Thanks to our parent drivers who were able to help out with swimming! Thanks to Amber Toone, Virginia Sprinkle, Louise Lindley, Frere Ayres, Sonny Zgurski, and Rick Goldhawk! The students had a blast and it’s always nice when we can get outside of the school for some fun. Our Boat Launch is on Thursday, June 16th. We will leave the school at 8:45, and walk over to Nicholas Sheran (return to the school around 1:30-1:45). Thanks to Rhonda Steed who is transporting our boats for us, and Sonny Zgurski and Rickele Knox who are going to walk over with us. I sent this information on a note home but just to remind you:
Children should be dressed for the weather (don’t forget sunscreen, hats and bug spray). As with swim day, students should come to school with their bathing suits on underneath their clothes carrying undergarments and towels in a plastic bag. Children’s backpacks should contain a substantial snack, water and a second pair of shoes suitable for water (such as flip flops). Because the children will be wading into the lake, water shoes are a necessity as in the past we have found broken glass or sharp objects in the lake. For the day, students should wear good walking shoes - sandals and wearing flip flops to walk to the park is discouraged. After the Boat Launch we will be walking over to the Spray Park for lunch and more water fun.
Speaking of boat building....How is boat building coming along?!?! If your Grade 2 student is stuck for ideas, water bottles, milk jugs, pop bottles, old pool noodles, and plastic piping are all great materials to start your boat. Please email me if you have any questions. When your student is done building their boat, please have them bring it to school ANY TIME THIS WEEK, as I would like the class to test their boats before the boat launch.
Your students will be bringing a number of things home in the next few weeks, to lessen the load at the end of the year. Things like: desk book work, head phones, rules, health mobiles, and work from the last month. This past week I sent home their letters that we received from NOVA SCOTIA! Thank goodness they came, as I was a bit worried with the postal strike. Students were SO excited to read their letters, and it was very neat to learn a bit about Digby, Nova Scotia.
I’ve had a few students complete their first Reading At Home sheet, and are on to their second! Please continue with daily reading and get your students to bring in their sheets! Our calendar is getting smaller and smaller L Don’t forget about the last few big days in Grade 2!
Thanks for all you do J
Have a great weekend!
