Just a reminder that tomorrow is Rent-a-Gorilla Day. For a minimum donation of $1, students can rent one of Mr. Ogren’s gorillas for the desk to support the Terry Fox Run.
I did warn students that if the gorilla is distracting from their learning they will be put away.

There will be a couple Art projects coming up in a couple weeks that require the students to cut out and use pictures from magazines. If you have any magazines around your house that you want to get rid of that have lots of great pictures children could draw, please send them with your child.
I do have a few at school, so if you do not have any – no worries. There should be lots to share.
The Tour de Rock Riders will be visiting our school Monday morning at 9:05 am sharp. The students will be in meeting them in the gym for a short assembly and then the whole school will line the driveway to cheer them one their way. Please dress for rain, as we will be outside for a short period.
Students can still bring donations for Cops for Cancer Monday morning.
I have logged all the students in class onto RAZ Kids (Reading A-Z). There is a link from the Fun Links on the right hand side of this website. When it asks you for the Teacher Login, it is kogrenO (it ends with the number O [zero]- not the letter o.)
If you child is finding the reading too hard or too easy, please let me know and I can easily change the level.
If you missed the Wednesday deadline for the Book Orders, Mrs. Plumridge will be coming in Friday morning to pick up the orders. Please have your child let me know they have an order right at 9:00 am to make sure the order makes it into the envelope.
The students were given a variety of letters for a Making Big Words Challenge. All the letters can be arranged to make a “big word”, but the challenge is to also rearrange the letters to make as many words as they can, minimum 3 letters per word.
