We had fun in Grade One this week with our little snowman unit. We wrote "how-to" stories about building snowmen, we made a digraph snowman (with blends th, sh, ch, and wh), we read "Perfect Snow" by Barbara Reid and recreated a perfect snowy day with plasticine! Stay tuned for pictures. Each day for the month of January, our calendar leader gets to build a melting snowman. We watch as the snowman melts into a puddle and then we build him all over again the next day!
We are very sad to say goodbye to Mrs. Hadford, our principal, this week as we celebrate her retirement. We thank her for her leadership and support over the years and we wish her all the best in the next chapter of her life. We have a special assembly to celebrate her on Wednesday at 8:40, families are welcome to attend.
We would like to welcome Mrs. Sharon Willms-Laing to our school who will be acting Vice Principal for the remainder of the school year. Please visit the link below for an introduction to Mrs. Willms-Laing. We are excited to welcome her into our Probe family.
Welcome Mrs. Willms-Laing
February is around the corner and it is going to be a very exciting month! We will be celebrating our 100th day of school on Friday, February 7. We are looking for parent volunteers to help out with our centers in the gym that day. If you are able to help out, please fill out the form that was sent home or email me. Information about this day was sent home on Friday along with a 100 item collection project. For this project, we would like the students to count out 100 simple items (they can count by 1's, 5's or 10's) and put the items into the paper bag that was sent home. They need to write 3 clues on the bag so that we can guess what the items are in the bag. Some examples of items they may want to count are marshmallows, lego pieces, cotton balls, macaroni noodles, paper clips, etc.
We are also looking for a donation of 2 boxes of Fruit Loops (the no-name brand is just fine) for one of our centers where the students get to make a necklace out of 100 Fruit Loops. If you are able to donate a box, please let me know. Thanks so very much!
We will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Friday, February 14. A note explaining our class party and Valentine exchange will be sent home tomorrow. Here is a link to the note as well as our February calendar.
