Happy first week of school! 

A few important reminders for back to school:
  • Please ensure that you check the blog every Friday as this will be the main form of communication regarding student activities during the school day and upcoming events. 
  • Please also read through the Northern Lights News every Friday - found on the school website here.
  • Personal Mobile Devices and Social Media Use in Our School - K - 9 students will not be permitted to use personal mobile devices during the school day. Student devices brought to school must be out of sight and either powered off or set to silent. They should be left in backpacks, lockers or areas designated by teachers or better yet - simply left at home.
Here is what we have been up to this week:
We completed some challenges with our table groups to get to know each other. 
 


We came up with the Treatment Agreement. Please ask your child about this. 


We read 'A Letter from your Teacher on the First Day of School' and we wrote a letter to our teacher, Ms. Vashi, about things we want to share with her. 

 


Have a great long weekend!

Hello everyone, Important reminders: May 1st (next Thursday) is PJ Day for 4B! The students showed effort, perseverance and kindness to earn hearts for our class jar. They got to vote between three options and chose PJ Day . Students will be allowed to bring 1 stuffy on this day. As long as their stuffy does not interfere with their or someone else's learning, students can have their stuffies on their desks. Please email me if you are able to volunteer for our upcoming field trip in May. Our class is looking for two more volunteers!

Hello 4B Families! Important reminders: Our Family Math Night has been cancelled, as schools are not able to host evening events due to the CUPE Local 40 strike. If plans are made in the future to reschedule, we will communicate details at that time. Thanks for your understanding! Next week, the weather is supposed to be warmer. This will mean that the playground will be slushy and muddy. Please help your child dress in footwear that will keep their feet dry. Running shoes are not the safest or best choice for playing outside in this type of weather. All students (from K-5) should always keep a change of clothes in their backpacks that they can change into if they get wet or muddy. This includes socks, pants, shirts and underwear. Having clothes to change into will ensure they are comfortable and that they classroom is staying clean. Here is what we have been up to this week: Literacy Stations - Below is the success criteria and expectations for our literacy stations. We had a convers...

Hello everyone, I have the BEST students :) Here is what we have been up to up this week: Writing - We are learning about procedural writing. We practiced writing instructions on our whiteboards about simple things (how to tie your shoelaces, how to build a fort, how to do long division). We then practiced writing in our writing journal.                      Gratitude - We wrote about what makes us smile :) Science - We are learning about static electricity. Ask your child about this! Math - We started learning about long division. We will continue practicing next week. We took a short break from it to learn about collecting data and graphing. As we are moving towards more complex math concepts, it is really important to be fluent with your multiplication facts.          Have a wonderful weekend! Stay warm! Important Dates January 27 - Report Cards for K-5 available online within your MyCBE parent account. (...
