Spelling words for June 2-6

Dear parents,

Our Spelling words for next week are words that have double consonants and "le". They are: apple, puzzle, little, bottle, rattle, middle, wiggle, bubble, puddle, juggle, scribble, cattle, nibble, riddle, and giggle. Bonus words are xylem, phloem and dispersal. 

We didn't do Theme Reading this week so the theme about the space race is on for next week. 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. 

Please review the location of the provinces and territories of Canada with your child. Also go over the names and locations of the capital cities of the provinces and territories and the name and location of the capital city of Canada. We have our Social Studies test on Monday, June 2nd. 

Please be advised that there is no school on Tuesday, June 3rd, due to rotating teacher strikes. 

Next Friday, June 6th, we have another Science Alive workshop in the morning. We have Fun Lunch-Wok Box on Friday. Yummy!! 

Best wishes for a lovely weekend!

Dear parents,

Thank you for assisting in your child's Social Studies diorama projects. They look super and they are doing a great job with their oral presentations!

Reminders

Dear parents,

We have a math test on our Measurement unit on Friday, May 30th. Things that will be tested include cm, m, km, perimeter, area and volume. 

We will be doing our art project involving the use of milk/juice cartons to make bird feeders, on Friday as well. If your child hasn't brought one in yet, please remember to send it along on Friday.

If you'd like some worms for your compost or castings for your garden at home, please send a plastic container with holes poked in the top to school with your child. We will be sharing our worms and castings on Friday. Any leftover worms and castings will be donated to our school garden club. 

We will have a Social Studies test next Monday, June 2nd. Included on the test will be the names of the provinces and territories of Canada and their capital cities. Students will need to know their location on a map of Canada. They will also be tested on symbols of Canafa and the major bodies of water that surround our country. 

We will have a party on June 6th to celebrate the conclusion of our study on Canada. The children should wear red and white, and bring a treat that is symbolic of Canada or symbolic of your country of origin, as Canada is a multi-cultural country. We celebrate Miss Gardener's last teaching day on this day as well. 

If anyone has a snow cone machine at home, please let us know. We'd like to make maple syrup. 

Best wishes,

Mrs. Gerri Karr and Miss Debbie Gardiner

What a super field trip!

Dear parents,

We had such a fun day today on our field trip to the Vancouver Airport. The children were incredibly well behaved! They listened to instructions and as a result they kept

themselves safe on all modes of transportation (bus, Seabus, Canada Line sky train, and escalators). All of Miss Gardiner's safety preparation with the children really paid off. We are incredibly proud of them! Thank you also to our parent volunteers! We can't do these trips without parent support.

Reminder that we have early dismissal tomorrow, Wednesday, May 28th, at 2:00 PM. 

There is no school on Thursday, May 29th, due to rotating teacher strike.

Best wishes,

Mrs. Gerri Karr and Miss Debbie Gardiner

Socials Studies project

Dear Parents,

I have asked the class to build dioramas. These are to be done at home. A diorama is a three dimensional model. I have asked them to use shoeboxes or a box of similar size. Each student has chosen a Canadian animal. The diorama will feature the animal and its habitat. Parents may help but please do not do it for them. 

They will be marked on:

Creativity

Accuracy of animals and habit 

Written  Report (2 paragraphs minimum)

Oral Presentation

We have discussed all of this in class.

Thank you,

Miss Gardiner
