March 7th, 2017

Hello families and friends,

Our words of the week for this week are "up", "upon", "into", and "away" for grade ones, and "down", "around", "together", and "here" for grade twos.  Yesterday, Mrs. Tuff talked with our class about how the grade 1 and 2 students are going to get to design the back cover of this year's school yearbook.  Each student will get to do a drawing, and they will all be put on display for the school to vote on.  To practice for what a good drawing should look like, we read the story "Hurray for You! A Celebration of You-ness" and we each drew a picture of something that makes us who we are.  Then we looked at each of the pictures and described things that made a picture good, or things that were done well, and the things that took away from a picture, or made it not as nice looking.  They had some great observations.  What is one thing that makes for a good picture?  This is something that we will be working on in our pictures to go with our writing as well.  In math, we have been continuing work on our "alien math".  Ask your child about this.

This week, our lunchroom system has changed.  The grade 1 and 2 students will now be eating their lunches all together in the hub for the first part of the lunch hour and then going outside for recess afterwards.

On the evening of Wednesday, March 22nd, and the afternoon of Thursday, March 23rd, will be Student Led Conferences.  Booking for this will be opening up soon through My CBE Account.  Friday, March 24th, is a PD Day so there is no school for students.  The following week is Spring Break.

Have a great afternoon,
Mr. Soulliere
