The Homepage of Mrs. Goosen
It has been such a pleasure working with your amazing kids this year! We want to say a huge thank you for all of your words of encouragement, gifts and thank you cards. We feel so blessed.
Below is the genius hour video from this morning’s assembly – just in case you want to watch it again! =)
Have a wonderful summer!
Mrs. Derksen & Mrs. Goosen
Today we played the student-made board games that the class created to go with our final year-end novel, Wonder. It was very entertaining and I was very impressed with the effort put into them. Below are a few pictures.
THURSDAY PANCAKE LUNCH: No need to bring a lunch on Thursday since Mrs. Mackie and Mrs. Goosen are making a pancake lunch for the grade 6 class. Students are also invited to bring treats to share for Thursday’s afternoon class party.
FULL-DRESS FRIDAY: Please remember that all students need to be in full-dress uniform for the assembly on Friday morning. Assembly starts at 9:30am and classes will be dismissed for the day immediately following, at approximately 10:30am.
Just a few things to know for this week:
WAVE POOL: Tomorrow we go to the wave pool for the afternoon. Please note that all students MUST BRING A LUNCH. They will NOT have an opportunity to buy pizza since we’ll be leaving before the pizza is for sale.
BAKE SALE: Wednesday is the bake sale to raise money for the Highroad Garden. $1 a piece.
FUN DAY: Friday is Intermediate Fun Day all morning. Remember that there is a noon dismissal this day.
Today we finished reading the novel, Wonder by RJ Palacio. I even managed to avoid doing the ugly cry, it was touch-and-go at times but I pulled it together. 🙂 What an incredible book! Be sure to ask your child who their favorite character was or what was their favorite part. I highly recommend all of the adults picking up a copy for themselves. Wonder may be classified as ‘teen fiction’ but I’m confident that any adult would enjoy it just as much – maybe even more.
No Spelling words or Bible Memory this week. It’s the final countdown…
Mrs. Derksen
We are excited about the Highroad Garden that is underway. Each class has been tasked to raise $200 to help with the supplies needed for the garden. So far our class has raised $23 and we would love to meet our goal by June 11th.
On June 11th the primary department is putting on a bake sale to help raise funds for the garden. The sale will take place at recess, lunch and after school. All items are $1. Please come and support the HRA garden bake sale!
Here is the link to our final spelling list for the year!
Please also send the 3 permission slips back to school asap.
VSO field trip this Friday, Wave Pool next Tuesday, & Cultus Waterslides on Monday, the 16th.
Thank you!
