Hi Families,
Welcome back to Etienne who was away in Taiwan for a few weeks! He was back in time for our class photos today. We are planning to do another more casual class photo later in the spring when have all the students and teachers present.
We are very excited about writing our own mystery stories! The students are bringing home their writing folders to continue working on them over the next few days. Instead of daily reading for 20 minutes, please encourage "Daily Writing" and encourage your child to write (and edit!) the first 3 pages of their mystery story. They have white planning/idea pages and yellow story writing pages. I think you will be very impressed with their story ideas so far!
The story folders need to be returned to school on Monday, April 29 please!
It was cucumber snack today from the Fruits and Veggies progam and it seemed to be a favourite for many students.
Lates!! We are again having many students trickling in late after the second bell (1/4 of the class came late today!). We know mornings can be tricky...but please help to arrive on time if possible.
MusicOur music teacher has asked the class to please practice the recorder at home for at least 5-10 minutes each day. They should be bringing their instruments and music books home to do that. We have music class on Tuesdays and Wednesdays so they will need to be at school then.
Mrs. Allen messageThe following was sent to us by Mrs. Allen...Hello kids,
Thank you for all of your cards. I loved the messages and delightful pictures. Many of you forgot to sign your names but I enjoyed reading them anyway. I am sure your spring break activities were fun. It is a busy time at RVP with dance, como lake relays, and track attack. Have fun! Work hard for Ms. Donnelly and show your new teacher how kind and smart you are!!
Once I can drive, I hope to pop in for a quick visit.
I miss you all. Feel free to drop me an email. Ms. Donnelly can give you my email address.
Love, Mrs. Allen
Thanks for your ongoing support!
:) Leah
