DRIVERS NEEDED!

Tomorrow we are off to the Southern Alberta Art Gallery to enjoy looking at the Arts Alive exhibit. There will be artwork included by MMH students as well as student across the entire city! Unfortunatley we are short drivers. I need spots for 4 more students. If you are able to help out please email me or call the school! Thank you so much!

Thank you to Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Andres, Danita, and Mrs. Sawa for helping us out tomorrow. We will see you at the school at 9:45 am. Hopefully we will find one more driver from now until then!

HOT LUNCH is tomorrow - May 25!

This Saturday May 28 is the MMH GARAGE SALE at the Exhibition Grounds from 9 am to 3pm! Please come on out and support this amazing event organized by our Parent Council. All of the money will be going towards our new playground!! I know it will be a successful event with your help!

R.A.H. (Reading at Home) starts this week! The pink note will be in your child's agenda. For every 15 minutes read please initial one of the boxes. Once the grid is complete the pink slip is returned and your child will be rewarded with a sticker for their sticker book! 15 mins per night would be great!

Spelling words this week are:

laugh - listen - because - special - about - write - which - their  - been - Lethbridge - would - joke - weekend - sometimes - many

Spelling City is a great link on the right hand side of this blog! Get your kids to use it to help them study for spelling. We tried a few games in class and the kids loved it!

Please be sure to send your child with good outdoor shoes and proper clothing in this rainy weather! It really helps cut down on the mud being tracked into the school! Thanks so much for your help!

Last week for ASSIGNED home reading...

Are you all sunburnt and sore from gardening and cutting the grass! How lovely to see the sun again!

This week there will be no HOMEWORK coming home for spelling BUT there are 15 words to study for the spelling test on Friday.

The words are:

could - school - together - people - every - awesome - of - should - really - pretty - friend - said - float - sink - used

This will be our last week for assigned home reading books. After this week your child can choose thier own chapter and picture books at home to read. There will be R.A.H ( reading at home) chart to initial for every 15 minutes read at home. Once the chart is filled in I will reward your child with a sticker for their sticker book and then send a new chart home. My hope is that each child will read 15 minutes a night. These charts will come home next Monday. Thank you for your help and support with this.

A HUGE THANK YOU to our home reading families who have been reading with our class everyday. Thank you Cheryl, Danita, Lorn and Jock! You have been a tremendous and important help to our class!

This week we are off to FEEL THE BEAT at SOUTHMINSTER church. Thank you to Mrs. Richardson, Danita, Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Andres and Sharron for driving us to and from this event. We will be leaving the school at about 9:10. We will see you in the classroom then. Thank you so much for your time!
