Spring has sprung! On Friday, we spent the afternoon outside observing and drawing the beauty of nature. The student's participated in an art lesson that mimicked Tom Thompson's unique take on art. If you've never seen his paintings, I would encourage you to come into Grade three and check out our art!
This Friday will be our Grade three Speech Contest. During the afternoon, 1:00-2:15, the students will be presenting their Robert Munch stories to the class. I would encourage you to continue practicing with your child at home (Reminder: this is a RETELLING, not a memorization of the words. Students will be judged on their ability to orally retell these funny stories). We've had limited time in class, and so practicing at home is essential. I've been emphasizing volume, expression and pace while talking to the students about speech contest. I would love to have an audience for the students, so if you're available on Friday from 1:00-2:15 pm please feel free to come and join us; I know you'll be thoroughly entertained!
I also wanted to ask for your assistance. We, in Elementary, have seen a decline in Elementary Supervision volunteers. I feel guilty asking for assistance, as it greatly benefits us teachers when we have volunteers to cover the supervision of students at lunch time. What we're looking for are parents who are able to come from 12:00-12:45 to watch over the students as they play. On the days we don't have enough, us teachers must give up our lunch eating time, which makes for a long day. If you are able to fulfill a lunch supervision time, please sign up in the office for the month of April or contact Tanya Friter in Learning Resource (Tuesday & Wednesday only).
Have a wonderful week and I look forward to seeing you on Friday afternoon!
Mrs. Kullman
