“Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were, but without it we go nowhere.”
― Carl Sagan

 

Well, there was no lack of imagination at your homes this weekend!  The children were so excited to tell me about their Leprechaun adventures!  Well done!  You did a splendid job!  Those pesky leprechauns seemed to be very nice leprechauns as many left behind treats!!!

 

A few dates to add to your calendar:

 

Parent Teacher Interviews - Monday March 25  3:30 to 8:00 and Tuesday March 26 3:30 to 6:00.  Report cards will go home on Friday so check for the interview time included in the report card.  If you have not indicated a time yet, please email me before 8:00 am tomorrow as we will be scheduling times.

 

April 17 is Agriculture Education Day at the Lloydminster Exhibition Grounds.  We will be taking a bus, going somewhere for lunch and hopefully, another venue.  I will let you know more after I have an opportunity to plan with Ms. Hermanson as the Grade Two class also goes to Ag Ed. Days.  Parents are welcome to join us.

 

April 18 - Hillmond Oratory

Each year grade 1-3 participates in Oratory which is basically Public Speaking.  We present a class oral poem and each student is expected to present an individual poem.  These can be published or original (not published but written by the student and/or parent).

There is usually an interschool Oratory which we have hosted for the past few years.   Onion Lake may host this year.  We will not be hosting as our school yard is slated to be under construction in early May so we will not have a play structure.

I will send all the details about Oratory before the Easter Break.

 

Sight word testing will resume this Friday!
