Thank you to all who were able to attend the K-4 Artist In Residence dance performance this Thursday!
We have been doing a lot of "catch up" work this week, as students are being evaluated for this year's first report card, which will be sent home on the 31st.
Thank you to parents who have returned the "plans for next year" forms!
We had a chat in class about internet safety this week and will continue discussing strategies your child should follow in the event that they stumble across any type of inappropriate websites. We do have firewalls that block inappropriate materials at school and there are parental controls that can be set at home as well. I mention this because I have recommended that most students would benefit from using the "Raz Kids" program at home. It would be wise to monitor your child while they use the internet, and perhaps have the Raz Kids site bookmarked for easy access. If your child does not have access to a computer, it is not a problem, as we will use the program in class once or twice per week. We will also continue with our keyboarding lessons.
Thank you parents, and please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Happy New Year
Hello again parents, and Happy New Year! I hope everyone enjoyed a happy holiday!
It was great welcoming students back on Tuesday-we shared stories about our holiday and wrote an extended journal about our activities. We began our Artist In Residence work with Sound Kreations. Students are having fun learning some Hip-Hop dance moves. There will be a performance night for parents this coming Thursday, at 6:00. More details to follow ASAP.
We are beginning a new Science unit on "Hot And Cold Temperatures". Expect one or two homework assignments during this unit. So far, students have learned how to read a thermometer and to describe objects as being "hotter than" and "colder than".
In Social Studies, we learned about the early days of the Inuit people of Iqaluit and examined their strategy for making igloos.
Hope we see you for the dance performance this Thursday!
