Full Day Science Field Trip to Kortright Centre on June 14th

The grade 1/2 students from rooms #5 and #6 will be going on a full day field trip (9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m) to the Kortright Centre on Friday, June 14th.
Three parent volunteers who are interested in supervising and being responsible for a small group of 4 to 5 children will be invited to join each class on this outing. Volunteers will be selected on a first come, first serve basis upon receiving the returned permission forms from the students. The cost of this trip will be $20.00 per student.

Permission forms, along with more detailed information regarding this outing will be coming home some time in the next week or two.
Looking forward to an exciting day learning about the "characteristics and needs of living things" and "pond life".

Sincerely,

Ms. Janice Bednarz

It's Time for a Watch! (and Calendar)

Dear Parents,
Due to the fact that the students in Room#6 are working hard on learning how to tell time and the passage of time, it would be a good time for students to get and use a calendar and an analog watch (with hands) meaningfully at home and in their daily life. There are usually various types of calendars available at most dollar stores and decent watches (with big and clear numbers) can be found for as low as $10.00 at places like Walmart Shopper's Drugmart or Canadian Tire. Although getting either of these items is not manditory, they would likely help motivate students to use and practise these useful life skills on a regular basis.

Also, please encourage your child to also practise some of the time related links available on this blog. Doing so will also help to strengthen and/or solidify your child's understanding of time.

Sincerely,
Ms. J. Bednarz
