What an awesome day! Our classroom placed first in the "Every Drop Counts Campaign" that was run by the grade 3's. We raised a whopping $450 to donate to Wheels for Wells to build wells that will help supply clean drinking water to those most in need. Here are some facts about the water projects that Wheels for Wells (http://www.wheelsforwells.ca/) have begun: The water projects help provide children and families in poverty with access to clean water through endeavors such as:
We wrapped up our superhero writing today and tomorrow we begin typing our stories that will go along with our artwork to make a book. Check out some of our superheroes below. Students also got an opportunity to play four-way capture the flag with Ms. Maher and Mrs. Deibert's class today. It was lots of fun and lots of running! Ask your child how to play. We then enjoyed some time outside playing outdoor games like four square on the compound. For math we continued to focus on adding numbers with decimals. Using all the money we collected for the Wheels for Wells cause, students looked at how to add bills first, moving into small change.
Yearbooks have Arrived Our yearbooks celebrating our first year together have arrived. Students who ordered yearbooks will be bringing them home today – so check those backpacks. We have a limited supply of yearbooks available for purchase in the office for $25 if you didn’t order one and have changed your mind. We're leaving it up to parents if they want their child to have an opportunity to gather signatures or messages from their classmates on the two blank inside covers. If you want your child to gather signatures and autographs please return the yearbook to school on Friday, June 23 and teachers will find some time to make it happen. Students without yearbooks may bring a notebook or will use a page in their Visual Journals for the same purpose. Reminders: June 26 - Sports Day June 28 - Last Day of School (early dismissal)
