Dear Parents and Guardians,

Unfortunately I am away for the time being due to an injury coupled with illness. I am hoping to be back within the next couple of days however I am not certain of my exact date of return. I am checking my email regularly still so if there is anything I need to know in the time being, please email me and I will pass it on to Mrs. Witczak.

 Here is the blog post from Friday.
  Wow! Mrs. Witczak and I are extremely impressed and proud of our students! They were amazing at our assembly today😀😍

  Below are some of the learning activities we completed this week.


  • During literacy centres, we started a new and exciting research project! The students are using PebbleGo to learn about Painted Lady Butterflies. Through their research, they are learning to categorize information and create "jot notes." Ask your child to tell you why we picked Painted Lady Butterflies to study.


  •  We also learned about the sound that "ai" and "ay" makes. The students were then required to apply their growing knowledge of these vowel digraphs to read words and sort them into alphabetical order.


  •  We worked on illustrating our Wall Story.


  •  We started a new chapter book called "Dingoes at Dinnertime."

  • In science, we researched how plants adapt to get more sunlight.

Dear Parents/Guardians, Inline Skating : Our class will be skating on  March 20, 21 and 22 . If you wish, you may send your child's helmet to school on Monday, March 19 and it can stay in our classroom for the week. At this point in time, we do not require parent volunteers as the Leadership Club from Kenneth D. Taylor will be supporting students with getting their gear on.     Request: We are going to be starting our science unit on Building Things in the next few weeks. It is a really fun unit, but it requires lots of materials. Therefore, we are requesting your help!   If you have any of the following items that are empty and clean, please send them with your child to school.   ·        Kleenex boxes ·        Cereal boxes ·        Yogurt cups ·        Shoe boxes ·        Toilet p...

Dear Parents and Guardians,   We have had a very busy week of learning so far. On Monday morning, we started our day by writing in our journals. The students were challenged to write about one event from their weekend with lots of detail. They were also asked to create more than one sentence. Mrs. Witczak and I are VERY IMPRESSED with the progress we have seen in our student's journal writing over the past month. Here are a few examples from September: Here are some examples from this week: Here are all of the sight words we have learned so far this year. At this point in time, your child should be able to quickly read and correctly spell each of the words. When working on the words at home, please ensure you practice them in a different order each day:)                             1. the                  11. he ...
