Swimming: Acknowledgement of Risk forms for swimming were sent home in your child's folder.  The photocopier stapled them upside down! Please return these forms by May 29th. 

The students had over an hour this morning to work on their projects and they are progressing with these. Ask your child where they are at with their project and what their next step will be.  We will  have a good block of time with the computers again tomorrow.

Students met with a naturalization specialist this afternoon to discuss and plan ideas for improving our school playground by adding a nature area.  They had an opportunity to build an example using plasticine.  This fits in nicely with the work we have done with plants and bees.  

With our grade 1/2 buddies we reviewed the facts that we have learned already and reviewed the questions we had asked on the first day we got together.  Ask your child what two picks they made for their project that starts next week. 

REMINDER:  PLEASE SEND IN A CLEAN TIN CAN AND NEWSPAPERS
