Hi all!

Hope you all had a wonderful weekend!

1. Last Thursday's parent and teacher (that was cancelled) is now this Thursday. The same times as last week. If you would like to have an interview before that, or that time does not work for you this week, please let me know and we can work something out.

2. I sent home some sheets that the children have accumulated since school started in their homework bag. Please take them out, and do as you wish with them.

3. Just a friendly reminder that clothing orders for the school are due tomorrow. :)

4. We are finishing up small moments writing this week. The children have done a wonderful job, and the next unit of writing we are going to work on is narrative.

5. In math, we are working on representing numbers up to 100, place value, and fact families.

6. In Reader's Workshop, we are continuing to work on making connections, and self monitoring. If you could ask your children if they can make a connection to something they read today (each night), and have them discuss it with you, that would be lovely.

7. In word work, for this week, we are going to be working on the Magic E, and how it magically changes the vowel sound. This is a review from last year, and are doing it before we go into vowel teams.

Thanks and have a beautiful week!

The current weather forecast indicates that there is a blowing snow advisory in effect for all of PEI, with winds expected to increase between 6 and 7 PM.   This is expected to result in poor visibility and hazardous travel conditions.

 

As a result of the above:

1)  All After School Student Related Activities are canceled for this evening.

2)  In consultation with the Department of Education, all Parent Teacher Interviews schedule for this evening are to be postponed for one week to next Thursday, November 29.  Parents who have interviews this evening, will have the same scheduled time next Thursday.

 

If Provincial government offices are closed in any area of the Province tomorrow parent teacher interviews will be canceled.  Your child's teacher will contact you to reschedule your Friday appointment.

 

If Provincial government offices announce a delay in opening in the Charlottetown area tomorrow, interviews that occur after the delay will proceed as usual.  Parents who may have interviews during the delayed time will be contacted by your child's teacher to reschedule your appointment. 

 

We are sorry for any inconvenience.

 

All the best,

Hi all!

Just a few notes:

1. Please don't forget to sign up for parent teacher interviews this week. If you are having trouble send me an email and we will book you a time.

2. You may want to send an extra pair or two of socks with your children. A lot have been saying their feet are soaked, so a nice fresh pair would be great!

3. We are going to the Book Fair tomorrow, Wednesday, November 21, at 9:00. If you would like to send money for your child to get a book during this time please just set it in their homework bags.

4. I look forward to seeing you all this week to discuss your child's progress!

Tomorrow is PJ Day! Don't forget your PJ's! :)

Thank you everyone for making sure your child has the proper clothing and footwear for outside. It is getting chillier and chillier and I appreciate the support.

If you haven't signed up for parent teacher interviews, don't forget to do it online. If you lost instructions on how to do it, just send me an email and I can send another sheet home!

I hope everyone has  a lovely weekend!

Hi all,

I hope you had a great long weekend.
Here are some notes for the week:

1. Book orders are due Wednesday, November 14. I will be placing the order that evening.

2. Friday, November 16 is PJ day school wide! Make sure your children do not forget their PJ's.

3. It is getting colder out, and with the forecast, I would like to make sure that children are dressed appropriately for outside. Hats, mitts, splash pants (it's quite muddy out there by times), scarves, jackets, etc...

That's all for now, if there is anything more tomorrow, I will post again!

Hi Folks,

Here are our notes for the week:

1. There will be no school on Thursday, November 8, and Friday, November 9 due to the Annual Convention.

2. There is also no school Monday, November 12, due to Remembrance Day.

3.On Line Parent Teacher Interviews
Parents will be able to access our online registration from November 5 – November 21.  If you have booked a time online, and it does not work for you later on, it can not be changed on the site. You may contact me, and we will figure out another time that works.

4. Book orders are being sent home today. They are due back Wednesday, November 14.

5. Since this is a short week, we are continuing to work on the same words this week. 

6. For homework this week I am sending home two reading comprehension sheets instead of reading books. Your child can read the story and answer the questions independently. If you are noticing your child is struggling with the reading, you can read the story and questions to the child. Thanks!

7. Home and School is doing a catalogue fundraiser which was sent home Friday. This fundraiser has tremendous potential, with upwards of 48% of sales staying with the school. Here is a link to the product being sold http://www.dfscanada.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/New-Version-Book-1-Joy-%E2%80%93-48-pages.pdf.

8. This is where you can find November's Newsletter:
