In Social Studies Room 2 has been studying Australia. They have been researching the unique animals that
live there and reasons why people would visit the country. They have also had the opportunity to make and
try some Australian food.
We are finishing up our plant unit in science and will start learning about the senses. We have also been do-
ing some learning following the Earth Rangers Assembly where the students have been learning the im-
portance of recycling and taking care of our world.
In math we have been working on mental math strategies for addi$on and subtrac$on as well as some meas-
urement.
This month students can look forward to a field trip to Deer Meadows Farm, Math Movement Day, and Field
Day. Throughout the month of June, students will start to take home some of the hard work the have done
this year. please take a few minutes to celebrate your child’s learning and hard work.
Have a great summer!

Where has the school year gone? Ten months of making new friends, developing social skills and learning
and prac$cing concepts have flown by quickly.
I have started and will con$nue to evaluate the students for their June report cards. You can help with this
process by ensuring your child a?ends school every day and on $me. We would like to thank our reading
buddies from rooms 11 and 16 for coming to the classroom once a cycle to share books with us. I would also
like to thank parents/caregivers for your support and involvement throughout the year. (e.g. sending your
child to school every day and on $me, reviewing expecta$ons for behaviour, prac$cing concepts at home,
suppor$ng our home reading program and a?ending Student-Led Conferences.)
It has been my pleasure to work with such a fine group of students.
Enjoy a safe summer holiday!

June in the Gym
June in the gym has students in Grades 1-3 kicking and striking. We will work on 3 types of
kicks: Pun$ng, place kicking and soccer kicking. Striking will focus on the horizontal swinging
ac$on, with the side of our bodies facing the direc$on we want the ball to travel in. During
the month, we will be playing badminton, soccer and baseball and students in grades 4-5 will
work on the sport of cricket.
Cricket is a game played by 2 teams with 11 players on each team. One
team bats while the other team fields. The bowler (pitcher) bowls the ball
overhand to the ba?er, with the aim to get the ba?er out. The fielders try
to limit the ba?er’s runs by catching the ball or by hiPng the wickets. The
wicket keeper is the fielder who stands behind the wicket and stops the ball
if the ba?er misses it.

Posi%ve Discipline in Everyday Paren%ng
This is a be?er way than that way.
What: ‘Posi$ve Discipline” describes a non-violent approach to teaching our children, while being
respecWul of the child as a learner and individual human being
Why: The challenge of paren$ng is enormous – to take the hand of a brand-new human being and
guide her toward adulthood, teaching her all she needs to know to have a happy, successful life.
There are $mes in all parents’ lives when the challenge seems overwhelming. Some$mes we lose
control of our emo$ons, or feel helpless, or resort to shou$ng and hiPng.
But there is another way. “Discipline” actually means “teaching.” Teaching is based on sePng goals
and finding solu$ons to challenges. “Posi$ve discipline” is non-violent and respects the child as a
learner. It is an approach to teaching that helps children succeed, gives them informa$on, and sup-
ports their growth.
Posi$ve Discipline in Everyday Paren$ng is a set of principles that can be applied in a wide range of
situa$ons. It can guide all interac$ons with children, not just the challenging ones.
The Conven$on on the Rights of the Child guarantees children’s protec$on from all forms of vio-
lence, including physical and emo$onal punishment. It also recognizes children’s rights to respect
and dignity. And it recognizes that parents have the right to assistance in carrying out their im-
portant role.

When: Wednesdays star$ng April 20 at 1:15 pm. (This is a 9 week program, when you complete
the program you will receive a cer$ficate.)

The Breakfast Program will
continue to run five morn-ings a week, offering stu-
dents a nutritious breakfast.
It runs from 8:15 to 8:50
a.m. daily.
This program is open to all
students.
To keep every-one safe on their way to and from school we pro-vide patrols.
They are provided with training from both school staff and the police department. They have an important job to do and we need to support them when
we can. Please respect
them and encourage them.
They are on post in all kinds
of weather and at the fol-
lowing places and $mes:
Posts: Charles St. & Flora Ave.
Charles St. & Selkirk Ave.
Times: 8:40—9:05 a.m.
11:50-12:05 a.m.
12:45-1:00 p.m.
3:25—3:45 p.m.
In the Winnipeg School Division and Da-vid Livingstone Community School, there
are many students known to have life-threatening allergies. The substances
that could cause these students to have a fatal reaction are varied: the most com-
mon are peanuts, peanut products (peanut butter) and nuts. For many of
these students, contact with a very mini-mal amount could result in illness and
even death within minutes. Contact with
these products may occur without the student recognizing the danger.
The oils from allergic food substances could easily transfer from your child’s
hands to a desk, then to the child with
life-threatening allergies and to his/her
mouth. This could pose a serious
threat to the child with the life-
threatening allergies.
TO REDUCE THE RISK FOR STU-
DENTS WITH LIFE-THREATENING
ALLERGIES WE REQUEST THAT
YOU NOT SEND FOODS CONTAIN-
ING PEANUTS, NUTS OR PEANUT
BUTTER FOR SNACKS.
Providing a safe school environment
for all students is a responsibility shared by the student, the student’s
family, school personnel and the school
community.
WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT
IN KEEPING THE CHILDREN AT
DAVID LIVINGSTONE COMMUNI-
TY SCHOOL SAFE!
David Livingstone Community School
Reminder to parents Please
do not send or drop off stu-dents before 8:15 a.m., if so
they will be sent home as there is no supervision. Be
sure to dress your children for
the outdoors as ALL students will be expected to go outside
after breakfast if the weather allows, and last, encourage
your child/children to NOT waste food or time!

Parents are reminded to please
call the school at 204-586-8346
when repor$ng that your child
will be absent or late for class.
For student safety, we offer a call-
back program. This means that
you will be called if your child is
not at school and you have not
informed us of his or her absence.
If you know your child will be ab-
sent for a more prolonged ab-
sence, a phone call to 204-586-
8346, or a wri?en note to the
office, is much appreciated.
Thank you!
Reporting Absences
Please provide consistent end of
the day arrangements for your
child. The school office is a very
busy place and it is difficult to get
informa$on to students about
changing arrangements for end of
the day pick-up.
Children can become confused and
anxious about frequent changes.
We appreciate that par-
ents/caregivers provide a consistent
and safe procedure for the end of
the school day.
End of Day Arrangements
Please refrain from
sending cell phones
and other electronic
devices to school with
your children.
We are concerned that they
may go missing, be used to take
inappropriate pictures and be a
distrac$on in class.
We ask parents to refrain from
using cell phones in the hall-
ways during class $me as the
talking volume can be dis-
trac$ng to classes.
Cell Phones in School

To ensure the safety of all David Living-
stone students, and to maintain accurate
records, we are reques$ng all students
be picked up or dismissed from the main
office when leaving school early. Also,
when they return from their appoint-
ments they need to check in at the office.
Requests for leaving early should be
made by way of a wri?en note sub-
mi?ed to your child’s teacher.
