Thank you so much, Division 1,  for the surprise early birthday party!  Thank you especially to Taj, Hillary, Perneet and Anmol and Ms. Sandhu for organizing it as well as Ms. McQuillan, Ms. Walia and Mrs. Grewal.  The cake, decorations and food were lovely and totally unexpected.

Dress as follows for the fieldtrip:

What to bring:

• On warm sunny days bring swimming shorts and/or a swimsuit, and bring a towel.
• If you prefer you may bring shoes that can get wet, such as good walking sandals with grip that are strapped to your feet. In colder weather rain boots and warm wool socks. No flip flops or crocs please. Remember to bring spare dry shoes for later.
• Layer of polypropylene long underwear, polar fleece, or a thin wool sweater for anyone who may get chilled easily or during cooler temperatures
• Plastic bag in which to put wet clothes and shoes after you change.

• Rain gear, jackets and pants if it’s forecast for a wet day.
• Bring your sunscreen and leave any valuables & jewellery at home

Monday, May 1st

Happy May 1st! We've been busy painting and Mr. Laroya is the best teacher ever. Whenever I need to leave the class, it's always so relieving to know that I am leaving my class in his capable hands. The gratitude that I feel for his sheer existence is almost indescribable! Mr. Laroya, if you are ever able to read this...Thank you for being you!

And no - none of the above was written by me.  This is what happens when I leave the room for 20 minutes and Mr. Laroya is here.

Reminders:

- math page 197 # 1- 9

- research your local candidate.

- Friday is a pro-d

- note recognition quiz to be signed for Mr. Tse for Wednesday
