Dear Parents of Division 12,
As we approach the end of the year, we have a number of clean up tasks ahead of us. If any parents are able to volunteer their time this Thursday or Friday and help with these tasks, as well as cleaning up the open area, that would be much appreciated. Please email me to let me know if you are available to help: kjlonneberg@sd44.ca
I am also trying to send home extra classroom supplies. We seem to have several headphones without student names. Can you please email me if your son/daughter brought in headphones at the beginning of the year and I will do my best to return the headphones to you.
Many thanks,
Mrs. Lonneberg

Updates
Dear Parents of Division 12,
I have thoroughly enjoyed getting to know your children over
the past few weeks. It gives me great pleasure to be back in this classroom and
to have the opportunity to work with such an eager, respectful, cooperative and
exciting group of students. I am truly looking forward to finishing out the
school year with your children. In order to ensure a smooth transition, I have
been in communication with Mrs. Startup and Ms. Chand while on maternity leave.
In efforts to help your children with the transition, the classroom schedule
and many of the classroom routines have remained unchanged. We will continue to
carry on with the units of study that were underway when Ms. Chand was in the
classroom. I have also appreciated getting to know some of you over the past
few weeks as well. Should any questions or concerns arise, please feel free to
email me at kjlonneberg@sd44.ca
Thank you again for your continued support!
Sincerely,
Katherine Lonneberg
A few other important bits of information:
- We are in need of one parent volunteer to accompany us on the Primary Days of Music fieldtrip. If you are available on Tuesday, May 6th from 8:50-11:00, please let me know.
- Our beloved Lisa Gregson (school secretary) will be leaving Brooksbank to pursue another opportunity. Students are asked to bring in one flower on Thursday, which will be presented to her as part of her farewell celebration.
- A reminder that there will be no school on Friday, May 2nd due to the Professional Day.

Thank you!
Dear Parents of
Division 12,
I wanted to
express my gratitude for all of your cooperation and support over the past few
months. I have truly enjoyed teaching your children and watching them grow over
this period of time. They are a lovely class and I feel fortunate to have been
able to work with them. I greatly appreciate all of your time and cooperation,
without which our activities would not have been possible. Thank you very much!
I will be teaching
the class all day on Monday, April 14th; thereafter, Katherine Lonneberg will
be returning to the class. Katherine and I have been working together to ensure
the transition will be smooth for the students; moreover, I will be helping out
in the classroom over the next little while. The students are aware that I will
be within their reach and that they can visit me any time.
Thank you very
much!
Sincerely,
Jeeniece Chand
Important Events
Sharing - April 15th - April 17th
The theme for next week’s sharing will be “Introductions”. To help with introductions, Mrs. Lonneberg would like all of the students to bring in an artifact that they can use to talk about themselves during Sharing. As Mrs. Lonneberg will be in the class starting Tuesday, April 15th we will start Sharing on that day. Since it will be a shorter week, the Sharing schedule will be doubled on certain days.
Monday & Tuesday Sharing Group —> Tuesday April 15
Wednesday Sharing Group —> Wednesday April 16
Thursday & Friday Sharing Group —> Thursday April 17
In order for the class to participate on some Earth Day activities, we will require 3 parent volunteers from Recess to Lunch (10:20am-12:10pm). It is important to note that the classes that don’t have 3 parent volunteers will not be able to participate in the activities. Please let Mrs. Lonneberg know if you are interested! Thank you!
Also, it would be greatly appreciated, if you could please send an empty cereal cardboard box to school by Thursday, April 16th. They will be used for the activities on Earth Day. Thank you very much!!

Pictures!
Over these past two weeks, we have had a few special events. Enjoy the pictures below!
After the amazing performance by the Asahikawa Band on April 4th,
the students visited our classroom to teach us more about origami!
The Artists for Kids Outreach Program came into our class
to help us make small art projects of our own.
Artist Bronwen was a great instructor and we all had fun
learning many new concepts about maps and art!
We went to Loutet Farm today!

Welcome Back!
Dear Parents,
Hope everyone has had a relaxing Spring Break!
As was mentioned in the letter that went home on the last day before Spring Break, we will be re-starting Themed Sharing during the week of Monday March 31st to April 4th. Your child can bring in an object or draw a picture based on something that they enjoyed doing during Spring Break. The sharing days will remain the same and we will start on Monday, March 31st.
Thank you for taking the time to come and celebrate your child’s accomplishments during the Parent Teacher Conferences. It was lovely meeting all of you! As was mentioned, I will be teaching the class for a few weeks after Spring Break and then Mrs. Katherine Lonneberg will be returning mid-April. We will be working together to ensure the smoothest transition possible for the students.
As we proceed into Term 3, these are the new topics that we will start covering this month:
Choosing Themes: Change and Spring
Language Arts: Poetry
Socials: Canadian Symbols
Math: Numbers to 50 (Counting to 100)
PE: Gymnastics
DPA: Kilometre Club will be starting very soon!
*Please note: We have gym on Mondays and Tuesdays, so the students will be participating in the Gymnastics program from Monday, March 31st.
Thank you! I look forward to seeing everyone on Monday!
Sincerely,
Jeeniece Chand
