We Scare Hunger Food Drive!

Our Student Council has started their annual "We Scare Hunger" food drive. They will be collecting items for the food bank until the end of the month. Our goal is to collect 1500 items. Student Council will also be accepting other household needs donations (diapers, dish soap, toothbrushes etc.) All proceeds will be brought to our local food bank! Thank you to those families who have already sent in items to support this initiative!


Spirit Day This Wednesday!

Our first Rick Hansen P.S. Spirit Day is this Wednesday! To show our support for the Toronto Blue Jays we will wear blue and white or any Blue Jays themed clothing!

Math Homework

This page was assigned as math homework due on Wednesday. Some students have found it quite challenging.  I have told students to complete as much and they can and bring it back to school. Not to worry this time if some parts, or even the whole page is incomplete. 

No Reading Log This Weekend!

Students will not need to complete their Reading Logs this weekend! Students are still expected to read for at least 20 minutes each day. On Tuesday the Reading Log will return home again. Enjoy the weekend!


Fable Planner Coming Home This Weekend!

Students have been reading and analyzing many fables. It is now time to create our own! By creating fables we have the opportunity to make a difference! This week we discussed experiences in our lives that we have learned from. We identified the lesson or morale from our experiences that will help us create a meaningful fable. I am so impressed with the ideas generated for these fables, it has been fun and interesting for me as a teacher to watch these ideas form into fables!

This weekend students are bringing home their fable planners. They are eager to share their ideas with you. Students are not suppose to write a fable at home, rather they are sharing their ideas and open to any feedback from family. The fable planner must be returned to school on Tuesday as we will begin writing our rough copy that day!


Happy Thanksgiving! We have so much to be thankful for!
