Just a few quick messages today!
A shout out to those parents who were able to come and drive for the Feel the Beat Concert! Thank you to Frere Ayres, Louise Lindley, Carey Martens, Cynthia Allum and Virginia Sprinkle!
We need a few volunteers for the end of year activities!
Thursday, June 16th- Boat Launch at Nicholas Sheran Park- 1 parent volunteer will be needed to transport class boats to the park (a van would be ideal!) and 1 parent volunteer to walk with the class to Nicholas Sheran
Tuesday June 21st- Grade 1 & 2 Sports Day- two parent volunteers will be needed to run stations outside- times have not yet been confirmed, but if you are interested in helping out on this day email me back and we can figure something out.
Praying Mantis Update
You may have heard from your Grade 2E student that we have Praying Mantis eggs! ...but we’re still waiting for them to hatch... Ideally, we would have liked to receive the eggs in June when we study our Bug unit, but the eggs were delivered to us early and we’ve been nurturing them since. So we’re crossing our fingers that we’ll be witnessing a birth soon!...or many births, I guess, since each egg is suppose to hold over 400!..gross right? That’s exactly what I was thinking!

Anyway, in case they decide not to show up, here is a video link of what is suppose to happen...click below!
Garage Sale!!
Just a reminder that MMH is still collecting gently used items for our Garage Sale on May 28th. If you have anything you are able to give, you can just drop it off in the school’s entry way underneath the Garage Sale bulletin board. Thanks to those people who have already donated- it looks like there will be a lot of stuff to sell!
Our parent council is in need of people from our class to sign up to help with the Garage Sale on Saturday May 28th. The time slots that are still available are 11:00 to 12:00, 1:00 to 2:00, 2:00 to 3:00, and then for clean up at 3:00. Don’t be afraid of the “Clean up”...it just means loading the excess items that did not sell into a truck, and it should go by fairly quickly!
If you are interested in filling any of those slots, please email me back as soon as possible so I can pass along the information to our school council!
WEEKEND HOMEWORK
Your students brought home a Body Length Measurement activity today! Please assist them as they choose 1 member of their family to measure! They may also choose a unit to measure in. In class, we measure in units like paper clips, snap cubes, or straws. Please help them pick an object at home to use as a unit (like maybe bookmark, shoe, fork), and help them fill out that sheet to hand in next week!
Thanks for reading! Stay dry, and have a fantastic May Long weekend!
