Happy last week of school!  This year has passed so quickly and now we have suddenly arrived at the last 4 days of school.  Lindsay and I would like to thank you all for your support and co-operation as we all worked together in your child's education.  It has been a pleasure to be part of your child's learning and successes.  Wishing you all the best as you continue the journey with your child.
     We have returned all of our library books!  Thanks so much for your help finding the lost books.  We were excited to hear our class mentioned on the announcements and we received a tasty treat from Ms. McGee for cleaning our accounts.  Thanks again!
     Your child brought home an accumulation of their work on Friday.  Please take some time to have a look at their amazing progress throughout the year.  We created a book with their monthly pictures, which will become a treasure.  Please return all the mailbags empty on Monday as we still have some things to send home later in the week.  Thank you to everyone who volunteered to wash toys.  Please return the toys before the end of the school year.  Thanks in advance.  Your help is greatly appreciated.
     We discussed bees this week and will continue the discussion regarding the importance of bees and how we can help the bee population.  The children are also completing a Summer Bucket List book!  The class also used their rekenreks to explore numbers.  We will continue to use our rekenreks to solve number problems.  The rekenreks will be sent home at the end of the week with some activities you can do with your child.  Enjoy!  The library had inventory this week, so the children were able to use iPads in our classroom while the books were counted.
     Terry Fox cookie sales will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday this week.  Just a reminder, we place and pick up our order before lunch, so please send the money to school with your child.  The children were excited to have Mr. Currie has a Mystery Reader this week.  Please see the picture to right of the blog.  Report cards will be sent home at the end of the day on Tuesday.  If your child is absent on Tuesday, they will receive their report cards on Wednesday.  A reminder that the SK students will not have a teacher listed on their report cards.  Class lists will be posted before school starts with your child's student number.
     The students attended the first part of the LKS talent show on Friday afternoon.  We will attend the second part of the talent show Tuesday afternoon before the SK Graduation.  A reminder that the Graduation begins at 2:00.  
     Thursday is the last day of school and pizza lunch.  Lunch on the lawn is a LKS tradition where the school eats in the Shale Pit.  Families are invited to join us for this year end celebration.  The Kindergarten classes have been given a meeting place, outlined in the letter sent from the grade parents.  When you arrive, we will be in the meeting spot, you are then able to collect your child, his/her pizza and continue to eat with us, or meet with siblings and other families.  Miss Janice will supervise the children not accompanied by their families.  If you attend, you are responsible for your child.  Children should line up at our wall at 12:30 for afternoon entry as usual.  Fingers crossed for wonderful weather.  In case of rain, we will follow our regular pizza lunch routine.  Please see me if you have any questions.
