Short Week

We have a short week. No school Thursday and Friday for students because of the FISA conference. 
There will be no homework this week as we will not have our Spelling test since the week is too short.

Next Monday, February 8th is Family Day. No school.

Scholastic Orders are due this Wednesday.

We are celebrating Julia's birthday this Wednesday (3rd). She is bringing in pizza for the class so students do not need a big lunch on that day. 

Student Led Conference forms are due tomorrow. Times will be handed out when we return on Tuesday. If you really need to know your time, please email me and I can let you know after Wednesday. 

Week of January 25th

Tomorrow is the last chance to hand in hot lunch orders for the $4.25 price.

Speech Arts poem for our Grade Two class went home last week. Students should be practicing the poem every day at home and at school.

There are 3 categories for individual Speech Arts this year in Primary.
Primary Bible Reading (2 students)
Poetry (3 students)
Prose Recitation (3 students)

The readings for Bible and Prose are under the Speech Arts category on the right side of this page.
If anyone is going to sign up for these individual categories, please let me know by no later than Monday, February 1st.

If you have not returned your Student Led Conference form, please do so by the end of this week.

This Friday is Dress up Day. Sporty or Comfortable clothes day. More information will be relayed later this week.

Reminder that next week, Thursday and Friday - February 4th and 5th are the FISA conferences for teachers. No school for students on those days.

Student Led Conference

The sign up sheets for Student Led Conference went home today. It goes home with the oldest sibling in the school. 

A few notes about Student Led as it's pretty different than the Parent-Teacher conference we had in October. The student is in charge so your child has to be present. 

I will try to honour time requests as best as I can, but might not be able to give a specific time. Every block is 30 minutes and there will about 4 families in during that time.

We cannot schedule them on a different day as the classroom is set up for that day.

If a form is not returned, I will give you a time. 

Week of January 19th

Reminder about the Reconciliation meeting tomorrow, January 19th. It will take place at 6:15pm in the Gr. 2 classroom. It is for all those who have children going through the sacraments this year. 
It is a meeting for parents so children do not have to attend. If you are unable to have someone look after your child, then it's OK for them to come and read a book or something quietly.

Tomorrow is also our pizza party. Students will still need a snack at recess. 

First Communion

It's come to my attention that a few different dates have been sent home about Reconciliation and First Communion. These are the correct dates, confirmed by Fr. Justin:

Tuesday, January 19th at 6:15pm - Reconciliation Meeting (Grade 2 Classroom)

Tuesday, February 16th at 6:15pm - Reconciliation (Church)

Tuesday, February 23rd at 6:15pm - First Communion Meeting (Church Basement)

Sunday, February 28th at 12:00pm - First Communion Enrollment Mass (Church)

Tuesday, May 10th at 5:30pm - First Communion Rehearsal (Church)

Saturday, May 14th at 5:00pm - First Communion (Church)

This Friday, January 15th is Pyjamas Day at the school. Students can wear pyjamas all day. Please bring a loonie or toonie for charity if your child chooses to dress up. They will need to make sure that they have boots/shoes/jackets etc to go outside on that day. They do not need to worry about P.E. as long as their pyjamas are OK with moving and running. They should have their P.E. shoes at school every day.

Scholastic orders are due Friday, January 15th as well.

Next Monday, January 18th is a Pro-D Day. No school for students. 

When we come back, it will be Pizza Day (Tuesday 19th). Although students might not need a lunch, they might want a drink/healthy side to go with their pizza. We will have pepperoni/hawaiian/and cheese. 

Happy New Year!

Welcome Back! 

I hope everyone had a restful and wonderful Christmas and New Years.
