We have a busy month coming up in Grade Three, so I thought I would give you a quick outline of all the special events in May.
Wed. May 11th is Hot Lunch Day. Forms are due back on Friday, May 6th.
Thurs. May 12th is the 50th Anniversary Celebration for M.R.E.S. All parents and former students are invited to attend this fun event from 1:00 to 2:30. The Grade Threes will be presenting a poem that they wrote as a class about M.R.E.S.
Tues. May 17th is the Grade 3 Provincial Achievement Test for Writing. Students will be writing a story based on a picture prompt at 9am. ALL STUDENTS MUST BE AT SCHOOL THIS DAY. Please make sure your child gets a good night’s sleep the night before and a good breakfast, so they are ready to do their best work and show Alberta what great writers they are.
Wed. May 18th is the Grade 3/4 field trip to Writing-On-Stone. There was an error on the school calendar, so please make sure you alter the date on that calendar from Monday the 16th to Wednesday the 18th. Thanks to all the parents who volunteered their help on this day. I will send more information about this trip closer to the date.
Mon. May 23rd is Victoria Day, so there is no school for students. Have a great long weekend!
Thurs. May 26th is the Grade 3 field trip to Lethbridge. The class decided they would like to go to the Southern Alberta Art Gallery, have lunch at my home, and visit the Westwind Gymnastics Club in the afternoon. I will be sending home a permission form next week for this trip. I am hoping to have a few parent drivers that would be willing to accompany us.
Phew! It’s a busy month, but it’s going to be a fun one. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact me. I cannot believe this school year is coming to an end so quickly! Thanks for all your help this year. I really appreciate everything you do in support of your children and this school.
