Mme Potter de Garcia: November 2017

Monday 27 November 2017

Thank you to all the parents who attended the parent/student/teacher conferences. I appreciate having open communication with parents to help bring out the best in the students.
Thursday, Nov. 30th we will have a math test.
Many grade 3 students have math to finish up. Please return it to school tomorrow even if they have not completed the work. Students may take it home again tomorrow.
A big thank you to all the parents who volunteered Thursday for Agribition. The students had a great day and without those parents it would not have been possible. Thanks again!! (pictures to follow shortly)

Grade 3 students: Find out the name of the boat on the 10 cent coin and why it is a Canadian Symbol.
Parents, you should have received an email from me regarding parent/student/teacher conferences. If you did not please email me.

We had a lovely remembrance day service. The students were attentive and respectful. The choir sang beautifully and we all reflected on how lucky we feel to be living in a peaceful country.
This afternoon we went outside for phys. ed. What a great time everyone had playing and sledding.
