Greetings
Parents and Students,
We ended last
Friday with Readers’ Theatre presentations, where the boys and girls performed
their stories to various classrooms from Kindergarten to Grade 4. They enjoyed practicing their stories and
working on reading fluently and expressively.
See photos 1 to 15 (email).
We completed
our farm animal research study on Friday and this week, following Agribition,
our two writing projects entail Agribition brochures (will be shared later this
week at interviews and by email) and farm animal paragraph writing. See photo 8
for initial lesson on “Strong paragraph starter”.
Thank you,
Create Artist, Mrs. Beckel, for our 3 Visual Arts sessions with you. The final project entailed creating maps of
the school and using water colour pencil crayons and brushes to paint with. Feel free to have your child show you his/her
“masterpiece” at the interview.
Photos 27
onward are of Agribition highlights and special moments. Thank you VERY much to
the 7 parents who were able to join us for the day. We could not have done the trip without you! Your children were in excellent hands, in
small groups of 3 and the day was educational, relaxing and a lot of fun for
everyone. There was so much to do and to
see in the barns, at the rodeo, at the Family Pavilion, the Farm Machinery Mall
and more. Have your child explain the
photos TO YOU. One of my personal
highlights was the Hoop Dance, as the performer, Terrence Littletent, was one
of my students, 24 years ago, at Thomson School. He invited Roan and myself, to perform with
him.
Feel free to email me additional photos if
you have any on your cell phones, parents who volunteered.
This
afternoon, Constable Jess, Constable Neil and canine, Eko, joined us in the
classroom for a canine presentation/demonstration. After discussing and reviewing DOG SAFETY and
the role of the police dog Constable Jess works with, we were invited outside
to the playground to see the three police members IN ACTION! Thank you to Gr. 3 student Anika and her mom,
Constable Jennifer, who were able to arrange
this visit for our classroom. It was
Constable Jess’s VERY FIRST classroom presentation ever!
Finally, we
welcome another Grade 2 student to the classroom, from the Philippines,
tomorrow morning. His name is
Brylle.
See you later
this week for INTERVIEWS students and parents.
Remember to send your bowling permission forms and method of payment to
school this week.
Cheers,
Ms. Selimos
