Spelling words for May 26-30

Dear parents,

Our Spelling words for next week are words that are possessive nouns. Possessive nouns show that something belongs to someone. They are: man's, woman's, girl's, boy's, mother's, father's, brother's, sister's, grandmother's, grandfather's, aunt's, uncle's, cousin's, baby's, and child's. 

Our Theme Reading for next week is about the race to get into space. Our words are spacecraft, conquer, orbited, astronaut, satellite, delay, nations, launch, triumphant and data. Please go over the meaning of these words with your child. 

On Tuesday, May 27th, we will be going on our Vancouver Airport trip. To make the necessary connections we need to leave the school early at 8:40. Please plan to have your child arrive a little earlier on Tuesday. Your child will need a bag lunch for this trip. Plan for the weather! Umbrellas may be needed! 

On Wednesday, May 28th, we have early dismissal at 2:00 PM for staff collaboration. Please plan to make alternate arrangements to pick up your child early on this day. 

On Friday, May 30, we have a fun lunch "Subway". Yes!!

Just a final reminder to come out to our school's "Spring Fair" on Saturday, May 24th. It will be a fun day with raffles, games, bouncy castle, and artisan's food. It runs from 10-2! See you there!! 

We had a visit from SFU's "Science Alive" this morning. The children learned a lot about chemical reactions. 

We begin Gymsense next week. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for tumbling and hanging upside down. 

Best wishes,

Mrs. Gerri Karr and Miss Debbie Gardiner
