Today was our Spell-A-Thon and all our students felt excited and proud about their results.  The quiz took us most of the morning to finish and we had to draw names for our class representatives since many student got all 50 words right!!!!

If you can volunteer for our trip to the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary, please let us know as soon as possible!  This trip is creeping up on us and we still need more adults to join us!

Spell-a-thon Tomorrow - Dont forget to practice your words! Spelling test of the first 50 words will be going home tomorrow for students to collect their pledge money.

Spell-a-thon assembly tomorrow afternoon 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Today all the Grade 1 classes had the opportunity to estimate how many students it would take to measure from one end of the school to the other. Some of our estimates were very close as it took 137 students to go from one end of the hall to the other! As a challenge we asked the students how many children it would take to go all the way around the outside perimeter of the school. This estimation was difficult!  It took 454 students to go around the entire school! We had a lot of fun measuring!

Please remember to bring in your field trip forms if you have not done so already. We are still in need of a few more volunteers to join us at the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary. We will need a total of 5 parents per class. Please e-mail me if you are able to come!

We had a great Science Day today! We had lots of fun with the scientists and learned some new experiments too! We built exploding volcanoes, made rainbow milk and grew germs! We also learned that there are good germs and bad germs. Over the next two days we will observe our germs as they grow. Some of the places we swabbed were: toilets, door handles, pencils, chairs, the smartboard, utility balls and even Mr. Spriggs computer! We will monitor to see where we found the most germs around the school. Where else do you think germs might be hiding at school? or in your home?

Thank you to the moms who came out and helped us this morning! We couldn't have done it without your support!

We are also looking forward to building bird houses on Friday morning and thank you to our parent volunteers, Mark, Lynn & Lisa who will be helping us!

If you are interested in volunteering for our field trip to the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary on May 19th, please e-mail me. (This is a full day field trip.)
