Congratulations

Congrats to our November Principal's Award Winners.

This month Paige, Polina, and Amy won the award for doing an excellent job on their Barbara Reid inspired artwork. 

They all tried their very best and I am so proud of them.  Their work will be displayed in the library, along with their classmates for the next week or so.  Their picture will also be at the office for the next month.

Congratulations again girls. 

A Busy Week

Hello Everyone,

Here is a quick overview of the important things happening this week.

Parent Teacher interviews are Wednesday and Thursday night.  If you did not receive your appointment time from your child please call the school to schedule a time (786-5510). 

Friday will be Green Day for our school's spirit day this month.  The students and teachers are wearing green to cheer on the Saskatchewan Rough Riders in the Grey Cup. 

I will be sending home permission forms this week for our Christmas field trip.  We will be going to the Yorkton Western Development Museum for their Christmas Past program.  This program connects with our ELA outcomes for our Celebrations and Traditions Unit as well as with our Social outcomes for the year. 
If you are interested in volunteering as a supervisor for this field trip please notify me on your child's permission form. 

Have a great week everyone. 

Amazing Day

Hello Everyone,
Welcome back after our long weekend. 

We had an amazing day today.  The kids were terrific.  They behaved wonderfully and worked incredibly hard.  I was so proud of them, especially since it can be hard to get back on track after an absence like that. 

We had a special treat today.  The kindergarten students came over to buddy read with us.  It was absolutely fantastic.  The kindergartens were so attentive and the grade 2's were not only wonderful readers and teachers for the younger students but they were also amazing role models.  Just another reason for me to be proud of them today. 

I thought you would enjoy a few photos of our reading buddy time. 

Our Classroom This Week

Important Announcement:
- there is no school on Friday, Nov. 8 and Monday, Nov. 11.

We have been studying animals in both English and Science.   As part of that, we watched some of the amazing live footage of animals in both natural and artificial environments.  The students asked me to put up the link to the website.  It is www.explore.org. 

In math we are still working on our 0 to 100 unit.  We have been working on skip-counting this week.   I added some great videos we found onto the favourite link section of this blog.

Principal's Award and Cougar of the Month Awards

Our Principal's Award Winners this month are Promise and Andrew.


Promise won for the excellent job that she did on her social assignment about members of our community who help others.

Andrew won for the excellent job that he is doing on our Math Unit (on understanding numbers from 0 to 100). 

We also had an additional award this month.   Hayley was awarded the Cougar of the Month award this month for her constant efforts to be a respectful, diligent, and kind person. She always follows instructions and the rules.   She is always kind to the kids in her class and includes everyone.
She always works hard to do her absolute best. Hayley is a great role model for both student and adults. 

Congratulations to all of our award winners.

Happy Halloween

Hi Everyone,

I am a teensy bit late with the Halloween Blog Entry.  My apologies.

We had a great time yesterday.  Together we read some Halloween books with Mrs. Gallagher,
carved two pumpkins, did some fun math activities,
played Halloween Bingo with Mrs. Maloney, watched a short film, participated in the Halloween parade, and made ourselves some healthy Halloween snacks (pumpkins made out of oranges, ghosts made out of bananas, and roasted pumpkin seeds).  We finished off the afternoon with a dance party. 


Thank you to all of the families that sent goodies for the children.  That was very generous of you. 

I also shared some news with the students... that we had an extra party goer in the classroom...an invisible one. No, it wasn't a ghost.  I am expecting my first child in early April.  My hopes are to remain at work until after the second term report cards and for you and the children to meet the new teacher at parent-teacher interviews in March. 

I hope everyone had a safe and happy Halloween.  On to November :).
