February 5, 2021

 February is kindness month! Our leadership students and team have planned several activities for the month. The students all did kindness hands on Monday that will be displayed in the gym.  

Valentine card exchange is permitted as long as the cards are basic paper cards (cards with pens, stickers or candies are NOT permitted at this time). When you are making Valentines please ensure if you are doing this that you make one for everyone in the class so no one feels left out.  Thanks!  Div. 11 students are listed below!

Thanks to the following people for bringing snacks for our celebration could you please send these in by Wednesday, Feb. 10th.  ***Please remember these must be individually pre-packaged.

Neena -  Chips                     Brody - Fruit Snacks/Rice Krispy/Bear Paw 

Natalie - Treats (chocolate or candy)    Sukhraj - Juice Boxes (already sent in - Thanks!)


We have started our new theme of the Human Body and Nutrition.  We brainstormed what we knew and what we wondered.  I was very impressed by your children's great questions!  A big thank you to Andrea (Chase's Mom) for preparing two special projects that we will be doing.  

Div. 11 has continued our Courage unit with Mrs. Neufeld.  We have started a ''Courage Collection' and have shared things they felt they used their courage to accomplish or do.  We have discussed why we feel courage is so important.  We call it the "safe-risk zone"  SAFE + RISK = LEARNING.

Ground Hog Day Math game is in their Poetry Book duo tang.  The students really enjoyed these games and asked for both to be sent home.  Please take some time to play this game as it reinforces their addition skills and also the rule of +/- 10 rule.  

On Wednesday we have a district Literacy teacher coming to work with our class on Outdoor Journalling.  Please ensure that your child is dressed for the weather as we will be outside for a couple of hours.  Thanks

Our 100 Day of School is on Friday, Feb.  26th.  I am asking that all students make some kind of 100 Day collections.  If you need paper please let me know.  These collections should be sent to school on Feb. 26th and go home that day too.  Use your imaginations!

Please continue to check to make sure your child has Extra Clothes as our rainy weather continues 😟 and we have Forest Fun on Monday and Wednesdays plus Div. 11 will go outside for recess and lunch everyday (our class will not have a choice of staying in as we have discussed how important outside time is)

Also several students still need to bring in Headphones.  

For extra fun spelling practice students can go to the Spelling City link on this blog (they are organized into lessons and are a great way to practice these phonetic patterns and even little spelling tests).
