HAPPY EASTER! WELCOME BACK!
EASTER PARTY
We are having our class Easter party on Friday, April 5 at 1:00 pm. The snack parents for this party are – Kaelan, Mafalda, Maya, and Nate.
HOME-READING
Please return the yellow reading log for March. Instead of using reading logs, we are going to be using a READING BINGO sheet/booklet from now until the end of the year. They can read these books at home and at school. There are 16 different squares on the bingo card and each one has a different genre listed. Once the students have read the book, there is a short “This book was about …”, written part to complete at school. Next, they have to show their reading bingo booklet to me (and maybe answer a few questions about the book). Afterwards, they can colour in the Bingo square. When they have completed a row on the Bingo card – they can collect a small prize. The goal is to try reading different types of books – but remember … THE BOOKS NEED TO BE AT THE APPROPRIATE READING LEVEL! Rushing through 16 really easy books will not count for Reading Bingo. I am sending home a copy of the bingo sheet so you know what types of books they need to be reading (yellow sheet). You can keep this copy at home.
COUNTRY WEEK
We traveled to many different activities from France during the last week before Spring Break. The students had lots of fun, especially during the evening Family Fun Night. Thanks to the PIP and all of the parents who helped out. We are starting back on our OWL research projects this week.

HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY
We built leprechaun traps on Friday so … on Monday we’ll be checking to see if we caught anything over the weekend. If they remember, the children can wear something green on Monday.
A VISIT TO FRANCE
This week we will be travelling from classroom to classroom to experience the country of France. Each afternoon (except Wednesday which is our field trip day) the class will be working with various teachers on dancing, geography, art, landmarks, language, food and sports from France. Each student has a passport to be stamped as they visit each station. The PIP has arranged a “Family Night” to go along with our French country week. This will be held on Thursday evening at 6:15 to 7:45. Please come out and join in the fun! There is a dinner available beforehand that you need to sign-up for with the PIP (5:30 to 6:00).
MTYP FIELD TRIP
We could use a couple of more parent driver’s for our field trip on Wednesday. Please let me know if you are available to help drive. We are going to see a play called “ZooZoo”.
