May 29/15
We all had a fantastic day at Grouse Mountain. The highlights were the gondola ride, seeing the grizzly bears Grinder and Coola, the presentation at the Feasthouse, seeing and feeling real skulls, claws and fur and last but most popular, the lumberjack show! Thanks to all the parents who joined us for the day!

This has been a busy but short week! Our scientists this week were Katrina, Aston and Daniel and again they had very cool experiments which they were prepared and knowledgeable about.
In math we continued our multiplication and subtraction stations plus learned about division. We played parachute games in gym and with our big buddies we are designing and painting Robert Munsch door covers. This is a huge project but they should look really cool when we get them done. The Gallery Walk today was really fun. It is so cool to see all the amazing art that the students of Fairview have done. Any parents that haven't had a chance to walk the halls to see all the art should definitely try to do so.
Grouse Mountain is next Friday please note that all students (and parent volunteers) need to be at the school by 8 am as the bus needs to leave by 8:15 so that we are at Grouse by 9:30. Everyone needs to be sure to dress for the weather. We are all really looking forward to this exciting day!

The Poetry Recital on Monday was a big success. All the students did well and now have a better idea of what it is like to speak in front of a group. I learned something too as we had made cue cards for all the students which they didn't really use at all in the classroom but once on stage they just read them :( next time I'll have them put them in their pocket!
I made the draw for our field trip to Grouse Mountain on May 29th and the parents that will be accompanying us on the bus will be Zander's dad, Adrien's mom and Kevin's mom. Thanks to the other parents who will be joining us for the trip but will be meeting us there. Please send your $22.40 in as soon as possible so that we can deposit this into the office and then they will write one cheque for the whole Fairview group.
Div. 7 really enjoyed watching some of the track and field events that the intermediate students were in on Thursday. We had done a mini unit in gym as just an introduction and now most of the students can't wait til they are able to participate.
We started new explorations stations yesterday!
In Math the students have been enjoying new stations which are focusing on subtraction with and without regrouping and multiplication.
Next week Monday is a holiday and Tuesday is a pro d day so there is no school for students. Next Friday is our gallery walk at Fairview. Parents are welcome to see all the amazing work the students of Fairview have done this year.

Just a reminder that the Primary Poetry Recital is on Monday, May 11th at 10:30, all parents are welcome to attend. Please help your child practice over the weekend to ensure they are ready (the goal is for them to memorize their poem). We have been working on saying it slowly, loudly and clearly.
Many students are still not registered for our Grouse Mountain field trip please do so as soon as possible. Also if you registered online but haven't sent in money please also do that. Thanks.
Our scientists this week have gone very well, thanks to Lachlan, Amalia, Adrien, Quinn and Kevin for being organized and ready to present! A big thank you to Quinn's cousin who came in to extend Quinn's science project on electrical circuits. Terry brought in some traffic lights and explained how these work.
Happy Mother's Day hope you all have a wonderful day! The children were very excited about the gift they made for you! They will need a little adult/older sibling help on Sunday morning. Hope you like it.
Ms. D spent the day with us. It was so nice to see her again. She has summer classes and will then be done her teaching program.
Fun Day is coming up on June 12th. If you are able to volunteer that day please fill out the form that was sent home today and return as soon as possible.
