We would greatly appreciate any donations for the poppies distributed to students on Friday.

Space Day (November 13^th): Get ready for an exciting adventure as we have Space Dress-Up Day! Students are encouraged to dress up as astronauts, planets, rocket ships, and other space-themed characters to explore the wonders of the universe together. Whether you’re rocking a space suit, transforming into your favourite planet, or designing a colourful rocket ship costume, creativity will be in full orbit!

This week, I’m sending home a set of study cards to help our students prepare for their upcoming science quiz on Matter! These cards cover essential vocabulary definitions that your child should study in order to feel confident for their quiz on Friday, November 8th.

In addition to the vocabulary cards, I’ll also be sending home a chart that shows different changes of matter. Students will be expected to know how to label this chart, which is an important part of the quiz.

Creating their own flashcards and using them as a study tool is a technique I am hoping they will learn, as it can be a very effective way to study.

Please encourage your child to review a few terms each day so they feel well-prepared by quiz day. Thank you for your support in helping make science a fun and successful learning experience!

Our Highroad Missions Team is traveling to Guatemala over spring break. To support our project of building a classroom, we’re launching a Poinsettia Fundraiser. You can place your orders online until November 14th, with a selection of beautiful festive arrangements available. Poinsettias will be ready for pick-up on November 28-29, and some will also be available for purchase on those days. Thank you for your support!

As the rainy season approaches, it’s essential to prepare your kids for outdoor recess, even in wet weather! Students will still head outside to play, so ensure they have rain gear like waterproof jackets, sturdy boots, and umbrellas. This will help keep them dry and happy while they enjoy their time outdoors.

Get ready for an exciting opportunity to connect! 🎉 Here’s the link to sign up for our in-person parent-teacher interviews on Friday, November 1st. I can’t wait to meet with you! Please choose a time slot that works best for you. If you need to schedule for another day, just share your availability, and we’ll make it happen!

We are excited to remind you about our upcoming field trip to Science World! Here are the important details to ensure a smooth and enjoyable day for everyone:

Date: Monday, Oct. 21
Departure Time: Please arrive in front of the school by 8:30 AM. The bus will leave at 8:45 AM sharp, so it’s important to be on time!

Attendance: Students will not enter the classroom on this day. We will take attendance at the front of the school before we board the bus.

What to Bring:

• Lunch: Please pack a plenty of lunch and a water bottle for your child.
• Clothing: Dress your child in layered clothing so they can enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities comfortably.
• Bus Activities: Students can bring non-electronic items to keep themselves entertained during the bus ride.

Chaperone Information: Parent chaperones will receive a schedule and be assigned a group of students upon their arrival. Thank you for volunteering to help make this trip a success!

Return Time: We plan to return to school by our usual dismissal time of 2:45 PM, but please keep in mind that traffic can affect our arrival.

Thank you for your support and cooperation! We can’t wait for a fun-filled day of learning at Science World!

I hope this message finds you well! I’m thrilled to announce that I have reached out to the four parents who volunteered to join us on our upcoming trip to Science World. Thank you so much to everyone who expressed interest in being part of this exciting day!

I truly appreciate your enthusiasm and willingness to help out. Unfortunately, due to space limitations on the bus, we could only select four parents to accompany us. I sincerely apologize for not being able to accommodate everyone who wanted to join; your support means the world to us!

For those parents who would still like to be part of the experience, you are more than welcome to purchase your own ticket and meet us at Science World. While you won’t be responsible for a group, you can certainly tag along with the group your child is in and enjoy the day with us.

Thank you again for your understanding and support. I’m looking forward to a fantastic day filled with learning and fun!

God’s blessings,

I am thrilled to share that our class will be going on an amazing adventure to Science World on October 21st! This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to explore the wonders of science in a fun and interactive way.  The other grade 3/4 class will be joining us, making it a day full of fun and learning with friends!
