March 16

Good afternoon!

In gym we continued to practice hockey skills by passing with a partner. When we returned to our room we briefly discussed that people have different skills and sometimes it takes extra practice because they are not quite there "yet", and that is absolutely okay!

We had some fabulous leprechaun traps brought in that I know will capture a leprechaun or two! As the students were very excited about their creations I thought it would be a great idea to have the creators sit at their desk and have others come around to discuss their traps. I thought I would wear green today to lure the leprechauns out. The students have been worried about the sparkly shoes I usually wear, suggesting I hide them.

Here are some leprechaun traps:






I think students feel leprechauns may be tempted if there is more than one trap in one area.





My attempt at a guided drawing, coloured in by students. If you look closely, you will see many 2D shapes:

And, to encourage the leprechauns to visit Room 5:


Tomorrow is an early dismissal day so that means school ends at 11:00! The Pillars of Care assembly begins at 8:15 until approximately 9:00. After the assembly the grade 1s have Maker Space time to explore and create!

Please read this important message from Parent Council (please note the notices were placed in each student's mailbox earlier this week...I remind them it is their responsibility to check mailboxes every day!):

Our school Parent Council has sent out order forms for school apparel.  They are offering t-shirts, hoodies and sweatpants for all staff, students and family members of Beddington Heights to purchase.  Purchase of school apparel is not a requirement, but offered for those interested.  Sample sizes are available to try on at the school office, and will also be available during Student Involved Conferences, next Wednesday and Thursday.  Please note, there is a small pricing error on the order forms. The prices on the front of the notice are correct.  Thank you.

Have a fabulous evening and don't forget to wear green tomorrow!

Ms. Cokar
