Nelson celebrated reading last week with several different events.
Teachers and classes decorated their doors with literacy themes, students and staff were invited to dress as their favourite book character and we ended the week with a Family Read on Friday morning.

Thank you to everyone who participated and to all friends and family that joined us to share in the love of reading!
Thanks to Mrs. Roberts for organizing all the extra fun this week!

Posted on January 24, 2019 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Division 7 & 8 have been learning about healthy eating this term and students are bringing home their Vegetables and Fruit SMART Goals sheet today. Click on the image below if you’d like to read more about Canada’s New Food Guide which emphasizes eating plants, drinking water and cooking at home.Your child has set a goal for this coming week. Everyone’s goal is a little different, but they all include eating more fruits and vegetables.
Ms. Tsumori and I would appreciate it if families can help their child reach their goal, or you are welcome to adjust it so that it is S.M.A.R.T. for your family.

S ~ Specific M ~ Measurable A ~ Attainable R ~ Realistic T ~ Timely

We’ll be discussing everyone’s progress when we meet again next week. Please return the sheet on Wednesday. Thanks so much for your continued support!

Flat Stanley Adventures Begin!

Posted on January 17, 2019 by Ms. Watt | 2 comments

We have been learning about continents and other map skills in class. Among them, we are learning how to locate our province, our country and other countries on maps & globes. The character Flat Stanley has inspired our current project. Click on the picture above to learn more!
Division 7 & 8 students have created their very own Flat Stanleys that are ready for adventure! There are a couple different ways they can travel…

Mail Flat Stanley Around the World
Your Flat Stanley can be sent to a friend or relative that lives in another province, or one that lives in another country! Students are bringing home a letter that is sent along to explain the activity to friends or family members & one for them to return to our class. The recipient will be asked to return the traveller after a week or so with pictures of the Flat Stanley somewhere in their area and a postcard or artifact/souvenir if they are able. They may also email me the photos @ stephanie.watt@burnabyschools.ca

Take Flat Stanley on Your Family Vacation
Take pictures of your family with your Flat Stanley at landmarks and recognizable locations during your travels and if you are able to purchase a postcard &/or small souvenir it is definitely welcome! When you return email the photos to Ms. Watt @ stephanie.watt@burnabyschools.ca

When the Flat Stanleys return to school, we will plot their whereabouts on our map and share the information received with each other.
Our Flat Stanley project will continue throughout the year and we are all very excited about what we’ll learn about our world. Our own travels; letters, pictures and artifacts from our friends & family; and lastly through the research we do in the classroom, we will learn about the different places our Flat Selves travel to.

Bring Water Bottles

Posted on January 14, 2019 by Ms. Watt | 2 comments

Hello parents, our classroom sink has been shut off due to items being shoved down the drain, causing damage that needs to be repaired by a district plumber. Although I encourage students to always have water bottles with them at school, it is even more important now as trips to the water fountain can be disruptive during class time. Thank you!
