Olympics, Valentines and Book Fair Oh My!

After a very short and busy week last week, we are starting another busy week!

Last Week:
Tuesday was filled with Olympic activities in our own classroom as well as activities wihtin the whole school. We celebrated our own mini-Olympics with a torch relay, the singing of Oh Canada, and a visit from the mascots "'Snowflake' (Miss Kranabetter) and 'Ray of Light' (Mr. Klaponski). We participated in our own version of the Olympic Sports such as speed skating (on paper plates) and the luge (on rollers). Thank you to Christian's mom for our own edible gold medals!

Wednesday we also had another busy day with our Valentines Celebrations! Thank you to Gabrielle's mom for providing cupcakes! We decorated cookies made by Mrs Lemire (I do not think many of these cookies made it home !) and created a heart man craft with Mrs Olaybel's class. We also finished off the day with a popcorn sale and watching the "Madagascar 3" movie with the rest of the school in the gym! What a day!

Star of the Week:
Since we had a super short week last week we were able to finish up our Star of the Week duties with Christian! Here's what our Kindergarten class had to say about Christian:

 He is awesome!

He is super cool!

He likes to play with everyone.

He is a good friend.

He likes sharing.

Way to go Christian! This week our Star of the Week will be .... Mrs Lemire !

IMPORTANT!!! Hot Lunch last Wednesday:
Last Wednesday there was a mix up with the Hot Lunch order's as many students did not receive their lunch. Our Hot Lunch Coordinator has contacted Mavalicious Kids and will be submitting a list of all the students who did not receive their Hot Lunch. If your child did not receive their Hot Lunch please email me as soon as possible so I can send your name to our coordinator.

At the Book Fair you are able to purchase books for your child. We will not be attending the book fair as a class, so if you would like to bring your child to view the book fair please do so  on Wednesday or Thursday.

Germs Germs Germs...

We have had many students sick over the last few weeks at school. As much as the students are washing their hands we still seem to be spreading around our germs. If your child is sick, please keep them at home so we do not continue to spread sickness throughout our classroom. Thank You!!

Student Led Conferences:

We will be having Student Led Conferences on Thursday (20th) and Friday (21st) this week. If you have returned the form indicating your preferred time slot I will schedule you and send you home a time tomorrow. If you have not sent in a form I have scheduled you and your child for the Open house time 5-8pm on Thursday.

Please remember this is a time where your child will show you a variety of their work, favorite activities, and be able to teach you a few of the things they have been learning. There are a fe parent participation activities so bring your smile and busy hands!
