It's that time again! Report cards go home on Monday and Student-led Conferences are on Wednesday. Here is a copy of the letter I sent home on Thursday, just in case it didn't make it to you.
Parents/Guardians,
This
is just a reminder that Student-led Conferences are coming up on Wednesday, March 19 from 3:30-5:30. Student-led Conferences are an opportunity for
your child to showcase their best work from the last term to you. They have
been working very hard on putting together their portfolios and practicing for
when you come! I have set up an open schedule, so you can drop by anytime
during 3:30 and 5:30.
Because
Student-led Conferences are a celebration of your child’s work, it is imperative that siblings do not
attend. This is one night where for
about 20 minutes they are the star of the show and the focus needs to be on
them. Thank you for your understanding.
If
you cannot make it to Student-led Conferences, please let me know and I can
send home your child’s portfolio with them and you can go over it at home
together. If you would like to meet privately to discuss your child’s progress,
please write a note in your child’s agenda, send me an email (carly.sefcik@westwind.ab.ca), or
talk to me during Student-led Conferences.
I
am excited to see all of you!
Mrs.
Carly Sefcik
This last week, every family in the school received the book "The Lemonade War" by Jacqueline Davies. Please make sure you are following the reading schedule at home because we will be doing activities at school that go along with the book and your child needs to be familiar with the material. So far, you need to have read Chapter 1 and 2.
Thank you for your patience with the Home Reading books from the last 2 weeks. I have been busy assessing your lovely children instead of doing my Guided Reading groups where we read together and switch our books out. Testing is all done now (yaay!) and our schedule will return to normal this week with new books going home on a regular basis.
Monday is St. Patrick's Day so make sure your kiddies wear green to school!
Wednesday is Pizza Day.
This past week we donated food (thank you!) for the food bank and then had "Drop Everything and Read" on Wednesday morning. We were so happy to have some parents come in and read with us! I love pictures of students reading. They look so peaceful!
Since we have been learning about pirates, we had a very special presentation from our "Pirate Expert". He was very knowledgable and put so much work into his presentation. Good job!
