Dear Parents of Grade 4 Students,

On behalf of my own family and the staff at OLS, I would like to wish all of you a very happy new year and all the best for 2012.  

The class is gradually getting into shape this week (they were quite a tired lot on Tuesday).  They enjoy being together again and really enjoy challenges in the class.  We have plenty of fun and challenges coming up. 

The provincial FSA testing will occur starting in February.  We continue to prepare the students for this experience both in Grade 4 curriculum and in basic skills on the computer. I will be posting more information closer to the date.

We are full swing practicing Rime of the Ancient Mariner for our puppet movie.   We are currently starting the puppets and working on a choral speaking soundtrack.  I have asked students to try to bring in fabric pieces.   We need  (per puppet)  two pieces of  10” X 15” fabric.   The fabric should be sturdy enough to glue on various accessories.   We also need various craft supplies such as wool, craft eyes, and smaller fabrics.   If any parent can come to help in class, that too would be appreciated. Please send me a note if you can help!

Sincerely,  Mr. Stocker
