Just a reminder that Student-Led Conferences will take place on Thursday between 3:00pm-8:00pm and on Friday 8:00am-1:00pm. If you have not yet registered please do so through My CBE account.
Please bring your child with you as they will be assuming the role of a teacher, educating you on their achievements, challenges and learning goals as they lead you through examples and experiences that showcase their learning and hard work.
Keep in mind that the scheduled slots are 1 hour long, and there may be up to four families in the classroom at a time. Your family may come to our classroom anytime within your designated 1 hour time slot that works best for you.
See you then!

Dear families,
We had 2 students read a book to us on the intercom this afternoon. They read The Sandcastle Contest by Robert Munsch. - M.Z.
We had Captain Loewen from the Calgary Fire Department read us a story in the gym called The Fire Station by Robert Munsch. -I.K.M.
Remember to bring books in to donate for Literacy Week. For every 2 books you bring in you get 1 ticket to get a "new to you" book. -M.A.K.
We started our poetry folders today. We had to find repetition, alliteration, and onomatopoeia in the poem. - G.N. and D.K.
Today some students started typing their good copy of their Matryoshka doll story. Some people are getting close to finishing creating their book. - I.B. and C.S.
We had a lockdown drill this morning. - X.D.
Have a good evening,
Mrs. Melindy and the Students in Room 5

Literacy Week
From Monday, March 19th to Thursday, March 22nd, Lake Bonavista School will be celebrating literacy!
Throughout the week, students from the grade 6 Students In Action Club will be coordinating the Book Drive and Exchange to promote love of reading. They
will also be treating us to daily read aloud of their favourite books
In addition, there are some school-wide activities happening:
Monday - Community Member Read-Aloud
Tuesday - Author Visit
Wednesday - Teacher Swap
Thursday - Family Literacy Morning, Pyjama Day and Book Exchange
On Thursday, March 22nd, we invite you to join us from 10:30am - 11:30am for a Family Literacy Morning! Snuggle up with your child and a book in various
locations around the school. You can also take this time to visit the Book Exchange in the gymnasium, and help your child decide how to spend their book tickets.
Because of the numbers of people we expect, please find alternate care for siblings that do not attend Lake Bonavista School.
A reminder that Thursday, March 22nd is an early-dismissal.
Book Drive and Exchange!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Did you know… over 15 million Canadian adults will have low literacy by 2031? We at LBS know the importance of learning to love reading and all kinds of books! We also want to share that passion with others!
Literacy week is coming and the Students in Action are organizing a BOOK DRIVE/EXCHANGE!
Please donate any books you don’t want anymore to our book drive. For every 2 books donated, your child will receive one book ticket.
YES that means that if you donate 40 books, your child will receive 20 tickets and be able to choose 20 books to take home from all our collected books!
We will be collecting and organizing all the donated books in the gym for selection on Thursday March 22nd from 10:30 to 11:30.
So, what will happen to all the extra books collected and not chosen? We are so glad you asked that! The extra books will be donated to a school or organization in need. Students in Action are very excited to be able to give back to our community as well as offer a book exchange for the students of LBS.
Please help us to make a difference by sending in your gently used children’s books for the book drive. We kindly ask that the books are in good condition and do not have any significant damage. The books donated need to be appropriate for children aged 2 to 14. This would include: fiction, non-fiction, comic books, graphic novels, chapter books and picture books.
Thank your your support!
Kind Regards,
Student’s in Action.

Dear families,
This morning we made perogies in the staffroom. - T. J.
We got to eat our perogies after lunch today. They were two enthusiastic thumbs up! - M.K.
Today we had an assembly about composting, recycling, reducing, and reusing and landfills. - I.K.M.
Today we made 97 perogies and only 87 of them worked. That is because 9 of them opened when they were boiled and Mrs. Melindy dropped 1 on the floor. Oops! - D.Ki.
Today we had Little Ceasars for Fun Lunch. - G.N.
On Monday Jennifer Stables is coming to our classroom to teach us the next step in making our Matryoshka dolls. - D. Ki.
We went snowshoeing this afternoon. - M. Z.
Tomorrow is the weekend! - I.B.
A big thank you goes out to our two parent volunteers that helped us make perogies this morning. We couldn't have done it without you!
Have a good weekend!
