Fun at O'Connor Bowl!

Yesterday we had our make-up trip to the bowling alley. We had a ton of fun! Thanks goes out to Mrs. Shah for assisting with supervision, as well as to Mr. Church for organizing the event. There were a number of students who were unable to join us. If you are looking to have your money refunded, you must speak with Mrs.Kumagawa in the main office.

Somethings going around...

This week there has been many students away. Today in particular, there are 13 students away sick. The most common symptoms are fever, and coughing. Please be sure you send your child back in good health, or if your child has not gotten sick yet, keep an eye on them. Stay healthy everyone, and to those who are away, get well soon!

Attention Grade 1 Parents

Hello everyone,

I can't believe I am writing this, but your little grade one students are quickly moving on to the bigger world of grade 2!!! In just a few short weeks their grade one year will have ended and dreams of grade 2 will be well on their way. In an effort to help the students transition into grade 2 I am beginning a new element to our language program.

Starting this Friday student will be given a spelling test with five words, which we have worked with over the last school year. Each word will be worth one mark and the tests will be sent home, I hope, every Friday afternoon so you can see the progress. This spelling test will continue from now until mid June. The words will also be posted on this blog should you loose the words.

I hope this will help the students in getting ready for grade two and spelling tests they will face in that grade.

Please work with your children each night. Spend a night orally spelling the words, on night writing them out, one night making sentences with the words and a final night reviewing the words. These are just some of the ways you can help your child prepare. This should never take more then about 15 minutes, and can even be done in your car as you travel to various after school activities!

Should you have any questions or concerns please let me know and I'll do what I can to help.

Take care for now.
