A super start my 

Magnificent Grade 4/5 Minions!

Today we shared with our classmates a little bit about ourselves and discussed classroom routines and expectations. Share with your parents the meaning of the following reflection:

A man once watched a butterfly struggling to emerge from its chrysalis and enter the world in its new form. Taking pity upon it in its fight, he took his penknife and slit the case, releasing the insect.  He tossed the butterfly into the air and was appalled as it fell helpless to the ground, unable to fly.  By relieving it of the work of forcing its way out of the chrysalis, he had robbed it of the very exercise it needed to enable it to fly.

Two letters were sent home today:

• The ABCs of Mrs. Hollis' Class
• Getting to Know Your Child

Please return the "Getting to Know Your Child" sheet as soon as possible.
The cost of agendas is $10.00. Students have received their agendas.
Please initial agendas each evening.

We have a student with anaphylactic allergies to peanuts and tree nuts. Any food with these ingredients are not permitted in the classroom.

Tomorrow (Wednesday) we begin cross country practice at the end of the day (weather permitting). Don't forget to bring your gym clothes and running shoes.
