Parent Teacher/Student Led Conferences
Information came home today about booking appointments for conferences - March 20 (415-8) and 21st (8-12:30). Please take a moment to book a 15 minute time slot using our online conference manager at https://webapps.cbe.ab.ca/MyAccount/Account/LogOn

Students will have a chance to share their learning with their parents/guardians - they're very excited to show you all of the hard work they've done!

Please note: please book a 15 minute appointment, but allow yourself an additional 15 minutes to run through some activities with your child. There will be two videos to watch plus an exit interview where you and your child will set goals for the next term.

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns - or would like my assistance in booking an appointment, please do not hesitate to contact me!


Scholastic Book Fair March 18th - 21st
The Learning Commons will be transformed into a book store for 4 days.
It will be open every morning from 9:30 am -12:00 pm, and on Thursday, March 21st during conferences from 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm.

Students are coming home today with a preview of some of the books that will be available. 

Two volunteers needed for 20 minutes each day.  One volunteer to assist with set-up at 9:15 am, and another volunteer to put away the books at 12:00 pm.  If you can help, please email me at ktreimer@cbe.ab.ca or phone Vista Heights School (403)777-6000.

EE words
Today we went on a hunt for words that have 'ee' in them. Students came up with the following list.
Over the weekend, please have your child look for more 'ee' words and write sentences using these words. How are these words different from other 'ee' sounding words. Next week we will visit other sounds that make a similar sound (ea, y)

Alien In-line skating
Today was our last day of skating. We had an amazing experience with our wonderful instructor Mr. Dan. A video of our skating experience will be playing during our conferences next week.

Reminders
- We are still collecting bottles for the bottle drive
- Last day of iPod club is on Tuesday
- Some students came home with a title page called Have You Seen Birds. They have offered to draw a titled page for our class book.

Thanks,

Ms. Toor
