Good Afternoon Grosse Isle Families;

When we return on Monday, it will be JUNE! There are four very busy weeks left in the school year!

Track and Field Divisionals are on Monday, and it is forecasted to be hot.
Please ensure that your children have the following packed:
1. WATER – I would ask that every student has AT LEAST one large, labelled water bottle – we will also bring a water carrier to refill and they will be able to refill if necessary in the high school
2. HAT – I would ask that every student has a hat for the day
3. SUNSCREEN – if possible, please apply sunscreen in the morning, and if your child (like myself) is a ‘burner’ please have them pack sunscreen for the day, so that they are able to apply when needed
4. SNACKS & LUNCH – We are there for the day, but will not have access to microwaves – please pack a bag lunch. There will also be a canteen available, so you may also choose to send money in addition to snacks.
5. RUNNING SHOES, SHORTS, T-SHIRT –It is a very active and busy day, please ensure that you child has appropriate active clothing and footwear for the day.

Note: We have been working away on an updated school website. I am hoping that Friday Bulletins will be available there as well as all our ‘Looking Ahead’ dates in the calendar. https://gi.interlakesd.ca/ Please take a look, it is a work in progress so not all the links are live yet. But the Bulletin and Calendar sections are!

Good Afternoon Grosse Isle Families!

This week has been a whirlwind!  Track and Field this week went great! With several of our students ranking very high, and winning individual awards.  But as a whole school team, Grosse Isle won the small schools banner! This is an achievement that our students are very proud of, we are also exceptionally proud of their tenacity and work ethic as they prepared for the divisional event!  On Tuesday, we were finally able to take advantage of the very gracious invite by Inwood Golf and Country Club http://www.inwoodgolf.net/!  It was a wonderful day to be outside to learn more about a lifelong sport, and put the skills they had been learning in Phys. Ed into practice!

ELA News — https://gi.interlakesd.ca/2019/06/07/beginning-the-wrap-up-in-ela/

1. The 7/8’s will be writing and working through their final ELA assessment. It will be written Tuesday – Friday, from 9-11am with Mrs. Clemis.  We have made several changes to our schedule to ensure consistent timing and structure through the week to support our students.
2. The grade 6’s will be writing their RAD on Tuesday, this is a reading/writing fluency and comprehension assessment, this assessment is written twice a year by all students.
3. The 5’s and 6’s will begin their final TUSC presentations of the year on Monday, all students were reminded today to make sure that they are prepared.
4. I have attached a Reading Comprehension and Word Skill Strategy list – this has been reviewed with students. This is a helpful tool for our students writing ELA assessments in the coming week.  This may be a helpful tool for our students writing ELA assessments this week to review.

In search of:

• I am looking for 3-4 4 gallon pails (they make our tree watering a little easier).  If you have any laying the house or occupying space in a shed or garage they would be gratefully accepted here!
• I am also looking for about 6-8 empty pop bottles, if you have any they would also help us out with some watering.

Thank you!

Last week I was wishing you sun and warmth – this week I am hoping for some rain to help clear some of the warmth!  Have a lovely weekend!
