to everyone for your support with this.  A big thank you to Mason and Ava's moms for helping at the sale if you could please be here at 9:45 to set up and then again at 11:45.   We are really hoping that we will make enough money for each class to adopt an owl!  Don't forget to bring your loonies too as I am sure you will all want a special treat too!

January 29th

We have had an exciting week to end January. On Wednesday afternoon we had 4 different owl stations set up in the library that the students went to.  Nest building, owl craft, owl measuring and creating an owl cupcake!    Thank you to Charlotte and Quinn's mom for helping out with these.

Thursday after recess we headed to the forest for gym and many of the children all had lot of fun exploring and building this dam or lodge while others had a game of Minecraft.

Our Bake Sale is next Wednesday, yikes that came up quickly.  As mentioned earlier if every child could please send in a dozen something that would be really appreciated plus if you are available to volunteer for helping set up and selling either at recess or lunch please let me know asap. 

The song we put into our Poetry books is also on U-tube and below is the link.   
Warning: It will get stuck in your head! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkFSJrNBsDE

Hope you all got the letter on Monday about our spelling program that we started this week. 
All students should have their tests in their backpacks, everyone did great this week.  
We have changed our library book exchange day to Monday.   Please return all library books on Monday now, except for long weekends.

Another amazing presentation!

Darren the owl guy came to the library this afternoon and we had a second very imformative workshop!  As you can see the children were all very excited and engaged!!   Ask your child who Darren knew?   They are on t.v.

Volunteers needed Wednesday Afternoon

If you are available to help out on Wednesday, January 27 from 12:45 - 2:15 that would be greatly appreciated.  We have planned some great owl stations in the library and the more hands we have available the better!  Please just let me know - thanks!

Div. 6, 7 and 9 are hosting a bake sale on Wednesday, February 3rd to hopefully adopt an owl and help support O.W.L.   If everyone could bring in a dozen 'something' cookies/cupcakes/Rice Krispy squares/bagged popcorn are a few ideas.  We will also need a couple parent volunteers that day to help set up and sell.  We hope to sell at recess and lunch, if we have any left over we will sell the rest the next day.  The children are all very excited so thanks again for your continued support.

January 15th

Couple of Reminders...
***Bottle drive on Saturday   Please support our PAC by supplying bottles or helping out with the drive from 8-1 on Saturday (if available please come to the school).
***No school on Monday, Jan. 18th

Div. 7 seems to really enjoying our owl unit and I can't believe how much they have already learned.  In Reader's Workshop we gave started a couple new literacy stations where they have to write and read the room (all owl facts) and do a crossword puzzle also with lots of interesting information.

We are reading the book 'A place For Owls' a true story that takes place in a owl rehabilation centre in Ontario.  The students are loving this book and can't wait to hear the next adventures of the owls!

We are very lucky to have a free field trip to Alice in Wonderland on Tuesday, Feb. 9th.  Please sign up on the portal and if you are able to drive please see me or write a note in the planner.  Thank you in advance for your continued support.
