We had a great week this week and the students were kept busy!  They enjoyed their full day of learning about government on Tuesday and also started a new Science Unit on the Human Body.   We have another busy week next week so please mark the following dates on your calendar.

Monday, May 15th – Grade 6 Transition Meeting for students during the day.  Parent Meeting 3:30 in chapel.  If your child is going into grade 7 next year, please plan to attend.

Wednesday, May 17th – Star Wars/Superhero Dress Up Day.  Students can dress up as their favourite super hero or Star Wars character on Wednesday.  No weapons, please.  If students choose to not dress up then it is full dress uniform.

Thursday, May 18th – Art Gala

Art Gala:  We are looking forward to the Art Gala on May 18th! Please plan to attend this wonderful evening!  Below is a letter from Mrs. Causton, who is heading up the food portion of our evening.

Hello Parents!

As we eagerly anticipate another Art Gala Evening, we couldn’t do it without your help. The Art Gala and Talent Show is Thursday, May 18^th, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. The Talent Show takes place from 7:15-7:45 p.m.

Each student in Mrs.Goosen’s/Mrs.Derksen’s class bring in two dozen cookies each.

I understand that many of us are very busy, store bought treats are more than welcome.  As you prepare/purchase your goodies, please keep in mind those students with nut allergies, thank you.

As well, please clearly label your containers/lids with your name & teacher’s name so that we can make sure they get returned!

Lastly, we are hoping to have the items delivered to the kitchen on the morning of May 18th at student drop off time to allow us to plate and prepare for the evening.

Thank you for all of your support & encouragement as the students prepare for an evening of the arts!

Kind Regards,

Rice Causton

Spelling:  For the next five weeks we will be all working on the same list using some of the most commonly misspelled words for students in upper elementary.  Some of these words are ones that have been done during the year, while others will be new.    I have a list of 200 words and will select 20 each week.   Below are the words for next week:

Spelling List:  a lot, believe, certain, difference, does, finally, happiness, immediately, interesting, lesson, losing, minute, necessary, original, personally, possible, receive, separate, through, usually.

I think that’s about it!  Have a super weekend!
