FREE Transit Day Field Trip to Deer Lake is Wednesday, Oct 4th

What better way to kick off the school year with a field trip to Deer Lake, followed by an afternoon of Meeting Maywood’s Leaders!

Wednesday, Oct 4th, we’ll be accompanying our little buddies to Deer Lake for a full day field trip. We will be playing forest games and walking along the lake, enjoying the last of the warm weather. Please dress for VARIABLE weather. That means: layers, rain coats if it looks like rain, and sunscreen if it looks like sun. Always proper foot wear, and of course snacks, lunch, and a water bottle. 

Hot lunch students: you will be provided with a bagged lunch for the day; usually a cheese sandwich (or bun), piece of fruit and juice box. You may want to supplement this lunch with extra snacks if your child is big eater!

I’m looking for a volunteer or two to join us this day. Please contact me if you would like to come, or have any other questions. kerri.lanaway@sd41.bc.ca 

Meet Maywood’s New Leaders!

Next Monday, Oct 2 Meet the Leader in-class presentations will take place. Our school-wide presentation will take place in the gym, Oct 5th. 

Students have been busy writing and preparing for their presentations. They will be collecting artifacts (see list below), building their poster-board presentations, and organizing how to make their presentations to fellow classmates and the larger school community.

They will have 3-5 min to present to their class. In the gym, they should be prepared to explain their information and to answer informal questions about their display.

PARENTS: Please help your child finish their typed writing for the presentation at home if they need to. Deadlines are as follows:

Welcome to the new Gr. 6/7’s in Div. 4!!

I am so pleased to meet the new grade 6/7’s of Div. 4! Welcome, students AND parents, to Lanaway’s Lounge!

I hope that you will come to use this site regularly for class updates, blogging and creating your e-Portfolios!

We have an exciting year ahead!

Our electronic homework board is now up and running! Entering homework into the electronic is a student led task. Please be aware that students are ultimately responsible for writing homework assignments in their planner before going home and that some assigned work may not make it into the online calendar.

Welcome Back!

With a great (but somewhat smokey) summer behind us, I’m excited to get back into the SWING of things! I am SO looking forward to meeting new faces and co-creating a new classroom community of learners.

Last year’s Div. 4’s will remain with me (Rm. 112) for this first week, and will be assigned new teachers at the beginning of next week. School supplies for this first week should remain simple – pens, pencils, and pencil crayons (or felts) for colouring. We will be outside lots, so dress for the weather (sunscreen, hat, etc).

Once you have your new teacher for the year, you will be given a supply list, as some teachers may have different classroom needs. We appreciate your patience!

My class list for this year can be accessed here: School Supplies List_2017
