It's sure going to be an exciting week!
Read-A-Thon : Thank you for returning the pledge forms today. Students will get to enter their ballots tomorrow and preview the book fair. Thank you for all of your support for this event.
Wednesday Evening: The events of Wednesday evening begin at 5:30 (Book Fair & Bake Sale). Check to see if your child won a Literacy basket when you arrive. Winners will be posted. All students need to report to their classroom for 6:00 with their instrument to be tuned. At 6:30 the performance will begin outside. Please remember chairs/blankets. Students are asked to wear their blue shirts. The Book Fair & Bake Sale will reopen after the performance and close at 8:15. If you are unable to attend please let myself or Mr. B. know so that we can plan accordingly. If you have any other questions about the event just let me know.
Friday - Zoo Trip: The forecast Friday is rain so please dress appropriately. Rainboots and umbrellas would be a great idea. Hopefully the forecast will change before then though. Students need to have a bag lunch and are encouraged to wear their blue BSLS shirts. Thank you to everyone who volunteered to drive and chaperone!
Hurray! A couple Flat People have safely returned to us. Next week you will get to see them posted on our bulletin board.
Have a great last week of May.

Refreshed
The students certainly seem to be refreshed after their extra long week-end. We have already accomplished loads this morning!
Evening of the Arts
On Wednesday, May 29th students are asked to wear their blue BSLS shirts. Events for the evening begin at 5:30. The Scholastic Book Fair and the Bake Sale will be open at that time. Students need to be supervised by an adult during this event.
At 6:00 students need to report to their classroom with their instrument for tuning. Families can head out to the field to find a spot to view the concert. Please bring your own lawn chairs/blankets. Students will remain with their class for the entire concert. The Book Fair and Bake Sale will close during the concert portion of the evening and reopen again afterwards.
Field Trip
Thank you to everyone who has volunteered to drive us on our upcoming field trip. Please remember to send back the signed forms by Monday.
Science
We are beginning a study of living things in our classroom. We will look at characteristics and needs of humans, animals and plants. Watch for pictures of some of the exciting things happening during this unit.
Flat Project
All of the Flat People have been sent on their way. When we start to receive them back I will post items for everyone to see.
Have a great week!

Project Flat People
The cookie sale last week was a hit! Check out our milk mustaches. Thank you for contributing to our Compassion Canada fundraiser.
Most students in the class recently signed up to be a Star Reader during the month of May. This means that they have a designated day to read any book they choose to the class. Picture books of an appropriate length are suggested.
In Social Studies we did a comparison unit of Winnipeg, Manitoba with Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. Part of this study was an in depth look at the Mi'kmaq Aboriginal group. Take a look at our community that we built.
Flat People: Thank you so much for already helping out with this project. The students are so excited to be sending away their Flat People soon. We are just working on the finishing touches this week. Please have the four journal entries back at school no later than Thursday. Here are a few pictures of what our Flat People have been up to so far.
Upcoming Field Trip: I have an all day field trip planned for May 31. I will need volunteers to drive and spend the day with us. Please check your schedules and let me know if you would be available to join us.
For Parents: I came across this video while doing some reading on the benefits of silent reading in the classroom. This woman very clearly explains how you, the parent, can help your child read at home. Her ideas fit along with the Daily 5 strategies and theories used in my classroom. Your child is at a stage where reading silently everyday is very important practice for their skills. They are now able to read independently and are excited to do so.
