Today

Today we began out fruits and vegetables theme with a riddle about carrots. I was pleased to see someone bring a fruit for snack this morning. Both classes are working in their writing folders today. Many of the students are making great progress and have moved from lines to letters and some from letters to journals. The morning class did parachute activities in the gym and the afternoon class is at library as we speak.

next week

Our theme next week is fruits and vegetables. We will be doing riddles about them, reading books about them, doing activities with them. May I encourage you to make your child's snack this week with fruits and vegetables.

Have a great weekend,

Thursday!

Today, we began our next math unit, which is about area. I am sending home a sheet for you with ideas of things you can do at home to reinforce this unit.

The Dance-a-thon money is due tomorrow. Thank you to those of you who fund raised. I know the school has been fundraising a lot this year, which can be taxing to your bank account. I apologize for that. Rest assured, I will not be initiating any more fundraisers this year in order to cut down on the requests for money but I will keep you updated on fundraisers run by parent council, Mrs. Lee and my colleagues.

a little about today

Today, we continue our community helpers unit (our riddle today was about fire fighters). We had a lesson and activity about joining in (1. Stand near 2. Look 3. Ask). The morning class did some circle games in gym and the afternoon class is at library right now.

For those of you who are fundraising for the Move-a-thon, send in your pledge sheets and money as soon as you can. We use the money to pay for things like special presentations and events in the school.

Have a great day,
See you all tomorrow,
Miss Mynes

Long Weekend

Hello everyone,

Just a reminder that tomorrow is our class Valentine's/100's Day party. Feel free to send on some treats for your child to share with the class. We will also be having the Dance-a-thon - for many the highlight of the year.

Also, don't forget that Monday is the Family Day holiday. Enjoy some fun with your family!

Have a great, sunny day.
:)

Dance-a-thon

The Dance-a-thon is on Friday. Thank you to those of you who are fundraising. This is the most important fundraiser of the year. The money goes to bringing in special presentations for the school and other things like that. An example is the Dufflebag Theater who preformed Beauty and the Beast this year. They are amazing and worth every penny.

Thank you for your support,
Miss Mynes

up and coming

This weeks theme is 100s Day! We will have been in school for 100 days. To celebrate this, we will be having a combined Valentine's and 100s Day party on Friday. At the party, we will create a collection of 100 heart candies each so we can see what 100 looks like. We will also exchange Valentine's cards, play games and have lots of fun. I know some of you would like a list of students names. I have updated my previous list on the blog.

Today, the Earth Rangers will be visiting our school. They are bringing live animals! It should be a great presentation.

Have a great day. I'm sure we will.

today and beyond

Today, we ended our habitat unit. Next week, is the 100s day unit as we get to our 100th day of school. We are also preparing our "handy rules" for our measurement lesson on Tuesday.

For your information, I will be absent on Monday. My mom is having her knee replaced and I want to be there to help her get to the hospital and settle her in. Then my dad and I can keep each other company during the surgery. I will be back on Tuesday for sure.

Have a great weekend!

I'll see you on Tuesday.

our day today

Our theme this week is habitats (today's riddle is about the desert). We will be doing paint blot art. The morning class has library, the afternoon class has gym where they will work on making circles, lines and finding a partner.

Tomorrow, I will be absent as I have several appointments.

Thursday and Friday will be a fundraising bake sale for Haiti. Feel free to send your child with a small amount of money to buy themselves a treat. I suggest 50 cents or $1.

Have a good day,
Miss Mynes
