Last 2 weeks

Thank you to all the parents who were able to join our class on the field trip today. 

We have a Math test this Thursday. It's just a review of Unit 5 which is addition and subtraction to 100.

The talent show is this Friday at 1:00pm. All parents are welcome to attend. I don't yet know the participants, but I assume that information will be posted very soon.

Next Monday, we will be having our Awards Assembly. More information will be sent home soon.

Reminder that next Wednesday is early dismissal. School will end at 12:15pm. Thursday is a regular day and Friday is the last day of school and will finish at 12:15pm as well.

Thursday is our Good Shepherd Celebration. Thank you to everyone who has already signed up to bring food to our potluck. We are lucky to have so many items already. If you have not yet signed up to bring something, please contract myself or Jane's Mom. All parents and family are invited to join us for our special celebration. 

Field Trip

Permission Forms for our Field Trip will go home tomorrow. We've been waiting for bus confirmation. Unfortunately, last Friday, the office told me that while we have a bus, it is only medium size as a larger bus was above our budget. We might not have room for parents on the bus. If any parents are able to drive themselves and other parents, we can try to arrange a car pool to help those that want to go, but have no way to get there. If you are able to drive or need a ride, please let me know. You are welcome to arrange rides on your own too, but please let me know when you fill our the permission form or in email so I know who is coming. Thank you for your patience. 

This Friday is our Pizza Party. Students do not need a lunch that day, but they will still need their snack.

June!

Sports Day - This Friday, June 5th is Sports Day. Students can wear clothes of their team colour and ready for physical activities outside. The weather is looking like it will be pretty warm and sunny. Students might want sunscreen and/or hats. School will end at 12:15pm on this day.

Monday, June 8th is the teacher planning day. No school for students. 

I'm hoping to have the permission forms for our field trip to Boundary Bay Regional Park sent home. I'm just waiting for confirmation on the bus and the size of the bus. Parents are welcome to join us. If we have a big bus, there will be lots of seats to accommodate everyone. If the bus is smaller, seating may be limited.

We have dates for all our June, July and August Birthdays! We will celebrate all in June:

June 15th  - Yzabella
June 17th - Kris
June 18th - Caitlin
June 19th - Audrey
June 22nd - Ana Sofia
June 23rd - Nathan

June is Coming!

We have only 5 weeks left in the school year. However, we have a lot of activities and things to do in the last 5 weeks.

Hot lunch forms went home today. We have a few days where the students might not want to order hot lunch so I will go over these now.

The Grade 2 class won a pizza party for their contributions towards the Money in the Bag donation drive. We will have this pizza party on Friday, June 12th. 

Tuesday, June 16th will be our last field trip. We are going to Boundary Bay Regional Park from around 10:00 am to 2 or 2:30 pm. More information will be given. We are just waiting for bus confirmation at this point. We will be taking bagged lunches with us to have a picnic at the beach.

Students may have mentioned the Good Shepherd Celebration. We are blessed that Father Justin can join us. We will celebrate this event on Thursday, June 25th. The day before the last day of school. It will be a special prayer service led by the Grade Two class and Father Justin in our classroom. After, we will have a potluck lunch. We are hoping many parents can join us for our special year end celebration.

Next Friday, June 5th is Fun Day or Sports Day. By now students should know their team colour. On that day they should try to wear clothes that match as best as they can. We will have some meetings so the students will know more after tomorrow.

All children who have birthdays in July and August will celebrate their birthday in June. Exact dates will be posted later.

Tuesday

The Grade Two's had a great Living Rosary today. We didn't have as much time to practice as some years because of the holiday on Friday and Monday, but every one did a great job. I think this was the best I've seen from Grade Two doing the Living Rosary. Thank you to all parents who could come and join us. 

There is no Spelling this week because of the short week and the Living Rosary today.

Friday is dress up day. My future career. Please bring a loonie or toonie if they choose to dress up. It will be interesting to see all the types of jobs and careers that the children are thinking about. If they want to dress up as a teacher, please remind them that they need the same hair as me. I can give out free hair cuts. (^_^)

Victoria Day Week

Living Rosary is this Tuesday at 9:15am. All parents are welcome to attend. Every student has a part which they should be practicing this weekend. It will either be the Hail Mary or Glory Be. 

Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with thee. 
Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. 

Holy Mary Mother of God, pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death 
Amen.


Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Our First Communion Bulletin Board is now up in the hall by the office/Staff Room. Thank you  to everyone who sent in pictures. Any pictures sent after last weekend will be posted this Tuesday.

Short Week

This Friday, May 15th is a day off school. We are celebrating the feast day of St. Anthony of Padua. Monday the 18th is Victoria Day so it is a 4-day weekend. I hope everyone has a good little rest. 

The Living Rosary has been delayed. It will now take place on Tuesday, May 19th at 9:15am. The Grade 7's are having the sacrament of Confirmation on Wednesday and the school wants the extra time on Tuesday to practice a few things for that Mass.

Thank you to everyone who sent in photos for First Communion. We should have the bulletin board up by Tuesday. If you still wish to send some photos in, I can accept them until midnight tonight (Sunday).

Scholastic orders for May will be due May 19th.
