We are very excited to announce that famed children's author Kenneth Oppel is coming to West Vancouver on Tuesday, May 13th and that the Grade 5's are going to his author talk. Yesterday, our school librarian challenged the kids to read at least one (but there are many more!) of his books in preparation for the talk. Now there's some great Spring break reading!

Bowling pictures
I ran around with the camera all afternoon, and as I upload the pictures tonight, I realize I didn't catch all of the 2M-5G buddies in action. I'll make sure we have a picture of everyone together before the year is through, and my apologies if I didn't snap one this time around! So, here are a handful of pictures from our Buddies Bowling - a fun afternoon for everyone!
Countdown!
The term has flown by and it is hard for me to believe that we are wrapping up. I have loved being the teacher of this fabulous group, and I thank everyone for being so patient and flexible during the transition.
This week we will focus on Science Fair and essay composition in addition to our daily routines. The decimal unit in Math is underway and any additional support you can offer at home will surely help your child - reviewing place value up to the thousandths will be a great advantage. I have linked some websites to the left for the children to explore.
Thursday is our Mining Field Trip (it's my first time going and I'm excited!), and Friday is Rodeo Day. On Friday, children can come to school in western wear so I'm looking forward to seeing lots of plaid and denim.
More updates to follow throughout the week.

Bowling information for Friday, March 7th
If you would like to join 5G and 2M in our bowling fun, please meet us at the alley (North Shore Bowl, 141 West 3rd Street in North Van) around 12:45 pm.
If you would like to pick your child up from the alley, please be there by 2:15 pm.
It will be a great way to end off our week. It is always so wonderful to see the relationship between the two grades grow as our 5G buddies help the little ones with their school work, carefully choose books to read to them and patiently listen to their 2M buddy tell them about their day. It is a fun time of our week, and I'm happy that 2M has organized this great activity for us!

Ms. Gretzinger loves to take photos...
We had a great time at Joseph! Our class were exemplary audience members, and they make me so proud.
