Hi everyone!

I thought it would be best to blog today so that you’re ready for the upcoming weeks.  I hope you had a fabulous family break!  The 100^th day / Valentine’s craziness was sure fun, and the kids had a blast going through the different centers! Here’s some pictures from that day:

 

We have a field trip coming up! To be honest this one kind of snuck up on me, as we were waiting for confirmation of times.  We are going to Home Hardware on the West side! This is an awesome field trip put on by the wonderful staff of the store. It goes along with our Building Things unit in Science, and the students will be taken around to different centers of the store.  This field trip will be on Tuesday March 4^th, from 2:05-3:05.  We need 4-5 drivers to help get us there! If you are available that afternoon, please let me know asap and I will sign you up! Because this field trip goes right until 3:05, we will be a few minutes late getting back to MMH. 

 

March is the time for another reporting period, as well as what we call Celebrations of Learning.  This year, Celebrations of Learning will be throughout the entire school.  On Thursday, March 13^th from 5:30-7:30, you’ll be asked to sign up for a time slot to come and see your child’s Grade 1 work. This is not a parent/ teacher interview, but more of an ‘open house’ in which your Grade 1 student will have work to share.  That’s why it’s called a Celebration of Learning!  March Report cards will be sent home on Friday, March 14^th. 

If after the Celebration of Learning and reading the report card, you would still prefer a more traditional 20 minute parent teacher interview, please let me know and we can arrange for that on Friday March 21^st.  Information on how to sign up for a time slot for Celebrations of Learning using an online system called Conference Manager will be sent home closer to the date. 

Don’t forget to check out the important March dates!

I’m excited to see the kids tomorrow!  Have a good day!
