A big thank you to our parent community for all your support during these transition times with the CBE and the budget. We appreciate you so much!!!
Reading Volunteers Wanted!
I have created a Signup Genius in hopes of getting some volunteers to come in for a half hour after lunch on Mondays and Wednesdays to read one on one with students. If you are interested and have security clearance, please click on the link below to find a day that might work for you. Thank you in advance for your support! It is so important for children to read each and everyday for a minimum of 20 minutes. Even reading TO your child is super beneficial. It is great to model what reading looks, sounds and feels like :)
Remembrance Day
Students did a wonderful job with their singing of "A Peaceful River". It was a beautiful performance. To honour past and present soldiers, students created poppy art along with a written note of thanks, that was displayed in the gym during the ceremony. I will be dropping their art off at the legion so those affected by war can enjoy their thoughtful letters of thanks.
Inquiry
We have been learning about children advocates by reading the stories of Malala and Iqbal. Students were tasked to sketch note as they listened to the stories.
Students have also begun working in inquiry centers where they have been learning about earthquakes and their rights and responsibilities.
Math
We continue to work on organizing data and graphing our findings. This week students complied their data on their rock studies and created graphs. They have also been working on writing their scientific conclusions about their rock test results.
Book Fair
ROS Scholastic book fair will be held in conjunction with the parent teacher conferences during the week of November 18. This has been a wonderful way for us to raise funds to purchase books for our Learning Commons and classrooms. In addition, it is a great opportunity for families to stock up on beloved stories for reading at home.
The book fair will be open for sales during the followings hours:
For Kindergarten Parents Thursday, November 21 9:15 am 11:15 am & 1:30 to 3pm
For everyone Thursday, November 22 4:30 pm – 8:00 pm
