Tuesday reminder and upcoming dates


Chers parents,

Please remember that Tuesday May 26th we will be going to the Forestry Farm Zoo.  Please ensure that your child has a hat, sunglasses, good footwear for walking and sunscreen already applied.  We will be spending the morning there and returning for dismissal.

June 4th is our school wide musical “On Top of the World”.  Our class will be performing in the 4:30 pm show only at Broadway Theatre.  Please come and support our students.  Students will be asked to come to the classroom prior to show time.  Please read school newsletters for details.

The date for our Dad’s day is June 19th (the same day as the school wide swim.)  We will be meeting in the gym with our class and we will be doing fun activities all together.  If a parent cannot attend please send someone in your stead.  Come prepared to be active!

Watch for the June calendar coming soon via your child’s dossier!

News and Notes


Chers parents,

Please remember that we will be attending a show at L’École Canadienne Française tomorrow: Les 1001 tours de Monsieur Drôle.  We will be leaving the school at 9:45 and walking to the school.  Please ensure that your child has a hat and sunglasses and good footwear for the walk there.  The show starts at 10:30.  We will be returning on a bus before dismissal time.  We exchange books Friday with the guest teacher.

The following days Mme Wallace will not be in the classroom.  Teachers often become students and have other work to do. 

On Friday May 22nd, Monday May 25th and Wednesday May 27th we will be having a guest teacher for those days.  Please remind your child that expectations remain the same on these days and students are also expected to be helpers.

Tuesday May 26th we will be going to the Forestry Farm/ Zoo with our care partner class.

We are nearing the end of the school year and there is much to accomplish.  We are looking forward to enjoying many opportunities that these last weeks will bring.  Welcome back to Johnny who brought back Eiffel Towers for the class.  Merci Johnny!

Votre enseignante de la maternelle,

Chers parents,

We have another wonderful opportunity to experience some French culture and have some fun as well.  Thursday May 21st there is a live show entitled 1001 tours de Monsieur Drôle being performed at the École Canadienne Française  on Albert Ave.  We will be walking there to see the show that starts at 10:30am and we will be taking a bus back to the school for dismissal.  If you can and would like to volunteer as a parent supervisor please let me know as soon as possible.  I do have one volunteer already.  Thank you to those who have volunteered to go to the Forestry Farm with our class and our care partner class on Tuesday May 26th.

MERCI!

Joyeux mai!   We have thoroughly enjoyed April and are concluding our unit on food.  Thank you to Crystal and Sherrill for helping making bannock.  Thank you also to Stephanie and Sherrill for joining us on our trip to see Le coq de Saint-Victor.  The children enjoyed the movie very much and did quite well as audience members.  Bravo!  Now we are moving into an exciting month of May.  For your child’s special day he or she can do a picture or bring something that reminds him or her of mom
May 8th our class will be hosting a Mother’s Day Tea at 9:00 am in the school LRC.  If a parent is unable to attend please send someone to be there for your child.  I have had grandmas, dads and aunties… attend!  It is a very special occasion and the children are always very proud to share with you.
On Tuesday May 27th we will be going with our care partner class to the Forestry Farm Zoo.  I will need 4 parent volunteers.  We will be leaving shortly after 9:00am and returning at 11:30 am.
