Monday Apr16



On Monday, May 14th all of our grade one classes will be walking up to William D. Pratt to watch the play “Willy Wonka” performed by their students.

We will leave the school at approximately 9:30am to be ready for the 10:00am performance.  The play will be 75 minutes long.  Once it is completed we will return to Royal Oak School to finish our day.

Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for this short walk.  A weatherproof jacket and closed toed shoes are recommended.

Students will only need to bring their usual snack to school on this day.
Inquiry
This week in inquiry we have been very busy building our community models so that we are ready for the Celebration of Learning. Ask me about where I am in the building process. We also had our second circle of courage club today. Ask me about how it went.

Note:

With the weather warming up, it's going to be slushy outside and puddles will be very tempting for students! We encourage parents to pack an extra pair of pants and socks in your child's backpack in case they get wet at recess.

Needs and Wants In Inquiry, students are discussion the difference between Needs and Wants. Students brainstormed and discussed in small groups their personal needs and wants. Then, we discussed our community needs and wants. Ask your child what they believe is essential in our community and why. Toys, Watches and others distractions We are asking everyone to be thoughtful about the items in students’ backpacks.
