As you know, from the earlier notice, we are having our annual Lunar New Year luncheon on Friday.

Please remember that your children should bring their own utensils and bowls.

Also, we are looking for one or two parents to help out with setting up the food and helping to serve the students in our room.  If you are interested in helping us out please let me know.

Thanks,

Mrs. Temple

 

Students will be presenting this poem at our assembly.  Thank you for helping your child practise this poem at home.

We will be making our houses next Tuesday afternoon.  Please ensure that you have sent in the items on the letter sent home last week.  The items need to be at school no later than Monday morning in order for everything to be set up and ready for Tuesday.

Thank you for helping your child enjoy a great experience!

Just a reminder that the class is walking to McGill Library on Tuesday, November 5th – next week!  Please remember to send your child’s library card – and any Public Library books, for return – on that day.

Thanks,

Mrs. Temple

It was a very busy and fun day!!!  I hope you all had a good Hallowe’en night!

Today we joined our big buddies in a school-wide pumpkin carving activity.  Even though some students – but clearly not all – were a bit squeamish about touching the insides of a pumpkin, a good time was had by all!

The seeds were collected and will be washed, roasted, and given to classes to eat tomorrow.

A huge thank you to the parents who came out to help with this event.

By now you  have had a chance to read through the letter from Mrs.  Schwarz about the Sharing Luncheon scheduled for this Friday.

We will be needing some parents to come in to help set up the food contributions from our class.  If you are available to come and help out, please email me or drop me a line in your child’s planner.

Thank you,

Mrs. S. Temple

We began our afternoon in the classroom with a discussion of Terry Fox.  I shared information about Terry’s early life, his struggle with cancer, his journey across Eastern Canada, and his vision for raising money in order to help scientists find cures for cancer.

We then joined the rest of the school for an assembly in the gym where we saw a video of Terry’s ‘Marathon of Hope’ journey.

The official run followed the assembly.  Students had been preparing for this over the past two weeks by running each morning at the start of the school day.  I was very impressed by how well our class kept on going!  The weather was spectacular, as well.

Each student in the class had shucked one ear of corn earlier in the morning.  These cobs were then cooked by parent volunteers and given to students with the option to add butter and/or salt.  Most students enjoyed eating the corn after the run – many students went back for seconds!!

It was a great day!!  With the Pro D day tomorrow I hope you all have a great long weekend!!
