We will be starting our read-a-thon next week! I have sent home a form with information about our read-a-thon. Included in this form are special days, a tracking calendar for reading, as well as a pledge form for those who wish to be a part.

Tax forms are going to be sent home Thursday (tomorrow). Those who have their payments in good standing will have tax receipts that cover from January 2018 - June 2018  and August - December 2018. 

Please look for these forms that will be coming in your child's bag this week.

100th Day of School

What a fun day we had! It is hard to believe that we have already been in Grade 1 for 100 days!

Today we visualized what our lives might look like by the time we get to be 100 year old! After sharing our thoughts in writing we then created a self portrait of ourselves and what we think we might look like.

In the afternoon we had many 100 day math centers. We had a focus on measurement and learning how to build and construct as a team. Please ask us how far a hundred steps will take us!
 
 
 



Reminders:
- Please return the report card envelops before the end of the week!
- Pink Shirt Day is on February 27th.
- We start our gymnastics unit on March 4th. Please remember to have you child dress in clothing that will be easy for them to move in.
- March 4th is the start of our Read-A-Thon!!!! More information to come!
