Just a reminder that we are walking over to Brae Island Regional Park tomorrow after recess.
Please be sure to send weather appropriate clothing as we will be outside for most of the day – rain or shine.
Also the following students have not returned permission slips. Please bring them in the morning: Austin, Peyton, JD, Mikayla, David, Eva, Jurri, Isabella.
On Tuesday we will be heading back over to Brae Island to meet with our Little Buddies. We will be officially starting our Collaborative Research Projects. Students will be working with their Little Buddies to research animals found in and around Fort Langley.
We will be outside for most of the day. Please dress appropriately for the weather. Students were well dressed and prepared for our last trip! Always err on the side of too many layers. And don’t forget toques and gloves!
If you have not already done so, please return permissions slips by tomorrow, March 5th!
Just a quick reminder to dress for the weather today (and every day!)
We will be outside for recess, lunch, and brain breaks.
Please send jackets, toques, gloves, scarves, even snow pants/ or rain pants to act as wind breakers. Better to be over dressed than freezing!
I hope you have all had an absolutely wonderful Family Day weekend! It is so nice to see the sun shining!
Just a reminder to dress appropriately for the weather tomorrow. According to the forecast, it should be dry but VERY cold.
We will be leaving the school around 10:45am and returning shortly before the end of the day. We will be outside for the majority of that time.
Dress your child for a day in the mountains (just without the snow!)
Cold Weather Clothing Tips
Please send your child to school wearing their base layer and pack the rest of the layers in their backpacks. I will give them lots of time to layer up before we head out.
If your child doesn’t already have a complete change of clothes at school, it’s probably a good idea to send a complete change of clothes to school tomorrow – just in case!
If you have any questions about what to wear or our field trip in general, please feel free to email me. I will check my email a couple more times tonight.

Dear Parents,
Next Wednesday is Valentines Day. We will be celebrating in class with a party in the afternoon and handing out Valentines to our classmates. I have attached a list of all of the students in the class. We have been working really hard to build our classroom community the last few weeks by showing kindness and caring to everyone in the class, so we as that if you choose to participate in handing out Valentine’s Day cards you send one for every child in the class, not just your child’s friends. You are welcome to choose not to participate in this as well. For the food portion of our class party we ask that every student with an even number bring in a snack this time. If one digit numbers can bring a salty/savoury snack and two digit numbers please send in a sweet snack. Please see below for a list of all students in the class. Have a wonderful long weekend with your families!
Thanks,
Mrs. Smith and Mrs Legassie
Class List: Dominic, Sarah, Reid, Jurri, Aiden, Austin, Isabella, Stella, Cate, Quinn, Logan, Zharlize, Gabe, Sienna, David, Mikayla, JD, Heather, Eva, Malcolm, Wally, Adrianna, Peyton.

We wanted to take a moment to officially welcome you all back from Winter Break! We have many fun and exciting things planned for this term. Here are some of the highlights:
This term we will be continuing with the Read to Self, Work on Writing, and Word Work sections of our Literacy Workshop.
We will also be adding Listen to Reading. This will mainly come through the use of an awesome online leveled reading program called Raz Kids. Students will have multiple opportunities throughout the week to work on the Raz Kids program in the classroom. This program is also accessible to students at home. Log in information will be sent home later this week. All students encouraged to bring a set of headphones to school ASAP in order to fully interact with the program. We plan to introduce Raz Kids on Tuesday, January 16th.
On Mondays and Tuesdays we will be focusing our writing lessons on Poetry and figurative language. We will also be continuing with Poetry Party every Tuesday.
Students will soon be starting their second Novel Study of the year. Mrs. Smith has a number of great novels picked out for each of the reading groups.
Please encourage your child to read for 20-30 minutes every evening and record the minutes on the calendar in their green Home Learning duotang.
Due to time constraints in the classroom, we have shifted from Word of the Day to Word of the Week. Look for a new word in your child’s agenda every Monday night. Try to use the Word of the Week in your family conversations throughout the week.
There are many other fun and interesting plans in the works for the rest of our year together. Stay tuned…
We are about to enter our final week together before Christmas break! And what a full week it will be!
We have Karen Gabriel coming in to do Part 2 is the Sto Lo Tools presentation. During this presentation students will be using recycled goods to create their own tools. Please take a look at the list below and send any items you have at home.
Tuesday we will be creating some special winter writing and art that will be on display at the Fort Langley Post Office in January.
Send students in their jammies ready to enjoy a special breakfast with Santa!
Karen Gabriel will be back with us on Thursday teaching us about how Aboriginal people used animals for many things. Please wear “play condition” clothing as stamp ink may permanently stain.
We need 2-3 parent helpers for this presentation. Please email Mrs. Smith if you’re interested.
Friday afternoon will be our Christmas Party. Odd Numbered students are asked to bring a snack for the class to share. Single digit numbers please bring a sweet snack. Two digit numbers please bring a salty, savoury, or healthy snack.
We hope you all have a great and memorable Christmas season!
Next Friday will be our class Christmas Party. If your child has an odd numbered student number (That was assigned by us at the beginning of the year) then it is your turn to bring a snack for our class party. One digit numbers please bring a sweet treat and two digit numbers please bring a salty/savoury/ healthy snack, hopefully this way we will have a good variety of snacks for our christmas party. It will be taking place after lunch in our classroom. If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to talk to me or Mrs. Legassie. Thanks!
The Christmas Concert is tomorrow afternoon and evening. Your children have been working hard to get ready for it. They have been requested to wear “nice Christmas outfits” and if they have one a Santa hat. If they do not have a Santa hat there is an alternative at the school for them to wear.
The class has been working with a points system for the last few weeks as some of you may have heard by now. They gain points for good behaviour and working hard, and lose points for being off task or too noisy. We set a goal and chose a prize for when they achieved their goal. The class reached their goal last Friday and had chosen to have a PJ movie day for their prize. They will be receiving their prize on Friday afternoon, and they will be allowed to wear their PJ’s to school on Friday at your discretion.
