Dear 5B Families,
I hope you all had a joyful and restful spring break! I’m so excited to welcome everyone back to begin our final term together. It was lovely to hear students sharing about their recent adventures, and I’ll be sharing with the class tomorrow a little about my own spring break too—my family officially became farmers!
Over the break, my family and our two cats welcomed three sheep (a mother and her two lambs) and two bunnies, adopted through Amy’s Bunny Barn, a wonderful rescue organization.
I’ll be posting more photos and videos on our class blog in the coming days—stay tuned!
Important Thursday Schedule Update:
Beginning this week, there will be a change to our Thursday schedule:
• Mrs. Catherine Hicks, our French teacher, will now be with 5B for the full day on Thursdays.
In addition, we’re happy to welcome back Ms. Brianna Wark, who has returned from maternity leave. She will also be teaching in our classroom on Thursdays from 9:00 to 10:00 a.m., leading the Fully Alive program, which beautifully connects concepts from our Religion curriculum with our Health education, including body science and healthy living. Ms. Wark will be reaching out to families in the coming week to introduce the program and what to expect.
Here’s our updated Thursday schedule:
• 8:45–9:00 – Silent Reading
• 9:00–9:30 – Fully Alive Program with Ms. Wark
• 9:30–10:00 – Language Arts project work block Ms. Wark
• 10:00–10:15 – Snack & Prayer
• 10:15–10:30 – Recess
• 10:30–11:45 – Language Arts with Mrs. Hicks (focus on spelling, grammar and conventions)
• 11:45–12:00 – Clean-up, Hot Lunch Prep & Prayer
• 12:00–12:15 – Lunch
• 12:15–12:55 – Recess

Track & Field Reminder:
If your child is interested in participating in Track and Field, please remember to return the permission form. We are committed to ensuring that every child who wants to participate will be supported so if financial assistance would help your family, please don’t hesitate to reach out to myself or the office.
What We’re Working On:
We’re jumping right back into learning this week! Students are:
• Reviewing equivalent fractions in Math
• Writing Five Senses Spring Poems
• Creating 3D sculptural art pieces for a very special Mother’s Day project
• Sharing spring break highlights in oral and written reflections
I’m looking forward to all the growth, creativity, and fun ahead!
