Have a wonderful weekend and I hope everyone finds some time to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather!

 September 17th 

Wow! What a busy week! The students were fabulous and worked hard on all their tasks this week.  Today was our first day of options.  The students chose the option they wanted to participate in and explored one of the following: choir, game boards, drawing, computers or reader's theater.  Ask your child what option they participated in!  Students also had their first spelling test, and homework was handed in.  Check your child's yellow folder for their marked spelling test.  Please remember it is your responsibility to ensure your child is completing their homework and are handing it in in time and this is a mandatory component of TLC.

We are working on:

Math: Addition, subtraction, representing 3-digit numbers, Growing Patterns

Social Studies: We have been reviewing Canada and Mapping Skills. Students have also been discussing "needs and wants" and how they contribute to Quality of Life.

Science: We are learning about animals and classification.  This week we explored mammals and birds.

Language Arts: Sentence structure and paragraph writing


School Updates:


Terry Fox Run:

We will be participating in a School Wide Run/Walk on the morning of September 23rd. Please consider sending in a "Toonie for Terry to support this Fight against Cancer Fundraiser.  This will not be a casual day


The Love of Reading Campaign

We are thrilled and excited that our school has been adopted by Chapters Chinook! From September 13th to October 3rd, this store is going to fundraise on our behalf through donations done directly at the Chapters Chinook location. We’re also going to be raising funds to support our library through the direct fundraising page, located below. Please spread the work by sharing this link with family and friends.

Our school is going to receive every dollar raised to support our library and receive an additional 30% discount off books when we shop at Indigo & Chapters program donations. These funds will go long way to bringing more diverse and inclusive picture books to our classrooms. 

Please help us by showing your support for our library and our school community! We look forward to surprising the staff and children at Le Roi Daniels School with all the new library books this year!  Thank you for your continued support.
