SCHOOLS OUT FOR SUMMER Tomorrow at 12:00!

 Thanks to Sam, Landon R., Evan, Hunter, Vivian and Maahi's family for providing our yummy treats for our final celebration.  

Your child is bringing home all their school supplies, inside shoes and books today.  These should stay at home.  They will be bringing home their memory books tomorrow.

A few highlights from our Fun/Sports Day!

Thank you for all your support this year, help, kindness/generosity and the most important gift of all sharing your child for the school year.  Div. 11 has created so many special memories and I feel very privileged to have been their teacher this year. 

Just a reminder that tomorrow dismissal is at 12:00.

Hope you all have a wonderful summer!  Sheralyn Rowledge-Toscani

June 16th

This was one of our bulletin board that featured our Ted Harrison Art work!  

We had the rest of our scientists and continue to learn so much.  We had Water Fireworks and then compared oil floating on the top of a jar to when there are oil spills in our oceans,  we saw the chemical reaction when Mentos and coke are put together and how you can get a cotton ball to float!

Reminders for our last few days of school...

*Fun Day is tomorrow.  Thank you to our amazing PAC who has organized this event.  Hopefully it will be a nice day! We will be outside the majority of the day (rain or shine) so please ensure that your child is dressed for the weather.  Colours for Fun Day below:  students should wear their colour (whether it is a shirt, pants, sunglasses, hat  (whatever be creative!)

*Please send in a bag (cloth with handles is ideal) for school supplies by Monday so your child can organize and bring home all their school books and supplies.  

*Please be checking your homes for classroom books.  I usually get a couple of piles of books that have gone missing or behind beds etc.  Thanks for taking the time to look.  

*Your child will be bringing home their Poetry and More books tomorrow and they should now stay at home.  

*Tomorrow will be our last day for planners so please keep them at home after the weekend.

*Tuesday, June 21st will be gum day in Div. 11.   Students are allowed to bring gum from home but must follow the rules that we have set out together in the class.

*Thank you to Callum's Mom for volunteering to clean a couple of our bins.  If anyone else could volunteer to take home a couple that would be really appreciated.  

*If your child will not be attending school until next Thursday, please let me know to ensure they have all their belongings.  I have it planned that they will be bringing home their memory books the last day which is Thursday and probably their school supplies on Wednesday.  

*Families below please find important information for the public library summer reading program.  I would encourage all the children to join.  It is a great way for them to maintain and strengthen their skills.

It's so hard to believe this year is almost over!  Enjoy your weekend.  

June 9th

The students have done some awesome art for our ocean unit as you can see from our bulletin...

This week's science experiments included colourful storm, gummy bear investigating, what sinks and what floats, and oobleck.

Important Updates and Information:

*Analogue clocks came home today, please practise with your child.  We have been learning both digital and analogue, plus the different ways to tell time eg.)  8:45, 45 minutes past 8, or 15 minutes to 9, or quarter to 9 (the half past and quarter after is more challenging so initially please focus on the first two ways) 

*Hot Lunch tomorrow for those children that have ordered.

June 3rd, 2022

 It's June and summer is in the air but we have still lots of work and cool projects that need to be done in Div. 11.  

Updates/Thank You/Reminders:

*Thank you to Cooper's mom for putting together our last Scholastic that went home today.  A big thank you to both Kenzie and Cooper's mom for taking on this job all year.

*Extra Duo-tangs also went home today.  I sent them home separately so that you can save the for next year and they won't get mixed up with all their other ones.  

*Please ensure that your child is ready for their Scientist Day.  If you have not received this information please email or have your child ask for a new project sheet.  This week our scientists have taught us about how when you poke pencils into a bag full of water, the water does not leak out, how different liquids layer when put together and why salt and pepper jump onto a magic spoon!   

*Hopefully your child brought home their Story Necklace.  Mrs. Penner  a district literature teacher came to our class on Wednesday and shared a special story call A Girl and the Wolf.  The students then had to retell the story on their cards.  Please have your child share their necklaces with you.  

*Smooth Rocks/Stones NEEDED for a special craft:  If your child hasn't already done this, each child is to please find and bring a small, smooth rock.  These should be no bigger than their pinky fingers. Could you please label it with tape or a post-it with your child's name and send it in asap. 

Volunteers needed:  As the year is coming to a close I was hoping that some of you might be willing to wash some of our math and building manipulatives in preparation for the upcoming school year.     Dishsoap and warm water work best.  Thanks in advance to Cooper's mom who has already volunteered.

*Please remember that the book with the yellow post-it is the one that your child needs to practice for Reader's Workshop.  It should be in their planner bag. 

*Also please be checking your homes for any classroom books and return them.  

*Don't forget to wear Fairview colours (blue and yellow) or Fairview clothing on Fridays. 

*The last two days we have had nice warmer weather, just a reminder to make sure your child has a water bottle, sunscreen and a hat when it is required.  We continue to enjoy our outside times.

May 27th, 2022

I hope you enjoyed your May long weekend.  It was certainly nice to have some sunshine! It's hard to  believe that next week will be June, time is just flying by!

Div. 11 has continued to have interesting science experiments.  We learned how vinegar and baking soda can inflate a balloon, how to make elephant toothpaste, saw a volcano in a jar and a candle vacuum!  The students are doing an excellent job of completing and sharing their projects and the class is asking good scientific questions.

Updates/Thank Yous/Reminders:                                                                                                       *Yesterday was another successful hot lunch.  Thank you to the Fairview PAC for creating this opportunity for our school community. They will also be giving all students/staff a free frozen yogurt on the Fun Day they have organized on June 17th.  That's why supporting their fundraisers is very appreciated.

*Smooth Rocks/Stones NEEDED for a special craft:  We are asking each child to please find and bring a small, smooth rock.  These should be no bigger than their pinky fingers. Could you please label it with tape or a post-it with your child's name and send it in sometime next week. 

Volunteers needed:  As the year is coming to a close I was hoping that some of you might be willing to wash some of our math and building manipulatives in preparation for the upcoming school year.     Dishsoap and warm water work best.  Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to help out with this.  Last year I literally spent days washing everything.

*Hopefully we are heading into warm weather, just a reminder to make sure your child has a water bottle, sunscreen and a hat when it is required.  We continue to enjoy our outside times.

*Thank you for checking the front pouch of your child's planner regularly.

*Please remember that the book with the yellow post-it is the one that your child needs to practice for Reader's Workshop.  It should be in their planner bag. 

May 20, 2022

 Div. 11 Scientist of the Day started this week with some exciting experiments and great learning.  So far we have learned about Dancing Raisins, Milk Magic, Floating Ink, Scared Pepper all of which had a variety of chemical reactions.  Ask your child what they have learned.  

Scholastic went home on Wednesday, remember if you are ordering you need to use the class code.  Thanks to Kenzie and her mom for organizing these for us.  Please be checking the secret pouches of your child's planners regularly as many of them have several notices in there.  There is PAC fundraiser information and possibly even your child's scientist sheets.

Spelling duo-tangs went home on Thursday, these are to stay at home.  You can still access Spelling City link to practice these important phonetic patterns.  

Don't forget to wear Fairview colours (blue and yellow) or Fairview clothing on Fridays. 

Remember there is no school on Monday due to the holiday.  Enjoy!

Habitat Pictures

 My daughter solved my problem of airdrop so here are the creative habitats!  I've shown these to my family as I am very impressed and proud of their work!
