Oct. 4/19

Wow I can't believe it is already October!  Our Terry Fox assembly on Thursday was a big success with two teachers getting their makeup put on by kindergartens,  Ms Davidson and Ms Akaster were duct-taped to the wall, Mr. Cameron getting 2 pies to the face and Mrs. Bloom had not one but two buckets of water poured on her!  Way to go Fairview raising over $3, 300.00!

Just a reminder that forest fun is on Thursdays.  We plan to go out no matter what the weather is like please ensure your children come prepared to go outside with boots, coats and also an extra set of clothes.

We are discussing different reading strategies in small groups during Reader's Workshop. Please keep your eyes open for Ways to Take Action and Solve Words  sheet in your child's planner bag (they started coming home this week and some students will get them Monday) and leave them in these bags so they will able to use these as a resource whenever reading at home.  These will be kept in the secret pouch of their new planners which they will be getting on Monday!  They have arrived - the cost of these is $7.00 and will be up on the portal soon.

Our skating field trip on Thursday, Oct. 24th is now up on the Parent Portal. Please sign up asap and send in cash if renting skates or a helmet.  Thanks!

*Mrs. Pace announced today that there will be a 'pause' on bringing Pokemon cards to school.  Our class had been doing really well with them but unfortunately today one of the students Pokemon album went missing. We think it occurred when we were at the gym and everyone took a look in their backpacks but so far we've had no luck finding them.
