Coming Up: Inline Skating in the Gym!
We're excited to let you know that Alien Inline Skating will be starting a residency in our gymnasium for Grades 3, 4 and EES students starting Wednesday, October 1st.  This is a fantastic opportunity for students to build confidence, coordination, and have a ton of fun while learning to inline skate.
A few important notes for skating days:
  • Students are encouraged to bring a CSA-approved helmet (bike helmets are best).  I will post the schedule so you know what days to bring in helmets. 
  • Please do not send full-face helmets, football helmets, or hockey helmets.
  • If your child does not have a helmet, one will be provided for them.
Since the gym will be used for skating, all PE classes will continue to be held outdoors next week, weather permitting. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather and ready to move!


Finish Up:

- World and North America Maps

- Graphing worksheet

  Welcome Back to School! We are all so excited to be back at school! We have had a super week and a half so far and look forward to a great year ahead of us.  Some notes for this year: We will have library every Thursday as our schedule allows. Please make sure library books are kept in a safe place and returned when you are finished with them. Please do not bring toys or devices to school unless absolutely necessary. We would not like anything to get lost or stolen and they can sometimes be a distraction to our learning.  We don't send a lot of homework home, but if students do not finish something, it will be sent home with them at the end of the week to be completed at home. Check the blog for any notifications of finish up work. Students are asked to be reading 20 minutes a night and practice their basic math facts as much as possible.  This Week: - we had a great week coming back and getting to know each other! We are learning each other's names and have t...
