Congratulations Royal Oak students and families, you are amazing! Our totals are in and you have raised $16,514 for the Heart and Stroke Foundation! Way to go! Prizes will arrive at our school by the end of the week. Thank you to everyone that contributed to this special cause.

1) Stampede Breakfast: is this Friday at 7:30 am. Pancakes will be served till around 8:30 but families are free to socialize till around 9:00. 

2) Shoe boxes needed: As part of our inquiry work students will be building habitats for the animal they are researching. If you could send a shoe box in with your child  to assist them in building their animal habitat that would be extremely helpful. We will also accept any extra shoe boxes you may have for students who do not have a shoe box. Thank you for your continued support.

Wow we have sure been busy this week.

Earlier in the week we walked up the William D. Pratt to watch Willy Wonka. The students at Pratt put on an amazing performance. You can ask me about my favourite part!

We have also been hard at work researching our animals in inquiry. Ask me about what we have been learning while researching our animals.

In math we started a new subtraction problem. The grade 1 teachers are having a hard time because animals keep eating vegetables out of their gardens. Ask me to show you how I would draw a vegetable garden with carrots, potatoes, and onions. Then ask me how many vegetables the skunk ate and how I can show my work. You can use the question below and change the numbers.

1) Home Reading: If you have not returned your home reading please bringing it back in next week. Thanks
