Good evening ladies & gentlemen,

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone tonight.  Please remember that you are asked to arrive by 6:10pm.  You will all do great :)


Some students have been struggling with their multiplication tables.  I know that they can be difficult, especially when you are trying to get quicker with them.  A note went home to parents today for students who need to practice some more on getting quicker with recalling their multiplication tables.

Good evening ladies & gentlemen,



Tomorrow is our Spring Concert.  It begins at 6:30pm, but students are asked to arrive no later than 6:10pm.  Most students in our class are pigs, so they are asked to come wearing a plain pink shirt.  If they do not have one, we have some available for students to barrow.  If your child is not a pig, they are to check with Mrs. Legros for what they are to be wearing.

Next week we will schedule our fractions math retest.  All the tests have come home, either in the Friday Folder or ahead of time.  Students whose marks were below a level 3 will complete the retest.  The date for the retest will be set once we have completed additional reviews of the material during recess times.  We have had one review already, and will have another hopefully on Tuesday.  

I hope you all have a great long weekend!
