Yes, we will celebrate Valentines Day tomorrow, Wednesday! You are not obligated to send Valentines for your child to hand out, but if you do please send enough for all students, 22, and 2 teachers!
Tomorrow will also be our last day swimming! It has been awesome to see your kids grow and progress. I love watching them be so excited for being able to do something that they were kinda scared of at first. Way to go Room 4!
Daily Olympic Update:
Canada has 10 medals - 3 Gold, 4 Silver and 3 Bronze - Way to go Canada!
Have a discussion with your child about how to treat materials and items in Room 4. We have had some things taken away because of misuse. Hopefully students can earn the privilege to use these items again.
Reminder there is no school Thursday, Friday or Monday! 5 whole days off! See you Tuesday, February 20th!

SWIMMING!!!
We start swimming tomorrow, Tuesday! I've asked that 1-piece bathing suits not be worn to school. This will make it difficult for students to go to the bathroom in the morning. We are leaving at 10:15 to go to swimming and we will get back right at lunch time.
You are more than welcome to come watch the lessons, but we ask that no parents come into the change room with us. Thank you for your understanding.
IF (or when) your child forgets their suit or towel, the pool has some extras we are allowed to borrow. They may not fit and they have definitely been worn by others (they are washed), so please try not to forget.
New Spelling Words
A- five, time, like, dime, nine, my, by, like, cone---practicing that bossy 'e' again
B- place, make, making, help, here, want, nice, to, two, into
C- rocket, pocket, hold, told, often, grow, throne, so, sew, most, almost, both, coach
Reminder to return Library books! We will have Library time tomorrow, Tuesday!
Scholastic Orders came out last week. It says to be returned by the 9th (Friday), but Monday (12th) will be fine.

Swimming Forms
Swimming Forms are due tomorrow!!! We start swimming next Tuesday! We are sending in the ability forms tomorrow so the Pool Staff can group the kids accordingly.
On the first day it takes away swimming time if we have to regroup a bunch of kids! Let's get those forms in :)
Today was a Day 3 so we got to go on Mathletics. We did some Shape and Objects questions and then some of us were able to go on free time Mathletics and then play Live Mathletics! Get your child to show you how it works!
At the end of the day we talked about Mental Health. What is it? Why is it important? We watched a video explaining some of the importance related to Mental Health using movie clips from Inside Out. Talk with your child about the importance of expressing their emotions. We had some great conversations about it today!
Keep reading those Home Reading Books and bring them back on Friday!

New Spelling Words and DRESS UP!
Before we received our new Spelling Words we had a mini lesson on Bossy E!
We learned that if the letter 'e' is at the end of a word, it often makes the vowel around it say it's name. It can only be 1 letter away. For example: cap -> cape, tap->tape, at->ate, cut->cute.
Group A- make, lake, shake, came, game, ate, tape, *come
Group B- *some, *come, home fun, funny, run, running, ran, us, use
Group C- pitch, drink, swim, life, while, I, my, light, buy, eye, which, find, kind, why, try
* = doesn't follow the Bossy E rule!
TOMORROW is Dress as your Favourite Book Character! If you've read a book with Belle then dress as her! If you've read a book about Spiderman....he's your guy! Get creative and dress up as anything you can find at home. ***NO MASKS*** We also still have gymnastics, so please keep that in mind! I'm dressing up too! Can't wait to see all your costumes tomorrow!
We also spent time today decorating our door with one of our favourite books. The Book With No Pictures! Your children are so smart that they know we don't need pictures to enjoy a good book!
