I sent home a revised Special Helper list for the month of April today. My apologies but on the original list I sent home I did not account for the Easter long weekend.
A reminder that this Thursday is a half day. Students will be dismissed for the day at 12:30pm.
Tuesdays and Fridays are PE days and we will be starting gymnastics this week. Students will be in bare feet, but please ensure that he/she is wearing proper/comfortable clothing on these days. Thank you for your cooperation.
Don't forget to do your home reading every night. It is encouraged to take the same book home several nights in a row to practice fluency, especially at the higher levels. Please also ensure that your child brings his/her home reading book back to school everyday.
Please practice basic math facts on a regular basis.
Have a great evening!

Dear Parents/Guardians,
I just wanted to remind everyone that next Thursday (April 5th) is an early closure day. We will be dismissing students at 12:30 pm on that day which is also the beginning of the Easter long weekend. I will be contacting parents individually if I feel there is a need for us to meet.
At this time it is still unclear if we will be sending out second term report cards, however I will be sending home an informal report on your child's progress to date. This will be sent home in the next couple of weeks. I apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your continued patience.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
Mrs. L. Galloway

Dear Parents and Guardians,
I want to start off by thanking everyone for their continued patience during this time of teacher job action. I know this week has been very disruptive for many of you and your support is greatly appreciated. Due to the short week, we will not be doing spelling this week.
I will be teaching new sight words tomorrow. They are as follows:
Grade 1: swim, run, fly, what
Grade 2: star, whale, shark
Due to the uncertainty of future job action at this time, I have decided to double up some of the special helper days. In other words, if your child missed his/her special helper day due to missed school, he/she will still get to showcase his/her show and tell item to the class and will share the responsibilities with another member of the class. I hope this make sense.
Have a fantastic evening!
