• Wow! What a week! Last week was our Winter Carnival and we ended with a BANG.  On Friday, we received an unbelieveable announcement from Let Them Be Kids.  Our school was a recepient of a grant for funding for a new playground.  We all received T-shirts and it looks like Saturday, June 2 is the big build day. I was so proud of all of the work that the playground committee has put forth.  What a caring community! I am a very lucky teacher!
• ABC Autobiography will be due on Tuesday.
• Science quiz on the Digestive and Respiratory systems on Wednesday.
• Book orders due on Wednesday.
• Science Fair for Gr. 5-8 on Tuesday, March 13.
• I will be sending home parent teacher interview slips tom. please sign and return.
• I am very proud of everyone for staying on top of their work. It is so much easier to stay organized when we stay on task in class and when we decide to do a bit of work each night.
• Let's have a great week!
