Endurance Run Pictures
We had a very exciting day at the Endurance Run last Friday! The weather was perfect and our class did SO GREAT! A few of the students even got medals! Austin made us proud by winning first for all of Grade One! Way to go Austin!
I love these pictures because they finally look like summer pictures!
Now that you have had your daily dose of happiness, I will counter that by confirming the rumors that I am moving at the end of July. My hubby got into a school in Detroit so we are moving to Windsor, Ontario. I feel so grateful to have been able to work in such an incredible school for my first two years of teaching. The staff at this school consists of the most talented teachers and assistants I know and they have been an incredible example to me of how to not only teach to the highest standard, but truly care for students.
I love each of your children for who they are and I have had a blast teaching them this year! They are all so special and kind. Thank you for trusting me and supporting me. You get great kids because of great parents so you should all be very proud, your kids have represented you well.
Ok that's enough mushy stuff, I'm just feeling all sorts of things and they got splattered onto this page.
Have a great week!

The top 3 runners from each class will be in the race so from our class we have:
I sent home Field Trip forms today. I know they aren't due for quite a while, but if you send them back ASAP, it will prevent them from getting lost! We are going bowling in the morning of June 12 (leaving at 9:15) and then returning to the school in time for lunch. In the afternoon, we will be going swimming at the Raymond Pool until 2:00. It should be a really fun day, I'm hoping for beautiful weather!
We are very fortunate to be able to go swimming at the Raymond Pool in the month of June! Our swimming times are:
The Cardston Kids' Marathon is on June 18. Marathon Club kids will be swimming in the afternoon and those who are not in the Marathon Club will be swimming in the morning.

All proceeds from the concession will go to the Music program to help fund new instruments. If your child does not want to purchase a hamburger, they will need to bring their lunch. A note was sent home today regarding the Sports Day with an order form attached for the meal. All orders are due May 29.
Just a reminder that if your child is running miles at home for the Marathon Club, please write it down in their agenda (how far they ran) and I will record it in their log books!
Thanks for checkin' in!

Marathon Club information
I hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather! It was the perfect week to start Marathon Club. Almost every student in our class joined! Each student was given a Raymond Marathon Club book that was filled with information on healthy living tips and activities, plus their log book to record the amount of running they have done. I sent home all of the papers from their books today other than their log papers.
We record the distance they have run every day from running with Marathon Club in their books at school. If your child runs/walks at home, please record the distance (in miles-take a guess if you don't know) in their agenda and I will transfer that to their log book. Keep in mind that they need to run 26.2 miles before the Cardston Kids Marathon on June 18!
May 7 is "Hats On For Mental Health" Day where we will be talking about mental health issues and raising awareness. Students are encouraged to wear a hat that day to support mental health!
The grade one's won a Pizza Day because we had the best Lemonade Celebration in the school! Thankfully, Mrs. Gilmour let us tag along to her pie-eating contest (Mr. Hogg vs. Mrs. Ross) so we get to reap the rewards! Our Pizza Day will be on Tuesday, May 6, so don't bring a lunch!

Marathon Club and Easter
First of all, sorry about the lack of posts! Today's post is going to be jam-packed so thank you for reading.
We have been busy learning some more reading strategies to look for during our reading time. We learned the sound of "or" by making S'mores and have also been learning a song about "when two vowels go walking, the first one does the talking". That means that if two vowels are beside each other in a word, the first one says its name. For example, in the word coach, the o says its name.
We have a few important events coming up this week!
First of all, we have the One Book One School Closing Assembly on Wednesday, April 16. We will be wrapping up our book "The Lemonade War" that you have been reading at home. Try to finish the book before Wednesday because we will be celebrating the conclusion of the story. Parents are welcome to come to the assembly that starts at 2:00.
Pizza Day is on Wednesday, April 16.
Marathon Club registration forms are due on Thursday, April 17. Marathon Club is a huge event at the school where students get to run twice a week outside and then finish their final mile in the marathon in Cardston at the Cardston Kids Marathon. Not only is it fun fun fun, but it is great exercise for the kiddies!
We had SO much fun on Friday decorating eggs! Thank you, thank you to all of the parents who donated eggs. We had so much support that each student got to decorate 5 eggs each! We did some traditional vinegar-dye and crayon eggs, and then tried some shaving cream and food coloring eggs. The latter method was a ton of fun, but was quite messy! I apologize for the dyed hands that went home on Friday and I am fully going to blame it on my husband who was in charge of that station, haha.
Easter Holidays start on April 18 (Good Friday) and school resumes on April 28.
Now for the fun stuff-Picture Overload!!
The fun begins with our "S'mores" lesson on the "or" sound. When then wrote about "How to Make a S'more".
Here we begin our egg decorating adventures!
