Just a note to parents, that Mrs. Pinder sent home an information bulletin today regarding the 2012-2013 school year.  It is informing parents about student placements/classroom compositions, school agendas, school supplies and Anne of Green Gables drama play. This goes to the youngest child in the family, you should find this in your childrens' HEART books.

Count down is officially on to the end of the school year!  Only 14 more days until the infamous LAST DAY OF SCHOOOL!  Wow!  What a fast year! Friday, Mrs. Pinder gave us official word that there will be no school on Friday the 22nd of June.  Instead, the last day of school will be on the 21st of June.  It is a Thursday, and it will be a full day of school, but that is the day that report cards will be going home.  This week there are lots of fun things going on.  The biggest being Friday!  Mr. Flynn will be taking you to the High Elements course at MVHS.  You will be walking up as soon as the Harkins Middle School teachers are finished their talk to you about going to Middle School at 10:30-11:30.  Everyone will love this experience.  Tuesday is walking club again.  It is around the track this day, so we will be meeting at Harkins Middle.  Come get in your 2k walk for the Go For 42 Program!!! The rest of the week will run as normal.  I hope we all have a great week.  The time will fly by now!
Yes folks!  You read it right!  June 1st!  We are officially in the final month of school, and the final months of this class attending Harkins Elementary School.  In four weeks they will be officially middle schoolers.  Scary! We have another busy week!  We kick off Monday with the final of the math assessments.  We will all be glad when this is over and done with.  Mr. Flynn is very pleased with what he has seen thus far.  Way to go boys and girls! Tuesday, of course, is our Harkins Has Healthy Hearts walk at Strawberry Marsh this week.  Please meet in the parking lot of Miramichi Mall at 3:45 to start the walk right at 4pm.  Hump Day is Skipping Club at Nelson Rural School gym with Mrs. Barry, but I will be there too if anyone is interested in coming along.  Mrs. Barry attended the National Skipping Competition in Moncton the other weekend and has some great things to share.  It is from 4-5pm.  Bring your skipping rope and water bottle because it is a great work out!  As well on Wednesday, I am finally going to get in our Science test on the Digestive System.  It was post-poned due to assessments.  I didn't want to overwhelm my class with all the testing. Thursday, we are spending the day with our Croft Buddies.  We will be going over there in the morning and then in the afternoon they will be coming over and we will be viewing their projects as well we will be having a visit and Mr. McGinn who has went to Egypt and is going to present what his experience was. Friday, I am in Moncton for meetings, but you will have a supply teacher for the day.  You will be continueing on your humor unit in literacy, and then working hard on Ancient Greece!  Like I said, we have a very filled week, and we will from here on out.  Get lots of rest, and come prepared to work!

Another five day week ahead of us!  Yipee!  That means we can learn lots this week! First thing Monday is the launch of the "Go for 42" program that has been in our school system for quite some time now.  The kids are asked to walk or run 2km/night for the next four weeks and then on June 24th they will meet at the Civic Center to finish their last 2ks of their marathon.  Hopefully we will have lots of participation from this class.  I know I will be there with my own children, so come and run with us. All week, whenever possible, we will be working on our Social Studies projects since they are all due on Friday.  If you are finished your projects all ready, don't worry, I have other things in store for you. Don't forget about the "Harkins Has Hearthy Hearts" walk this week on Tuesday.  Great time to get in your 2km for the Mango Go for 42!  They meet at Harkins this week to do the track.  Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Study hard all week, because on Friday, you will have your test for the Spell-a-thon.  The winner in this class gets a medal and the top three get certificates.  Good luck class! Last but not least, I am asking that your mystery stories that we have been working on about the Titanic be completed this week.  We are almost finished our mystery unit, and do not want to have these loose strings.  I'm anxious to start our Humour unit, and I know you will love it too!  On Friday there are only 23 school days left...SCARY!!!!

Welcome to the first week of May!  Yeah!  I love the month of May and all the wonderful weather that accompanies it.  Let's hope for a great one! Another short week is in store for this week.  Only a three day week, but a very busy one at that.  We have Mr. Duplessie coming to help us with our Titanic Documentary on Monday.  Then Tuesday we are continuing with our new Social Studies unit, which I am very excited for!  We will be writing letters to our friends at Croft in hieroglyphics, and then they will write us back.  How much fun is that?  Don't forget the walk at French Fort Cove for Harkins has Healthy Hearts!  They will be meeting at 4pm Wednesday, and our final day, will be our test on the Titanic, so we can close up this unit!  I know everyone will do great on it! Here is to a great week.  Work hard, and have fun!

We were very fortunate today!  We had special visitors from Croft walk over to sneak a peek at our wonderful Titanic projects.  Each group took turns presenting their project and share their knowledge in their chosen subject area about the Titanic to the Croft students.  I am quite confident that the students taught them many important facts about that fatal night! In May, it is our turn to take the walk over to see their Egypt projects, and since we are finally almost finished with our Titanic project, we will be starting the Ancient Egypt projects as well.  I can't wait!!
