 Monday Nov. 23, 2020

Thank you parents and students for participating in our Parent-Student-Teacher interview last week.  It was wonderful to meet with you and to share successes and to make plans for moving forward.  Thank you for your patience with the technology early on Thursday.

Celebrations    

1.  Today we started a new read aloud book - Silverwing!  It is a wonderful and exciting book about a young bat named Shade who is the runt of his colony.  He will go on the adventure of a lifetime and will grow and change in many ways throughout the story. 

Something to Talk About

Describe Shade to your parents.  What words could you use to describe what you know about him so far in the story?  What did you hear in the story so far that connects to our animal study in science?

2.  In math we worked on a challenging activity that made us think about basic facts in a new way.  We had to use our number sense and some tricky rectangular boxes to solve basic addition facts.

3.  In PE we had fun working on our basketball skills!

Reminders

If your child is in Grade 4 and would like to join the Peace Ambassadors this year, please respond to the email sent out last week by Thursday, November 26th.  We will begin Monday Nov. 30th at lunch.

Families Helping Families

 

As is our tradition at Eric Harvie School, again this year we are calling on your kindness and generosity to help support a family in need at Christmas.  This year, we will be supporting 10 families at Colonel Fred J. Scott School who may need a little extra help to make Christmas brighter.  While in past years we asked for specific gift donations for individual family members, due to the pandemic, this year will look different.   

 

This year we are asking for monetary donations.  These donations will purchase a variety of gift cards (eg. Walmart, Superstore, Safeway) and small stocking stuffers gifted to each member of the 10 families in a stocking.  Parent Council has generously offered their support by collecting the money via direct deposit and helping purchase the gifts.

 

Donations can be made via at
