Month: February 2025

Good afternoon families,

Cannot believe we are this close to Spring Break.

Book Forms:

Our class is creating a collective story, forms were sent home this week along with ordering envelopes. You can purchase online or using the notices/ envelopes sent home earlier this week.

A reminder that Monday March 3 all forms are due for book orders. At this moment I have received 7/ 21 forms (I have also checked the online orders). Please submit your envelop with information for purchasing and if you are not ordering, please hand in your “pink” form as well. All forms need to be handed in for the class to receive a free copy of the book (whether you are or not purchasing. 

We fill finish writing our book before spring break and then will be created by the publisher after that process. Our books will be here for our student led-conferences next term.

March Calendar:

Attached is our March Class Calendar.

We are looking forward to families joining us on Monday March 10 for our portfolio share before reports go home on Wednesday March 12.

Spring Break begins on March 17 and our first day back to school is March 31.

Thank you,

Ms. Toor

 

Good afternoon families,

Our class has been working on book making this term for our writing focus. We have been creating books in the classroom, working together with our buddy class who are illustrating our stories using a program called “book creator” and now we are onto our big project for the term.

Our book is called “If You Give Division 12 Exploration Time” and we will be working on it the next couple weeks during classroom time before Spring Break. Each student gets two pages (writing/ image) to add to our collective book.

You have a chance to order a good copy of the book published by Student Treasures Publishing. It will be published and look like a book you can buy from a store which is very exciting!

Orders for this project are due on Monday March 3 (no later as the publishing company needs the orders ahead of time).

ALL FORMS HAVE TO BE SENT BACK TO ME IF YOU ARE ORDERING A BOOK OR NOT ORDERING A BOOK. If you are not ordering please select “no” on the bottoms of the form. A copy of the form is below. This form along with the envelop for orders will be going home today in your child’s planner.

You have two choices for ordering:

1. To order your book online
2. Order your book using the paper copy and envelop

**This is not a mandatory book to buy, but it is a nice keep sake

If you are not ordering please select “no” and return the form

Thank you! We are so excited for this project!

Ms. Toor

Valentine’s Day

Our class will have an in class celebration on Friday February 14th. If you’d like to make Valentine Cards for your classmates please bring them in the morning. If you are also bringing a treat to share, please ensure there are no nuts inside and that treats are individually wrapped. Keep in mind we also have a couple students who cannot eat treats with Gelatin. We encourage the class to include everyone when creating their cards.

I will send home a Class List on Wednesday this week for Valentine’s Day when I am hopefully back to work. I think I caught the stomach bug that’s been going  around our school.
