Next Week Interviews

Dear Parents,

This is an important message about upcoming interviews next week. 
We will be doing Student Led Conferences on Tuesday and Thursday of next week. It will be early dismissal on both of those days. Times lots will be in half hour increments to allow time for your children to show and discuss with you some of the work they have been doing. 
Please be sure to come in and sign up. As it is an opportunity for your child to do the leading, if you need to speak to either one of us about something specific, we can set up an alternate time.

Also, as we are approaching Spring Break, please let us know if possible if you have plans to leave early, or come back late from the break and we can plan accordingly.

We look forward to seeing all of you!

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kam

Feb. 23, 2015

Dear Parents,
A few things about this week:

Wed. Feb. 25- pink shirt day ( to promote inclusion and belonging), as well as our field trip to the symphony. Please help your child to be on time Wednesday morning.

100's Day- to be celebrated on Thursday. A notice should have gone home last week that looks like the following:


Students have 3 things to bring in. They should have only one of the food items circled.
Their hundreds collection to be sorted and counted with could be buttons,beans, Lego pieces, etc or a collection of their choice, but it needs to be separate from the the food item.

Multicultural Lunch- kids will be participating in activities on Friday, including a lunch, where students are invited to bring in foods to share. Also, Mrs. Faganello is looking for 2 helpers if possible to help with the lunch. Please let one of us know if you are available to help.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kam

Week of Feb. 16

Dear Parents,

Here are some things we have been doing and some things coming up:

Social Studies- students were sent home with a sheet on comparing sounds and reasons for living in this community which is due back by Monday Feb. 23.
 
Spelling- a reminder to please help your child to have their spelling notebook with them on Monday mornings, especially as I have noticed a recent increase in the number of students who don't have them.

Math- we have been working this week on "doubles" eg. 9+7= 8+8, 6+7= 6+6+1
We will be moving next into some measurement

Reminder: next Wednesday is Pink Shirt Day, as well as our field trip to see the Symphony.

Next Friday is the school wide Multicultural celebration as outlined in the latest Brooksbank Bulletin.

As well, our recognition of 100's Day is coming up within the next week or so. We are asking students to have a collection of 100 items that can be sorted and counted. Please assist your child in starting to think about their collection. A notice will be coming out shortly with the date, and some further suggestions.

Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kam

Thursday Feb. 5 etc.

Dear Parents,

A reminder to have your kids wear a silly (if they want) but WARM sweater tomorrow.
Also, a reminder that Scholastic orders are due this FRIDAY. Please send your children with Cheques only as I am unable to send change in the mail.
Math - I have asked students to start thinking about something they could bring for 100's Day that will be happening soon. It will need to be something that is not too big, and can be grouped and counted. More info will come shortly.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Kam
