Good Afternoon Everyone,

I hope you had a wonderful day! Tomorrow is day 6 (Reading buddies and St. Patrick's Day).  Tomorrow students are welcome to wear as much green as they can to celebrate St. Patrick's day. Tomorrow is also our Grade 5 class movie and party. Students are asked to bring in some delicious treats for all Grade 5's to enjoy! Thank you in advance for contributing! 

Spelling Bee notice and words have been sent home. Please review them over the March Break! Also, please complete Robinson Crusoe. There are instructions at the end of the booklet. This allows students to practice their reading and comprehension for our term 3 DRA. Please complete over the March Break

Please take some time to check our lost and found, which is over flowing. Anything that is not collected will be donated over March Break to the Diabetes Association. Hot lunch payments are due this Friday, March 6. After care invoices are due Sunday, March 15.  ** For our coding unit, which begins in May, students will need to have a working laptop and email address, as they will be required to send their work to me via email. Gmail accounts were most popular last year!**

This week is spirit week! If you would like to participate you are welcome to wear:
