What a wonderful morning spent with all the Moms and Grandmas during our Mother's Day Tea! There were lots of laughs, a few tears and beautiful singing from all of your children. Thank you for coming and letting your child honour you - God bless all Moms!

Field Trip Update

Thanks for sending in all the permission forms and money. I will be drawing names for the parents chaperones as we had a lot of parents willing to help out. I will email the parent chaperones by Monday.

I have been teaching the students three of Will Stroet's songs 1. Full of Beans  2. Bike Safety Boogie 3. I'm Gonna Walk. Check out Will's videos on his website at http://willmusic.ca/videos/ 

Malaria Fundraising

Three intermediate students are fundraising for mosquito nets for children in Africa. These students came to our class and explained what malaria is and how African children are suffering from it. On Monday, these students will be selling ice cream for $2 during lunch recess. If you would like your child to purchase ice cream, please send in $2 in their homework folder. 

Friday, May 16th & Monday, May 20th

Reminder there is no school on these dates

Mother's Day Tea - location change

Our Mother's day tea will now be in the Columbus/Cenacle room which is in the Parish center (on the left as you walk in).  Babysitting will be in the Bushey room (right beside the Columbus/Cenacle room) with Miss Easterbrook. 

CCS Talent Show

If your child is interested in participating in the CCS Talent Show in June, please contact me by email. Their routine must be under 1 minute long and have the accompanying music/props with them when they show Mrs. Lemire/Mrs. Lewis their routine. If you have any questions about the CCS Talent Show, please ask!

May 5 - 9th

Please send your child prepared for the changing spring weather. As the weather becomes nicer, we will be doing our 20 mins of  DPA (daily physical activity) outside. With the heat last week, students should be coming to school with a hat, sunscreen (left in their backpack), sunglasses and an extra drink. I will be encouraging students to drink water continually throughout the day and to remove their school vest/sweater if they feel hot. Alternatively, when the weather changes to rain, please make sure your child comes to school with a hooded jacket and rain boots. They can change into their school shoes when they arrive in the classroom.

Snack & lunch: During snack time, I've noticed that most students usually eat 1-2 (ie fruit, granola bar) of their snacks and then at lunch, they end up only having a sandwich and a drink. Please be aware that your child's appetite is continually growing and I would suggest to everyone to pack 1-2 additional healthy snacks/drinks.

I am a Gift from God program - on the days that your child has homework on their booklet (Wed/Fri), I will be sending out an email to all the parents after school. I will also post it on the blog but sometimes there is a delay and some parents are not receiving the emails in time. Please remind your child to complete only the page that has been indicated in the email - Mrs. Lemire and I appreciate your help with this.

Math - students will be learning about money (names of coins, quantities) as well as an introduction to measurement

Language Arts - students will continue to recognize pre-primer sight words, turtle talking to print words in their drawing/journal, identifying rhyming words
