We are also at the time of year when we are low in class supplies. It would be great if all students had refreshers of pencils, erasers, etc. for the remainder of the year. Also, it is super important to hydrate, drink water, at school. It is better than juice which often has too much sugar.
Please check the school newsletter and calendar for other events.
As mentioned, free swim lessons have been offered at Rainbow Road  Pool. This is a great opportunity, and I am sure that all students will benefit in honing their skills and staying fit.

Another issue that has come up recently is that quite a few students, more than usual, are asking for food or saying that they do not have enough in theirs lunches. Please make sure that you talk to your child about lunches and snacks. We do have some extra food, and the kids are very good about sharing, but maybe there just needs to be a bit more food provided.

Sorry about the lack of info on this blog. I am currently setting up another site that will be more secure. I am uncomfortable with this type of blog which is open to the world wide web.
If you have concerns you can always email me, call me, or see me at school.
In Math we are currently working on fractions. In writing we are exploring various short poetry forms. In Science we are growing plants and we will soon be raising butterflies.
We will be moving into our track and field unit in PE.
Please check the Fulford newsletter for school wide activities.
