REPORT CARDS
Your child should have brought home their report cards last Friday.  Please keep the actual report card, then sign and return the empty envelope to school.  We will re-use them next term and save a few trees!  Your child will be sharing some of their work from this first term with you during the conference.  We are encouraging the students to take more ownership of their own leaning and giving them a chance to share and tell you what we have been working on in class.  They are very excited to show you their portfolios.  If, after the conferences, you still wanted to speak to me privately, we can certainly set up another day and time to meet and talk.  Looking forward to seeing all of you soon!

SENSES
We have finished up our science unit about the senses and are starting our next unit which is all about the SEASONS.  We had a young lady from the University of Manitoba's WISE program come out last week to give us a presentation about the senses and do some fun activities with us.  WISE is "Women in Science and Engineering".  They are working to encourage kids (especially girls) to get interested in science and engineering.
