Teacher Notes for the Week
Ms Myers grade 1 class
Spring has sprung…and we are so grateful! The “Wonderful Ones” spring writing included phrases such
as “Good-bye snowpants,hello t-shirts!”, “Good-bye snowshoes, hello bikes!”, and another favourite –
“Good-bye hot-chocolate, hello lemonade!” Indeed we are enjoying the change in weather, but please
continue to check the forecast and ensure your child has appropriate footwear and rain gear if needed.
Our schoolyard can be very messy at this time of year! This week we celebrate Earth Day by participating
in our yard clean-up on April 22nd . We will also plant bean seeds in the classroom and look forward to
charting the changes we observe as they grow. A reminder that Friday, April 24 is a PD day.
Mr. Cooks Class grade 1/2
Ms Rupnik Primary Language Class
This week in the Primary Language Class, we will continue with our narrative writing unit. We will use wordless picture books as a foundation for creative writing. Oftentimes students struggle with ideas and topics for narrative writing. Wordless picture books offers a visual platform for students, providing them with pictures to assist in developing storylines, setting development, character descriptions, sequencing of events, and much more. During centers, they will be introduced to a new wordless picture book app called Imagistory on our IPADS. This special app allows students to create and record their own stories using wordless picture books. Ask your child about Imagistory and the wordless picture books we used in our class this week.

Helmets must be replaced every five years and/or after a crash or hard hit – even if it looks undamaged.
Parents can set a good example to children by wearing a helmet.
Remember, anyone under the age of 18 must wear a helmet – it’s the law.
Put on the helmet so that it is not tilting backwards or forward. Then check the following:
Two fingers distance from helmet to eyebrow
