Spelling words May 12-16

Dear parents,

Our Spelling words for next week are words that have the prefix "re". They are: rewrite, refill, reread, repaint, repay, rewind, revisit, reheat, reteach, rebuild, retell, return, retake, reprint, and replace. Our bonus words are fractured and composition.

Our Theme Reading for next week is about a twelve-mile race that takes place every Spring outside Riyadt, the capital of Saudi Arabia, called the King Camel's Race. Our words are competition, spectacle, camels, qualify, coaxing, entries, dismount, champion, outruns, and lunges. Please go over the meaning of these words with your child. 

We were treated to the Sutherland High School Band today. It was so nice of them to share their music with us. We have many students registered in band for next year. This is so nice to see!

This Saturday, the North Vancouver Museum and Archives building, on Institute Road in Lynn Valley, will be holding its annual Heritage Fair. One of our students, Maya, has a poster on display in the Family Treasures artifact section. It's a fun family event! Check it out if you can. 

Next week we have our Fun Day on Friday, May 16th. The theme is Space. Dismissal will be at 2:05. Please make alternate arrangements to pick your child up at this time. It is a Pizza Day. There will be extra pizza available for sale if you haven't ordered it through the Fun Lunch program. 

Best wishes,

Mrs. Gerri Karr and Miss Debbie Gardiner
