Good afternoon!  I know that I posted the spelling lists on Friday but due to a short week we will not have a spelling test this week.  Those lists will be used for next week’s quiz.

Thank you and have a great week!

It is hard to believe that we only have two weeks left of school before spring break!  I think that we are all looking forward to some time to relax and have a holiday!  There are a couple of things coming in the next two weeks that I wanted to let you know about:

Bake Sale on Thursday, March 3rd

The primary department is putting on a bake sale to raise money for the Guatamala Missions trip that is taking place over spring break.  All items will be $1 and the bake sale will be open before and after school as well as morning and lunch recess.

Professional Day on Friday, March 4th – teachers will be busy working on the new curriculum that rolls out in September.

Report Cards go home –  Friday, March 11th

Spring Break – Saturday, March 12 – Monday, March 28th.  Classes resume on Tuesday, March 29th.

Spelling Lists:

List 1: confuse, endure, project, reject, skirt, canoe, elect, picnic, retire, raise, attend, during, remains, jail, getting, distant, sweeping, sudden, royal, truly

List 2: elephant, sergeant, companion, affliction, audience, musician, niece, bachelor, college, society, frighten, acknowledge, purchase, accuse, pressure, arrive, affect, listen, investigate, supply

JUMP ROPE FOR HEART

Tomorrow we will have our Jump Rope for Heart day.  Students will participate in a variety of skipping activities tomorrow afternoon – this is always a lot of fun.  Please return all envelopes tomorrow to the classroom teacher.

GUATAMALA ITEMS NEEDED

Please send items for the Guatamala missions trip next week as the Highroad Missions team would love to bring lots of items to bless the Guatamalan people with.   The following items are needed:  pencils, pencil crayons, rulers, erasers, small cars, small stuffed animals, bouncy balls, face clothes, small soaps, tooth brushes, small toothpaste, hairbrushes, combs, small dolls, childrens clothing, children shoes, twin sized sheets, baby clothes, childrens scissors.

So sorry for the confusion – my mistake!  It is PINK SHIRT DAY this Wednesday, not Knight’s Day.  Please wear a pink shirt in support of anit-bullying day!

We are trying to solve the mystery of a grey converse gym shoe that has gone missing.  If you could check at home and see if it was mistakenly brought to your house, that wouid be great.

Also wanted to send a reminder that it is Knight’s Day on Wednesday.

Have a great week!

Jump Rope for Heart

On Friday, February 26th the class will be participating in the Jump Rope for Heart activities.  Please return pledge forms by Friday, filled out or not.  Thank you!
