A few house keeping items before the end of year.

If you have not already done soo could you please send in any library books, along with class books that you might have at home. I will be sending home on Friday all the childrens work, books and so on from the year. Report cards go home on Monday. Iam still awaiting Scholastic orders, as soon as they  come in I will send them home.

Our potluck is a go for Thrusday if you have offered to bring in any items please remember to do so. Please keep in mind that your child will still need a snack for the morning and maybe a sandwhich because there might be only finger foods. All parents are welcomed to come to the potluck and there is to be an old fashion carnival to follow outside with lots of exciting games to play with your child.

THank you to all of you who brave the cold day at shining waters! The kids enjoyed themselves. I will be collecting all my books from the students on wednesday so please be sure to look around the house just in case you have any as well library books are to be too. I just received an email about a summer reading program at Ecole sur Mer so Iam attaching it. It would be a great continuation of the library club that we have already started. Have a good rest of the week.
TD Summer Reading Club is an event which runs from July to late August in all 26 public libraries on Prince Edward Island.  This is a fun and free way to keep the level of reading among children at its peak. We offer reading groups, time to play, weekly activities, all of these on the theme of water. Splash! is this year's theme. In addition, children  who will visit one of the three French libraries have the opportunity to meet others with whom they can practice their language skills. By entering the group, all children will receive a poster, an activity book and stickers for each week they have read.

I invite you to contact me for any other questions.

Looking forward to read all Summer long.

Reminders for Shining Waters

Hi Folks,
We will be going to Shining Waters on Monday. We have some great parent volunteers coming along with us, a big Thank You to them. We will be dividing the class up 3 students to 1 volunteer. I will place all students in groups so you will not have to worry about that.
Somethings to remember before we go are the following.....
Please be sure to put sunscreen on your child before we leave for the parc and send along a bottle with your child so we can re-apply it through out the day.
It would be easiest for all of us if you send your child already dressed in their swimsuits, along with a plastic bag with their change of clothes in it. Do not forget to pack socks and underwear.
They are to pack a lunch and bring along a water bottle that they can fill up if needed. We will be coming back together as a group to eat our lunches.
Also students will not be able to head home with parent volunteers unless they have a written note saying soo.
I will be sending a note home tomorrow with all this information along with the names of volunteers and my cell number so that you will be able to contact me when at the park.
A couple of notes were sent home today one note is about our class picnic along with the idea of having a potluck. Please fill out the sheet and send it back in as soon as you can. We have invited the other grade one class to join us on our carnival day. The other note is a permission slip to walk up to the French School to have a library tour. My class is fairly familiar with the library but we will be joining the other class for this adventure, leaving right after lunch and being back for 2:30. At this time the librarian will discuss the summer reading program that is available there and she will also be doing a read a loud.
For those of you who have not passed in the permission slips for Shining Waters along with the $6.00 Please do so for tomorrow.
Have a great evening.

The countdown is on....

Hi everyone,
Well the days are getting nicer and we are coming to an end. I can not believe how quickly it has come. Thank you to everyone who has volunteered for our trip to Shining Waters. If you still want to come along you are more than welcome. A sheet with more information will be sent home later next week. Also I wanted to thank you all for coming to our meet the author night. It was a great success.
We had a lock down practice the other day as most of you probably heard. They did great and were very quiet. Bravo!!

The students got a 100 points for their Respect chart, they all voted on going outside to play soccer baseball. We also had a picnic outside yesterday and played our instruments that we brought in for M (music).
We are continuing our alphabet countdown next week letters are K, J, I,H,G.
K- Kilometre and Kangaroo- Students will walk around the school and jump as kangaroos
J- Jus-Students will be making juice
I- IWK- I ask that you make a voluntary donation to the IWK.I will send the donation on behalf of our class
H-Hockey- Students can wear their favorite hockey jersey and paint their faces the color of their favorite team
G- Gateau- Students will get to have a tasty treat. (If any of you would like to volunteer to make a cake Id be more than happy, the students would probably enjoy it more than mine haha)

I would like to have an old fashion carnival/picnic with students and parents before the end of the year. If you are interested in helping me plan this even please let me know, seeing that we do not have all the much time left to plan.It would be in the last week of June either the 22 or 23.

If you would like to meet with me before the end of the school year, feel free to so soo. Iam available most days from 3:00 to 4:00, just send me a note to let me know when you'd want to get together.

I hope that you all have a great weekend!!

Meet the author night

Hi Folks,
I have had a few questions about meet the author night. When you come please bring your child with you, you can also meet your child after school to it that is easier for you. There are some students staying after school to help set up, so if that is easier for you may do so, but please let me know ahead of time.
If you are sending in snacks you can send them in with your child or bring them with you. Once you arrive you may check out all the students work, they have small write about done about themselves that you can read. Also depending on when you arrive, that will be the time that your child will share their  book with everyone. So they will have a read aloud. Once they are finished they made sign their books and you can take it home. I would like to however keep the ones that are not laminated in class until the rest of the year.They have worked hard on their books and have done a fabulous job coming up with their own ideas. They look forward to writing their books every day and in most cases if they finish their work early they are right back to working on their books. I hope that you enjoy this time with us in class and thank you for coming and celebrating your child's accomplishments. It means a lot to them and me as well. If you have any questions feel free to call me or email me anytime.
 Until tomorrow
LA
