Goodbye!!!

It's been such a wonderful year in Grade 1! Thank you to all of you for trusting me with your child and for allowing me to watch them learn and grow! I am always amazed at who they become by the end of the year! I'm excited to see them continue to grow!

If by chance you have forgotten anything, or rather, your child has forgotten anything, we will still be at the school Mon, Tues and Wed morning until about 12.

Have a fabulous summer!!!

Last Full Day!!!!

Tomorrow is a half day! Remember to pick up your child at 11am. They will have things to bring home. We sent some things yesterday and will send more today!

We said Farewell to the Grade 6's in an assembly this afternoon.

Tomorrow we will say goodbye to some teachers who will be leaving.

It has been a lovely year here in Grade 1. We have learned so much and will take most of it with us into Grade 2.

The end is almost near! As we get ready for Summer I want to stress the importance of reading Daily with your child. Please keep this up over the Summer and your child will be geared up and all ready for Grade 2.

We watched a bit of Inside Out today. We will finish it tomorrow.

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

Happy Summer Solstice!!!!

We wrote letters to our Grade 2 teacher today. It was all about us. We have come a long way in our writing! You should be very proud!

Happy Summer Solstice!!!!

Today we finished our Zoo Enclosures and were able to bring them home. Have your child tell you all about them and the different components the enclosure needed.

We were able to go onto a Literacy Centre when our Zoo Enclosure was complete and most of us chose to work on puzzles. Puzzles are so good for your brain. Keep up the awesome work!

This afternoon we watched a presentation from the Social Media Club. They prepared videos on a variety of topics like, religious discrimination, bullying and a few others. They were very well done!

Mrs. Nelson read us a bunch of stories today as well. We are still reading Where the Red Fern Grows and we really hope we have time to get to the end. Mrs. Nelson may have to skip a couple parts!

Special Note***
On Wednesday the school will have a spirit day to end the year off with some Beluga pride. Earlier in the month we collected donations for the Fort McMurray forest fires and we raised over $700! Thanks to these generous donations we would like to extend the invitation to dress up for spirit day to everyone in the school to make sure no child is excluded from showing their Beluga spirit. If you would like, you can come to school on Wednesday dressed as your favourite book character!
- costumes may not included masks or any props that will distract from learning or cause issues at recess
- Costumes may not be gory or violent in nature and must adhere to the schools dress code

We Rock!!!!

Today we worked on our Zoo Enclosures...they are almost finished. Just a few tweaks more and they will be finished. 

We continued reading Where the Red Fern Grows.  It sure is good. I hope we finish it before school is over for the year! 

This afternoon we worked on a special Art project for someone special in our lives. 

THANK YOU to everyone who has returned their Library books. I think almost all of them have been returned! Great Job! This is the last week for Home Reading Books as well. We will collect all of those on Monday to ensure we have them all back for next year's Grade 1 students!

Please remember to return all library books to school this week! We checked through our whole classroom for library books and found a couple of Mrs. Nelson's books that need to be returned!

Please try to find a rock about the size of 1 or 2 of your fists for tomorrow. I will try to get out to get a few extra myself, or if you find 2 please send them along! Thank you so much!

We are watching Mary Poppin's in Music class. It is hilarious! Today we heard the song "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious".
