Mrs. Barker's Grade Three Class

Hello Families! “Blogging” is a school wide project that is being taken on by the teachers at MMH school. We will cut down on the amount of paper that travels home with this cool, creative and interactive technology tool! There are links to great learning websites on the subject pages for your child. If at any time you have any suggestions of what you’d like to see on the blog, please let me know and we’ll see if we can make that happen! Here is my email address: corrina.barker@lethsd.ab.ca

News for Mrs. Barker

Dear Parents:

A letter is coming home with your child today with some important information.

It is hard for me not to be sad at the moment as my last teaching day will be this Friday (November 2).

I have had an absolute fabulous time with your child over the last few months.

Please know that I will still be doing your child's report card.

As hard as it is for me to leave...it is now time for me to focus on the arrival of my first child.

I look forward to popping in throughout the year to see how the kids are doing. I will definitely bring "baby" by for a visit.

Mrs. Brenda Ridder will be taking over teaching for me as of Monday, Nov. 5!

Please come in to meet her at time that works for you.

Thanks helping make the first few months of school such a great time!

Mrs. Barker

Learning about ear damage!

LEARNING ABOUT HOW TO KEEP OUR EARS SAFE!

Today we learned how ear damage cannot be reversed!!

Thank you to the special gal for being my helper! Every time she did some "pretend scenario" that I set up that hurt her ears/hearing she had to pick up a back pack to carry. She never got to put a backpack down.

LESSON HERE....

HEARING DAMAGE TO EARS CANNOT EVER BE FULLY REVERSED!

Challenge Question - Oct 16

HOT LUNCH

HOT LUNCH ORDERS DUE TOMORROW.

PIZZA HOT LUNCH IS COMING UP. PLEASE SEND IN YOUR ORDER TOMORROW.

Please Note:

Hot lunch is a little different this year. There will only be the "hot" item for sale. There will be no milk, juice, chips or cookies sold this year.

Your child will need to bring the other items for their lunch on hot lunch day. So they will need a juice box and any other snacks they want to have with the pizza. :)
