Welcome back! I hope you had a lovely weekend and enjoyed the sunshine! Today we had continued our practice with computers by logging in and setting up our Athletics accounts. Students will be using these accounts for math activities and practice throughout the year. I will be sending home their log in information tomorrow so that they can have access at home!
We also learned about onomatopoeia, and how they are words that sound like sounds. Students were able to give some wonderful examples (smash, crack, boom, quack, etc.). Students then each chose a word and illustrated the word in a creative way. We did the rough copies in our visual journals today, and will begin the good copy tomorrow. Ask your student what word they chose and how they are going to illustrate it!
Just a reminder that if you have not signed up for a parent teacher conference this Thursday or Friday to please do so as soon as possible. I am looking forward to meeting the parents of these wonderful students!
Please read the following message from the school about the Terry Fox Run!
On Thursday September 29, 2016 at 9:30am Evergreen students will be participating in the Terry Fox Run around our community. Afternoon kindergarten students with their parents are also invited to join us to run at this time. In order to make sure our run is as safe and successful as possible, we will need as many as 75 parent volunteers. Parents have the choice to stand at checkpoints along the route and cheer on the runners, prepare healthy snacks for runners at the end of the run, or walk and run with the children. If you are able to come and help us with the run from about 9:00 AM until approximately 11:00 AM, please go to: https://goo.gl/forms/Es5jGjnEd4WfcZzG2 to sign up as a volunteer. Parent volunteers must have a current volunteer clearance to volunteer at this event. In addition, our student voice group has set our school fundraising goal to $5000 to raise money for cancer research. We will be collecting donations at the front office from September 19th - 29th. Please make all cheques payable to the Terry Fox Foundation. You can find more detailed information about our Terry Fox run on our school newsletter.
Thank you very much, and have a wonderful evening!
