Good Morning students! 

Beautiful spring sights on my early morning walk this morning a plus in these times not having to be in traffic. However, I do miss all your faces and the conversations!!

Hope you are all well!  I am still calling families just a few more to contact, I would really like to hear everyone’s voice!! I will continue to call students today in case you are wondering.  I will touch base again on the blog tonight or tomorrow morning so please keep checking in. 

I see that some of you have view the teams assignments and some of you have handed in some.  I will do my best to keep up but remember there are 26 of you. Keep check Teams and the blog, I will put up an assignment about writing me a letter as a check, as well as a possible routine schedule to follow.  Routines are important to feeling good about our lives.  So think about what reading, math, daily physical activity and family fun routines you have or could implement this week.  

A couple of announcements and please pass on the information to others, thank you!!! 

#1 I found this information on the Burnaby South website as there has been some questions about grade 8 Honours exams. The first one was suppose to be tomorrow and it looks like it has been post-poned. Grade 7’s a good opportunity to spend some time checking out your high-school website to get familiar with it for next year.

“Please note, Gr. 8 Honours Entrance Exams have been postponed until further notice.”

#2 Also there have been questions about the Gauss Contest,  it is suppose to happen on May 13, 2020.  It is not cancelled yet but they will reassess the situation in mid April. So we will keep on eye on this. 

See the website below for practice Gauss contest to work on ( I have 13 students who had planned to participate.)  (https://cemc.uwaterloo.ca/contests/contests.html )

#3  Mrs. Araujo has posted a read aloud. Click here to view the post. The Day the Crayons Quit is also one of our family favorites and our copy just happens to be sitting on my night stand as we read it a few nights ago with my son.  It was nice to see and hear Mrs. Araujo.  If anyone feels up to drawing a picture response may be we can get Ms. Araujo to share it for our little buddies to see.  Draw our school community using lots of color in non-traditional ways, have fun and use lots of details and  be creative.

Have a great afternoon everyone back to my phone calls.
