What's New in One and Two? April 28 - May 2, 2014

GOODBYE MS. HOSEGOOD
This will be Ms. Hosegood, our student teacher's, last week in our classroom.  We will really miss her and wish her the best at her summer job and at school next year.  She has taught us so much and has been a big help in our classroom.  If you have a chance this week, please make sure to say good-bye.

UPCOMING FIELDTRIPS  
We have two upcoming field trips for our class.  The first is on Wednesday, May 21 in the morning where we will going to the Manitoba Museum.  The second will be on Tuesday, June 17 all day where we will be going to Oak Hammock Marsh.

The permission slips will come out a couple of weeks before the actual trip dates but I thought that I would give the parents some notice in case you would like to come along and need time to book off of work or make other arrangements.  We will need drivers so I hope to see some of you then.

SOCIAL STUDIES 
We are continuing our study about mapping and started creating our own islands last week.  After MUCH, MUCH glue, the first step is complete and we will be painting our topographical maps this week.  Here are a few pictures of step one.

THE EASTER STORY 
We also traced and cut out our hands to make illustrations for our Easter Story books this week.

WHAT'S NEW?
We have a new grade one student in our class.  His name is Owen and he is starting on Monday.  He also has a sister in grade five who will be joining our school on Monday too.  Welcome!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
We had two birthdays these past few weeks to celebrate.  Owen on March 27th and Emma on April 2.

HAPPY EASTER
Remember that on Good Friday (April 18) and Easter Monday (April 21) there is NO SCHOOL.

SPLISH SPLASH
We have a lot of water out on the playgrounds at this time of year.  It is lots of fun to play in but also very splashy.  Please send extra clothes to school for your child to change into, especially dry socks.

DAY OF PINK (and other assorted colours)
