Week 4 Recap

We've certainly had a week filled with excitement! Some highlights include:

  • Track & Field on Tuesday - We certainly lucked out with a sunny day (although perhaps a bit hot). It was fantastic to see everyone working so hard and sharing in the 'joy of effort'. I was pleased to hear that our class enjoyed their day and tried their best at each event. Thank you again to our parent volunteer. Your help was greatly appreciated!
  • Swimming on Thursday - This was my first experience at the Sandra Schmirler Leisure Centre and I must say I was quite impressed by not only the quality of the facility but the staff. The lifeguards were superb with the students and, despite a few minor mishaps, I saw smiles all around (Although we will have to work on changing faster after swimming as we were the last class to leave almost 20 minutes late...)
  • Standardized reading assessment (RAD) on Thursday/Friday- Perhaps including this as a 'highlight' is a bit generous, but it is quite helpful nevertheless from a teaching perspective for future planning so that I can target specific reading skills that may benefit each student.
  • Terry Fox Run on Friday - What luck we have had with weather! Another beautiful day to take a walk (or for some a run) around the lake. We eagerly await the final fundraising count for the school!

Notices for next week include: 
  • Grade 4 Math test on Monday
  • Jack MacKenzie's birthday celebration on Thursday
  • Spelling test on Friday

Please continue to check PowerSchool in order to track your student's progress. Contact me with any questions or concerns. Have a great weekend!
