Digital Parenting

There is a great workshop coming up in November dealing with Parenting in the Digital age. The information has been sent home. Please take time to check out the workshops. They are excellent and offer many tips about everything from Facebook and your child, to online homework help.

Vote Analysis

Looking at the graph (on the right) where students went home and voted...it looks like Arts and Gym won as the favourite subjects! We will have to keep doing lots of neat artistic activities this year and have fun working out in gym.

Parent Info Night

Thanks to all of you who came out to our parent information evening. If you did not attend, and wish to have copies of the 3 handouts, please right a note in the agenda and I will send them home. I am looking forward to a great year....and looking forward to getting our Smartboard, which is supposed to be installed shortly.

First Day

Welcome back!! We had a successful first day of school in our Grade 4/5 class. Please take time to look through the wealth of information that was sent home with your child. Fill in the sheets 'learning about your child' that are included in the orange homework duotang and return by Friday. Sign, fix and return the information sheets a regarding your address and phone numbers. Thanks!

School Supplies: Welcome Back!

Hello! Welcome back to our new school year! This year, our class will be a Split Grade 4/5. We are also lucky enough to be granted a SMARTboard to use daily in our classroom. It will make learning even more fun and interactive. Please check this class site weekly for updates and websites.

Note to parents: Please don't run out and buy lots of school supplies. All your child really needs for school is a good pair of scissors, pencils, an eraser, a ruler and a set of pencil crayons. That's ALL. A Kleenex box and 4 tennis balls for the chairs are always appreciated too. Thanks!

Parents: Did You Know? Neat video about technology...and outdated already!
