Just a very quick and final post to wish all our amazing children and their families a most blessed, happy and relaxing summer vacation! Best of luck to those moving onto St. Isabel or other schools - we will miss you. Also, a note of appreciation from Mme Vida, Mrs. T and Mrs. Rocco for the kind and generous gifts and cards from so many of our families. We feel very humbled by your kind words and love teaching your precious little ones!
Looking forward to a restful break and then seeing our returning children in September!

Our 2017/18 Memories - Slideshow
Please find attached the link to a little keepsake from our year together. It truly has been wonderful working with your children. We are so proud of each and every one of them! Wishing you all a safe and restful summer!
Week of June 25th
It is so hard to believe that we are in the last week of the 2017/18 school year. It has been an amazing year. On behalf of Mrs. T, Mme Vida and myself, I would like to thank you all for your support and partnership this year. They say it takes a village to raise a child and boy do we ever have a great village raising these outstanding children that are our future! We are so proud of each one of our students and are so happy with their growth this year.
This week has been emotional and bittersweet for Mrs. T and I. We are so sad to see our children moving to St. Isabel or other schools next year but know that they will fit right in. We are also sad to see our sk students move on to Grade One but are so excited for them to start their new journey. We are so happy to be keeping some of our jk students who will now be our sk leaders next year. We can't wait to see them take the lead and show the new students the ropes.
This week has been jam packed with fun. We had a great time guessing what our VIPs did for their job. We have sent the chart paper home with your children so you can have a good chuckle reading what the students thought of you. Thank you again for submitting your pictures and work descriptions. It proved to be a very fun and successful activity.
On Monday, we met our pen pals from Guardian Angels School in Stittsville via Google Hangout. Each child got to see and talk to their pen pal. It was so cute to watch them interact with each other. Next year we plan on doing it again!
On Wednesday, we will be having a PJ and Teddy Bear Day as well as a movie day. In the afternoon, the students can purchase a popsicle for $2. All funds raised will go to Christie Lake Kids.

Week of June 18th
We are all done our words and letters of the week but we will continue to do free writing and explore letters and sounds. Please continue to do so at home as well.
On Friday, we will be walking to the splash pad. If you have not sent in the permission form, please send it back by Tuesday. Let's pray for sunny skies and warm temperatures! A reminder note is coming home today.
The kids are having a blast with our VIP pictures and write ups. They get so excited when they see their parent. The students have had many great guesses as to what each parent does at work. Take a look at the pictures below!
With the warm weather predicted for this week, please ensure that your child comes to school with a refillable water bottle, appropriate clothing and a sun hat. We stay out for 40 minutes in the morning, 30 minutes at lunch and 20 minutes at the end of the day.
You will notice that your child's mailbag is full of their artwork. Please empty it daily so we can keep sending more art home!

Important Info for the Week of June 11th
These next few weeks seem to be packed with fun activities for the children so please be sure to check the blog often.
This week we are focusing on a very important person in our life...our dad! The word of the week is "dad". We do not have a letter of the week. Today during our Monday Morning Poem, we were so amazed at how many words the students could recognize/read. It was a proud moment for sure!
Please continue to practise letter recognition as well as their associated sounds.
We also had fun turning "junk" into a musical instrument. The students had a blast creating unique shakers and drums. Our next step is to start making music!! We will send the instruments home in a few days so you can listen to the music too!!!!
We received our pen pals notes from Guardian Angels School. We will read them on Wednesday and make a class book to put in our book nook.
Important dates this week:
Tuesday - soccor clinic by Ottawa Gee Gees - dress with running shoes, shorts, tshirt
Thursday - Family BBQ Night starting at 5:00 pm

Week of June 4th
Welcome June! Today we had a chance to get some fresh air despite the torrential down pour this afternoon. With the dark skies, it made for an extra dark classroom during quiet time. As a result, many students fell fast asleep! It was very peaceful!!!
Our letter of the week is "f" and our word of the week is "of". Please continue to work on letter recognition and sounds with your child. It is greatly beneficial for them.
Today was our last time visiting the learning commons for the year. Please ensure that the library books come back to school by next Monday as Mrs. Baker is trying to get everything in order to close up for the summer.
Reminders:
