Exciting Things Are Happening!
Welcome Back!
Hope you all had a wonderful February break. Our students were so excited to catch up with each other and share their stories. We are already involved in many new projects and eagerly following our North Stars to guide us along the way.
- A Reader’s Theatre script has been placed in your child’s red take-home folder. Please have your child read their part as reading homework for the next two weeks (as well as their assigned book). These part are NOT to be memorized. Each child has a few lines that they need to read using a loud enough voice for their audience to hear. Once we are ready, we will present these plays to our kindergarten class.
- Innovation Day (formerly known as STEAM fair) will take place on March 5th. The students are working on a top secret challenge. You are welcome to see where they are at in their learning journey first period on Thursday, March 5th.

We All Love a Bargain!
The Grade Six Hebrew class is excited to share that they will be holding a shuk (market) next week. They are raising money for their future graduation trip. The Grade Six have just completed a course of study about Jerusalem and its very famous market area, Shuk Machane Yehuda. Many items will be sold, such as video games, toys, books, and snacks. Like in every shuk in Israel, “bargaining” is always encouraged and welcomed. Items sold will cost anywhere from 5 cents to a maximum of 5 dollars. They would love to see your child bargaining at our shuk and see how 5 dollars can take them a long way. The Grade 1 class will be going on January 27th at 10:05.
To ensure the program runs smoothly and that money doesn’t get lost in time for the big day, you are welcome to send in money in a labelled baggie by Monday January 27th. We will hold onto their money until it is their turn to visit the shuk.
Thank you in advance from the Grade Six Hebrew class!

Winter is here to stay and we want to be outside and play…
Hi Everyone,
We feel a need for a friendly reminder that untill spring arrives winter gear is not optional.
Your children need to have snowpants, coat, waterproof gloves and a hat every day.
We recommend that if you have extra of any of the above, you leave it at school.
Please make sure everything is labled, as many of the students have the same winter clothing.
Thank you for helping us keep your children warm and dry.
Library Visits
Each week we visit the library on Friday mornings. Due to our participation in the Global Read Aloud, we have not had the opportunity to return or borrow new books during October. Our next visit will be on November 8th when we will return to our routine of taking out books once every two weeks. Sorry for the confusion. As well, our students have access to the library once a week during a recess (see below). Both classes were reminded they can use this time to exchange their material or enjoy the library space.
Weekly Library Times:
1A: Wednesdays at first recess
1B: Fridays at second recess
Reading Homework and Important Reminder
Now that the chagim are finished, we will resume our weekly reading homework. Each student now has a new book in their red folder for the week of October 28-31st. Tomorrow is a Dress Down Day. Donations will be given to the Patient Urgent Needs Fund at the Ottawa Hospital in memory of Dr. Eliana Saidenberg. Please remember to bring a donation this Friday for Dress Down Day.
