a few things...

The brand new J.G. Workman P.S. reusable water bottles are here!  They are stainless steel and have the new school logo on them.  Order yours today for $10!

Tomorrow is Smoothie Day in support of the grade 8 graduation.  For $1 your child can buy a smoothie.  Orders are taken in advance so send in your order form today.

Next week, I will be at Camp Wahanawin with the grade 8 class.  Mr. Vlahos has booked an occasional teacher for me but I do not know who it is.  I love going to camp with the grade 8s (this years grade 8s were my first kindergarten class) but I hate leaving my class for 4 days.  Please be patient with the occasional teacher as things rarely go smoothly when I am absent or at least they are different.  Mr. Pate will be here so seek him out if you have any questions or information to share next week.

Enjoy this wonderful taste of summer today!

a little about today

Today, the students have physical education with Mr. Kirsi and Mr. pate.  We will also go to the library to get new library books.  In the classroom, we will be playing a board game that strengthens both science and math skills.  It is called Follow the CCaterpillar and it takes the children through the life cycle of a butterfly.

Have a great day,
Miss  Mynes

butterfly week

Today, we are going to learn to make symmetrical butterflies and write rhyming words from Lois Ehlert's Waiting for Wings on the wings.  In the afternoon we will play a game called Number Race.  This fun game allows children to practice writing numbers.  The children will be seeing Mr. Kirsi for physical education.
