ATTENTION: LIANA ROMEO’S CLASS
Dear Students, Staff and Parents:

 

On behalf of the Transcona Food Bank I would like to thank you for your recent donation of food.    Food, clothing and monetary donations are an important part of our ability to function.  They are always welcome and greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you so much staff and students of Harold Hatcher Elementary School for your continued support of our less fortunate families.

 

Food and monetary donations that we receive go towards supplementing that which is provided by Winnipeg Harvest.  As far as possible, a balance among the four food groups is made available to the recipients.

 

We are pleased that you thought of us and appreciate your kindness.

 

Sincerely,

 

 

 

(Mrs) Midge Barry

Secretary,

Social Studies Test October 21

Dear Parents,

This is a note to let you know that we will be having a “Map of Canada” test. We have been learning about the names of the provinces and territories in Canada. I am asking that the children practice the map that I sent home the other day. As a challenge, the children can also label the capital cities in Canada. I will have the names listed of the provinces and territories for the children to use. It is not a spelling test but a labelling test. The test is one Tuesday October 21.

Here is a map to help with the studying!

Writing Project in Ms.Romeo's Class

Writing Project in Ms.Romeo's Class



Here is snapshot video of an exciting project that was in my classroom.

At Harold Hatcher School, we are fortunate to have many "experts" who share their knowledge with others.

Ms. Rempel and Ms. Veryha worked in my classroom on the student's autobiographies. It was an exciting process. I am very proud of the writing that each student created! You will see these pieces at Student-Led conference time!

Important Dates

Hi all,
There will be no school on Friday October 24. There is also early dismissal on November 5 at 2:35. 
Thank you, 
Ms. L. Romeo :)

Kidblog Coming Soon

Tomorrow, our class will start blogging. I have chosen a very safe and secure site called "Kidblog." 
Each student will be given their own safe and private password that both parents and student can use at home and at school.
I am using "Kidblog" to help students with writing, homework and as a way of sharing their ideas from home. 
I will sharing this site tomorrow at school and I will be giving each student their own password to use at home if they wish.
Research shows that students who write on an electronic device improve in their writing ability. I hope that using "Kidblog" will improve student writing as well.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Take care, 
Ms. L. Romeo :)

Thanksgiving Letter To Parents

Dear Parents,

Today, Ms. Romeo read a book about Thanksgiving. We learned that some people cannot afford food. We want to help those people.

We, as a class, are going to collect food for the Transcona Food Bank. We are collecting healthy and non-perishable food items. We will be collecting food between October 6 until October 9.

Please help our class collect food and help others.
