At School:

We had a wonderful trip to the zoo on Friday, where we explored various animal exhibits and learned about Burrowing Owls.



Math: We explored angle relationships and practiced measuring angles with a protractor. We also examined the geometric properties of different polygons, such as equal or unequal side lengths, number of angles, complementary and supplementary angles, as well as parallel and perpendicular lines.

In Literacy: We compared and contrasted the ways plants and animals get their food, and we also wrote about our exciting zoo field trip on Tuesday!

In Science: We learned about the different stimuli that plants can sense and how they respond to them. We also explored how animals use their sensory organs to find food, avoid danger, and interact with other animals.


Looking Forward:

Join us for our Grade Four Farewell on Friday, June 20 at 11:00 a.m. in the gym, as we celebrate our amazing Grade Fours! We’ll be rehearsing on Thursday afternoon to prepare for the big day.

SPORTS DAY Volunteers Needed

There are a few spots left if you are interested in helping with Sports Day.

This year, Sports Day will take place on Tuesday, June 24 with two sessions:

  • Morning Session: 9:00-10:30 AM (AM Kinders, grades 3 and 4)

  • Afternoon Session: 1:00-2:15 PM (PM Kinders, grades 1 and 2)

We have 22 stations this year, so we'll need lots of hands on deck. Volunteers will meet in the gym at the start to receive instructions on setting up, running stations, and returning equipment to the gym afterward. Mr. V. will provide all necessary equipment and an instruction sheet for each station. 

Morning volunteers should plan to be at the school from 8:20 to 10:45, and afternoon volunteers from 12:20 to 2:30. 

Only those who have been cleared in the office can volunteer for this event.

Here is the link below if you would like to help.

Outstanding Fees

This week, families will receive statements sent home if they are still owing fees.

Please log into your CBE Account to ensure your account is cleared for this school year.

If you need help logging into your account, please contact the office.

Outstanding fees will remain on accounts moving into next year. 


Transportation for 2025-26

Transportation Registration is now available through your CBE Account.

Families must register each year if they require busing for their student.

Families must register by Sunday, June 22, 2025 for students to be added to routes for the start of the next school year.

CBE will accept registrations after the deadline; however, students are added to the closest existing bus stop with available space. Processing times for registrations submitted after the June 22 deadline will be delayed.

Confirmed routes are posted in August. For those who register after the June 22 deadline, it may take until mid-October before your child is able to ride the bus.

Transportation can be cancelled with no financial impact by submitting the cancellation form by Sept. 30, 2025. Fees will be added to accounts in October 2025.

I would love to start by introducing myself. I’m Carolyn Wickenheiser and I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to be your child’s teacher for the rest of the school year. Our time together is off to a great start! We had a wonderful first week together as we settled back into consistency, routine and expectations here at MTS. As I am sure you may have heard, Mrs. Siarkiewicz’ beautiful baby boy, Arias, was born on December 29th, 2024. He is absolutely adorable and we are extremely happy for her as she welcomes her new bundle of joy!                                         At School: In Literacy: After reading Martin’s Big Words by Doreen Rappaport, we discussed our “Big Words” for 2025. Students were asked to write about one word that was important to them this year and then they created agamographs.       In Word Work: This week we focused on the prefix multi-. A...

Hi families,  We had Mr. Mike Hebenton, our acting principal, read a story to our class on World Read Aloud Day (Wednesday). The students were so respectful and welcoming that he wanted to come back in and read Jumanji to them on Thursday! At School: In Math:  This week we shifted from multiplying 3-digit by 1-digit numbers to dividing them! Students were taught the Area Model Strategy. It was a challenge for some students as there are quite a few steps to remember. Here are the steps and an example in case you would like to work on this strategy at home. Next week, we will start long division.                                               In Literacy:  We talked about our topic sentences in our paragraphs and how we could enhance them in our writing. We discussed 4 different kinds of topic sentences and students chose their own topic and practiced writi...

At School: In Literacy:  We wrote a paragraph about our favorite thing! Students were encouraged to use an If..Then, Even..though, Since or When topic sentence, 3 details to support their topic sentence, and a strong concluding sentence like we discussed.  In Math: Students were given a mid-point assessment on multiplication and division. They were given this assessment back on Wednesday to take home. There is still time to practice before our unit test in March. A huge thank you to families who are working on basic multiplication facts at home! While students have multiplication charts as tools in their desks from the fall, the expectation is to know multiplication facts automatically without using the multiplication chart. Please continue to work with your child on multiplication basic facts whenever possible and we will continue to work on them in school as well. This week, students were introduced to long division and that will be our focus for the next week or two. ...
