Our Class Party

Tomorrow we will have an end of the year party. Feel free to send a treat to share with the class. We will play board games. The children may bring toys from home as long as they are not violent toys. They may also bring water guns and bubble blowers as we will go outside at some point for some outdoor fun.

I hope everyone has a wonderful vacation. For the parents of seniors, it's been a pleasure teaching your children. For the parents of juniors, I look forward to continuing to teach your children next year.

Have a safe and fun summer!

I'll see you in September!

It's Friday!

Today some children are bring home shadow boxes and sculptures they made in our box craft activity. The kids are really proud of what they made and the rest are eager for their turn.

Next Tuesday, on the last day of school, we will have a class party. Feel free to send in treats for the kids to share. We will play games and celebrate our last day together.

a bit about our day

Today, we are continuing to learn the poem My Wiggly Tooth. I am hoping we can preform it at the Great Golden Bear Assembly. I am piloting an English Language Learner Math Assessment and I will be administering a portion of that today to one student. Then, I will be continuing with the box crafts. So far, we have made scrapbooks, a basket and sculpture. Each child is making a different thing depending on the types of boxes I have. Thank you to the parents who are sending in boxes. The morning class has library. The afternoon class has physical education.

I've been reading a book called The Book of Awesome. It's derived from a blog and each page or few pages is about a different thing that is awesome. My favourite that I read yesterday was a two sentence chapter. It said (and this is not a direct quote): High Fiving babies is awesome. They never leave you hanging. So true - and they get such joy out of it, it's infectious. High Five a baby today.

a little help

To end the year off, we are going to take on a big art project. We are going to use boxes ro make things, like Little Box Safari, Camera, Vacation Box, Fun on the Farm, Piggy Bank, etc.....

We need you to help collect and send in various boxes of all sizes. Before you recycle it, put it aside for us. Your child will bring home something adorable.

Field Trip

Tomorrow is our field trip to Forrest Valley and I have not received many permission forms. I cannot bring your child on the trip without permission. If you do not want your child to have this experience, please return the form indicating that your child does not have permission so I can be prepared.

Thanks,
Miss Mynes

a bit about our day

Today, we continue our theme of sports. We will be working in our Math folders. Everyone is working on something different, depending on their needs and strengths. The morning class has gym where we will be working on body awareness. Sadly, I am absent yet again this afternoon with a meeting about next years all day learning program. For the parents of the juniors, I will be much better informed about the changes coming for next year.

The Field trip on Friday was a surprise and I apologize for the short notice. Please send in your permission form as soon as possible and the $1.50 fee. I will provide a snack while we are on the hike. I do need parent volunteers. The trip is a half day, during school hours, so don't worry that it will mess up your child-care arrangements.

This weeks theme is sports. Today, we will be writing in our writing folders/journals. The morning class has gym and the afternoon class has library.
