Well the May flower's are starting to sprout and the sun is shinning brightly to fill our days with some cheer!
The year is moving quickly and we are working hard at accomplishing all our tasks.
This month is a very busy month, especially for our grade 3's who will be writing their EQAO's beginning the end of this month.
Good Luck to you all!
Congratulations to Cole Hirniak for winning the student of the month award for his hard work with persevering through all his work done within class and also on the play ground!
Miss Fehr would like to thank all the grade 3/4's for the past 6 weeks! I have had a wonderful experience with you all and will never forget it! You have all showed a lot of hard work and are the most wonderful group of 3/4's a teacher could ask for! Make sure to stay focused, be happy, and have fun and all your true colours will shine through for the rest of the world to see:)
