Happy Sunny Monday!
I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend! :)

• Book orders went home today. They are due back on May 3rd.
• Please return the paper maché eggs to school as soon as possible. Thanks!
• We are missing several books from our classroom library. These are books that would have been sent home for home reading and not returned. Please check around home to see if you have any of the books from school. Thank you!
• Thanks to everyone that has sent in science supplies and bottle caps. We will be starting our special project the end of this week.
• Picture proofs were sent home today. All orders are due back by April 26th.
• There will be a book swap at school this Friday, April 20th. Children can bring in books from home that they are no longer wanting and can switch them for new ones!
• Permission slips were sent home today for our field trip next week to the hockey game. Lunch is provided (hot dog, baked potato, carrots and white milk). If your child does not like these lunch items, he/she can brings his/her own lunch. Please return permission slips as soon as possible. There is no charge for the field trip.
• It was brought to my attention today that some parents are not checking the blog regularly and are therefore missing out on important information. I will be sending home a note tomorrow asking for you to check off whether or not you want paper copies of the blog posts sent home. Please return it as soon as possible.
• It appears that the spring weather has finally arrived! Hooray! Snow pants are not needed anymore, but it is recommended that children have splash pants, because the playground is often wet and muddy.
• A reminder that the Drama club will be taking part in the Drama Festival at 6 pm this evening at The Confederation Centre. They will be presenting their play "Faded Blossom Ninja Retirement Home" written and directed by Michael Pendergast.   Family members and friends are encouraged to come along to see the production!
• Today we had a very powerful presentation from Bluefield High's RAP team (RAP stands for: respect, accept, and protect). The high school students spent 90 minutes presenting about bullying - and how we can STOP bullying. We will continue to flex our superhero muscles and be active bystanders when we see bullying at school, on the bus, and at home. Some of the content from the presentation was very deep, so if your child is asking questions, that might be why. If you have any concerns or questions yourself, please contact me.

Have a wonderful week!

Mrs. Roberts :)
