Canola Farm Field Trip/ Year End

How fun was the Canola Farm? Take a look at the pictures!

Welcome to Kelburn Farm!

 Getting a good feel of what Canola seeds are like

Crushing canola seeds to make oil

 Phew, after a long day of learning inside, we finally get to go outside.

 At the wetlands enjoying a floating dock... or Ms. Liu getting sick from motion sickness!

We had a blast! Thanks to all the parent volunteers. This field trip couldn't happen without you guys!

Year End Happenings

  • I will be packing up the classroom very soon. You will notice that your child will be coming home with some things like: Term 2 work, Term 3 portfolio, remaining supplies that you purchased for your child, Journal, Phonics book, and a few duotangs. 
  • Last day of school: School bag is to be brought to school in case your child has forgotten to bring something home. We will also be doing a farewell/ birthday party for the students who are leaving St. Emile School, and for the summer birthday kids. I kindly ask that parents don't bring anything that day. I will have treats provided for the students.

Field Day

What a blast we had with Field Day today! We had lots of fun stations and a few great games of Tug-o-War. Without the help of the older grades, we wouldn't have made it so successful!

Just a reminder to all families. School is coming to an end soon, and its so bittersweet. Next week (June 10-15) will be the last week for spelling test and weekend writes. We'll be packing up and do some really fun activities and crafts to wind down.

June 18 is the class pizza party. Your child got to make their own pizza order. Do no bring a lunch that day! We will also be putting on a movie as that was their prize from me.

There was a change in a field trip. Grade 1s will not be participating in the "We Day" at West St. Paul. Unfortunately, the program is just not age appropriate. Instead of going, we will be watching Charlotte's Web in the morning and we'll go on a mini-field trip to get slurpees. I will send out more information closer to the date.
