Hello everyone.

We hope you have had a great extended weekend!  We attended a Math conference and have learned many new strategies and ways to support your child in their learning. 

We had another busy week and were fortunate to have had visitors from Squamish telling us the story of the Mosquito and the Sasquatch.  We also learned  how to Pow Wow dance.  We think the kids enjoyed both activities!

We are going on our field trip on Wednesday but still need parent drivers with criminal record checks/vehicle information to drive. If you are able to drive  and don't have a criminal record check, please let us know and we can give you the forms Monday morning to be completed for Wednesday. If your child has not brought in their permission form, please make sure they do. 

This Friday there will be a Costume Parade. If they choose, students are permitted to wear costumes on Friday. Students may also choose to wear black and orange instead of wearing a costume.   Please note, the school asks that there be no blood, guts, gore or weapons in their costumes as these can be frightening to the younger children.  We appreciate your understanding.

Here is what is happening next week:

Art - Pumpkin Painting

Math - Place Value, Estimation, Double Bar Graphs

Spelling - Unit 4:  Lists attached below.

Language Arts: Mail Pen Pal Letters
                          Journal Reflection of Field Trip/ Weekly Journal

(Please note: Journals are written as a personal piece of communication of what your child is doing each week. Students are learning to do a quick edit of their own work on their own - they are not published pieces of work.)
