It was wonderful to see everyone today after the March Break. There were a variety of stories and recounts presented during our morning sharing circle and it sounds like everyone had a great break.

-Tuesday March 19th, we have a fun-filled day of 'Mathletics' at St. Augustine School. It will be a day of math activities in a 'rotation station' format and should be very interesting. Ask your child all about it Tuesday night at the dinner table!

-Information sheets and permission forms went home today regarding our upcoming school-wide field trip to the sugar bush on Thursday, April 4th. Please be sure to complete forms and return them to school as soon as possible.

-Letters also went home about our upcoming Family Life unit 'Created Sexual- Male and Female.' Instruction for this unit will be done separately for grade 4's and grade 5's as the content varies slightly. See the letter for more details.

-Math quizzes went home today. Please sign and return them to school.

-Reading Logs continue to be an important aspect of your child's learning. Daily reading improves reading comprehension in all subject areas and also strengthens verbal communication and writing skills. As I have said before, when your child does his/her reading is up to them and you. There may be 'double up' days and other days when reading just isn't possible. Either way, the log is there in order to formalize what is an extremely important skill and a home-school connection. Plus, it promotes the love of reading and exploring the world through printed material!
