March 27th

Thursday was a very busy day with our hundred day celebration and then we all really enjoyed a great play "Hamlin" by Axis Theatre. For 100 day we went to every primary classroom,  ask your child about the variety of different things they did.   Today we did a gallery walk of our 100 day projects with Ms. Roberts class, there were so many very creative ideas! 

Please check the portal to sign up for our field trip to the ACT on Thursday, April 16th and if paying by cash please pay as soon as possible.

March 6th

We have had a busy week! 

On Monday we did a special bicycle project where we first sketched a bicycle and then we created one out of wire! It was a great final project for our Force and Motion unit! 


Tuesday we were very lucky as the Planetarium came to Fairview!  If your child has not mentioned what they saw be sure to ask as they were all very excited and thought it was "AWESOME!"    We learned that:   
Thanks to the PAC who paid for this special activity!  


Thanks to everyone for attending the conferences to celebrate your child's learning!  The written copy of these reports will be handed out after spring break after Mrs. Kirves has read and signed all of them. 

Today we had our Club RED celebration!   There were lots of great prizes and all Club RED members received a special "I LOVE TO READ" bracelet.  Mrs. Cooper was our guest reader and then we had buddy reading and ate red licorice.  Yum!   Great news too our class won 2nd price for Club RED so we won hot chocolate from Starbucks, we will do a walking field trip after the break!

Today your child is bringing home a piece of paper to do a 100 Day Project.   You do not have to use this specific piece of paper if you have something else in mind.  This project can be a poster, sculpture, whatever your child wants to make, as long as it is made with 100 items (examples:  popcorn, cheerios, marshmallows, lego, pennies, stickers etc).  Be creative and have fun!  We will be celebrating the 100th day of school on Thursday, March 26th so please send in all projects by Wednesday, March 25th so that I can put them on display.  Thanks so much! 
Don't forget to also return your child's Favourite Thing Heart asap so that they can put in their writing to book for them to refer to for ideas. 

*We have booked tickets for Divisions 6 and 7 to see 'Pinnochio' at the ACT theater on April 16th (drivers will be needed, notice will be posted after the break.

Hopefully this gorgeous weather will continue and you all have a fun-filled spring break!
