Just a few reminders (there's so much happening right now!):
- If you collected pledges but have not yet returned the Jump Rope for Heart envelope, please do so as soon as possible!
- Our class is collecting "Active Outdoor" items for our gift basket for the School Council Fundraiser. If possible, please send in an item such as a skipping rope, ball, frisbee, etc, by Friday, May 20th to help with this fundraiser.
We're spending more and more time outside. Please send your child with a sunhat, sunscreen and water bottle. All the fresh air and activity has been making the students quite tired. We've been noticing that a number of students are having a hard time listening and following instructions. We've been reminding them of our expectations and we'll try to provide more quiet time for those who need the rest. If you can try to ensure they're well rested at home, that would be great!
Today, we saw the Grade 6-8 Drama Club's Presentation of the play "Gran's Guide to Stop an Ogre". It was a fabulous play with a great message about standing up and speaking assertively when you want to stop a "bully". We talked in class about saying "Stop. I feel (sad/hurt/angry) when you (push me, call me "____", etc.)" or "Arrete, je n'aime pas quand tu me pousses.".
We continue to be amazed at all the French the students are understanding and speaking! "C'est fantastique!"
