What's Been Happening in Room 110?

During Eco Week, the Kindergarten classes heard a presentation by Liz, an environmental instructor.  The Senior Kindergarten students worked together with the teacher in small groups to write the article that follows.                                               

Liz's  Eco  Presentation - March 24, 2015

Written  By  the  Senior  Kindergarten  Students in Room 110

Today Liz came to our school.  She told us about how to keep the environment clean.  We learned about the 4 Rs:  Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and Respect.  We need to respect the world.  We want to reduce, reuse and recycle so we make less garbage.

                      

Lots of plastic garbage goes into the oceans.  The animals and fish eat the garbage and get sick. We can take care of the world by using less plastic.  Do not use plastic water bottles.  Use reusable water bottles.  When we go shopping, we can use reusable bags instead of plastic shopping bags.

         

We  can  take  care  of  the  world!

Me to We Campaign Update

We have great news!  As of April 2nd, our class has raised enough money to buy one goat for a family overseas!  We have already started collecting toonies for a second goat - just 21 more toonies needed for the second goat!

Here is a challenge from Ms. Guerriero:  if the class raises enough money for a second goat, she will make a $50 donation in order for our class to donate a third goat. 

We will be collecting money for the 'Me to We Campaign' until April 10th.

Reminders for Thursday, April 2, 2015

This Thursday is 'Crazy Hair Day' at school, and we will be having our McMichael Art Gallery workshop!  In order to fully enjoy the art workshop on Thursday, we will be eating our lunches earlier that day. 

Me to We Campaign - Update

As you may know, our school is collecting twoonies to purchase goats for families in need overseas.  Each class has been given the challenge to collect 25 twoonies ($50) in order to purchase 1 goat.  The great news is that our class has already collected 16 twoonies!  We are just 7 twoonies away from reaching our goal.  

Help me change
the life of a family.

A big thank you to the families who have already contributed to our class campaign!  If you have not already made a contribution, please consider sending in your donation with your child as soon as possible.  

Special Chair & Crown Raffle

Thank you for supporting the Grade 7 students' efforts to raise money for their big trip to Niagara Falls!  The following 3 students each won a day this past week to sit on the special chair while wearing a crown:  Brian, Elinor and Lowen.


Mrs. Mateo and I are proud of         all the students in our class         for being good sports when their names were not chosen in the raffle! We think that you all deserve to sit in a special chair.
