Unfortunately I cannot get the lines to appear properly, but at least you will get to see a version of the assignment before I hand it out tomorrow.  It might also help those students who forget to bring their handout home on a given night.

There will be no Spelling this week.  Instead of Spelling you will do one Health activity each night.

Recognize the importance of clean air and water for everyday life.

You are going to participate in a poster contest for Arbor Day.  Your poster should be completed on the blank piece of paper attached to this sheet.  Make sure your poster is colorful.

Think about the benefits of trees that we discussed today.  Mom or Dad can also help you look on the special website for more information.  Please find the poster contest details and website information attached.  It took me a while to find the benefits of trees using the homepage address so this link will take you right where you need to go:  http://www.treecanada.ca/publications/trivia.htm

St. John's Recycling

Well today history was made for many people in the East End of St. John's.  I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the blue bags of recycling on my street this morning!  At Mary Queen of Peace we recycle on a regular basis.  We recycle juice containers and our paper.  As a teacher I am trying to do my part by double siding my photocopying more regularly.  I also like to remind my students to use up all the space in their exercise books before they begin a new page.  Part of our Health program this year involves learning about the 3 R's (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle).  If you have a chance please talk to your child about the importance of recycling.  It is their planet and they are our future!  Have a look at the photo of my recycling below. As for what was happening in our class today... the friendly letters were continued.  Many thanks to the parents who have already supplied mailing addresses. Math today was a little rough.  The students are learning how to effectively commu

Our Plays

By Anonymous -
Today we officially unveiled our plays to some wonderful audiences.  We began our day by presenting to Ms. White's class as well as Ms. Harris, Mme. Collett and Ms. Cleary.  The students also performed for their Kindergarten buddy readers and this afternoon they will perform once more for Mr. Yetman's class. Tomorrow I will be videotaping the students as they present their plays.  I plan on creating two cd's so that one boy and one girl can take home the video each night.  It should take about ten school nights before everyone at home sees the great work!  I am sure all parents are excited to see how the plays turned out. Many thanks to the parents who sent in props for our play.  A big thank you to all the parents who ran lines with their child in preparation for today's performance.
