The Last Week!

Presentations: Just a quick note to all students in Team Green that we will be having a guest presentation on Monday and Tuesday afternoon.  Mr. Dave Derbowka will be in to talk to both classes about water issues in the North Okanagan.  Mr. Derbowka is an expert on ground water issues, and has been instrumental in protecting our water sources.  If any parent is interested in coming and listening, please let Mr. Martin know.

Food Drive:  Just a gentle reminder to Mr. Martin's class.  APPARENTLY, Mrs. Roylance sent in some "spies" to our classroom, and took pictures of our stash of food for the food drive.  APPARENTLY, she even accused us of cheating (all in a joking manner mind you!)  JC emailed me to let me know about these terrible accusations, and all I said to her in an email was "I'm sorry if my class has more community spirit than yours does!"  I am so proud of my class for issuing the challenge to the rest of the school, and for spreading the knowledge of how much good the local food bank does with the little resources they have.  I look forward to eating the popcorn that Mr. Findlay has agreed to purchase the winning classroom.

Cathy Peters:  Ms. McFarland and Mr. Martin will be working hard to mark all of the reading/writing assessments this week, and we hope to send home a snapshot of your child's abilities by the end of the week.  Our hope is to do this assessment three times this year, and be able to track the progress of your child.  For more information, please contact Mr. Martin or Ms. McFarland.
