 Today we:

-Conducted an experiment using the scientific method. We observed what happened visually and to the taste of water and lemon juice mixture without sugar, when sugar was added, and then when the sugar was stirred in. Ask me about what I observed and tasted during the experiment! We then brainstormed different ways that we could try recovering the sugar from the liquid. We left a cup of lemonade out over the weekend to see if evaporation would result in sugar being left in the cup on Monday.

Reminders:

-Parent Teacher Student Conferences are next week on Thursday evening and Friday. Please make sure you sign up for a 15 time slot so we can discuss your child's learning together.

LIBRARY BOOKS 

Students are once again able to take books home from our Learning Commons. Just a friendly reminder that students must return their library book each week. We have sent overdue notices home to families whose children have late books.  Lost or damaged library books must be paid for. Mrs. Barrowcliff has begun to send invoices home indicating the cost of the books. Please help us get all books back each week so all students can enjoy them and there is always lots of variety to choose from.  

 

SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR 

We are very excited to announce we will be having an in-person book fair during our Teacher Conferences. The book fair in the Northern Lights School Learning Commons on the evening of Thursday, November 24 from 4:30 – 7:45, as well as the morning of Friday, November 25 from 8:30 – 12:30.  We would love families to come by any time between these hours. Books make excellent Christmas gifts and for every book sold during the book fair, our school earns a percentage to get new books for our library.  

Thanks for your support! 

 

PICTURE RETAKES 

If you’re child needs picture retakes on Wednesday, you can send back the original proof sheet with them with a note to let the teacher know you would like them to do retakes.  

 

If your child was away for picture day (or joined us as your new school after picture day), they will also need to have their picture taken on Wednesday. 

 

Please make sure your child knows if they need a picture taken so when we make an announcement asking students from each grade to come down to the photographer, they go down to them.
