ON APRIL 28TH, 2016, student’s in grades 4 to 8 will be pleased to present the musical, “Press Start” that they’ve been working so hard on. Parents/
guardians are asked to be in their seats by 6pm and students who are involved in the musical are asked to be at school at 5:30.
David Livingstone Community School
It was nice to see so many families come out to Student-Led conferences. The students were
very excited to celebrate their learning. In this past month they have finished working on their
animal projects, they have worked on learning shapes and their proper"es, con"nued with
reading groups and much more.
They also had some special ac"vi"es such as going to the Children’s Museum where they got
to dissect an owl pellet and Winter Fun day where they played tug-a-war, had sled races, and
enjoyed other winter ac"vi"es. They also had the opportunity to learn the Red River Jig and
par"cipate in I Love to Read and Write weeks.
Next month the students can look forward to doing some research on another country. They
will also con"nue learning about 2D and 3D shapes. In science, we will look at some plants
and start plan"ng seeds to later transfer into the garden.

As an end to our Science unit (on structures), students were given the a1ernoon to build their
own structures using the recycled material we had saved up over the year. It was messy and it
was pre2y crazy, but they did a good job! Here's a
couple pictures of the beginning stages:
David Livingstone Community School
Can you believe... only three months le1 in this school year? The children were so very proud
to share all their hard work and learning with you at our Student-Led Conferences in
March. Please remember, regular a2endance is important in order to get in as much learning
as possible before the summer holidays.
This month, we will return to our study of the Seven Teachings, with our focus being on the
buffalo - represen"ng Respect.
In connec"on with this, we will be learning about the importance of respec"ng Mother Earth
by caring for the environment (e.g. cleaning up garbage, saving energy and recycling).
Our Home Reading Program will start in early April. A parent/caregiver must sign the
permission form before children are allowed to take home books. One book can go home
each day and when it is returned to school the next day, a new book can be selected. Please
take a few minutes each evening to read the book to your child and ask him/her ques"ons
about the story, characters, what they think will happen next, etc.
We will con"nue to work on matching le2ers with their sounds. The Kindergarten children
will be reading pa2ern and other books (with and without picture supports). In mathema"cs,
all students will work on building and iden"fying number sets and prin"ng the numbers. The
kindergarten children will work with simple addi"on and subtrac"on stories using counters,
ten-frames, rekenreks and addi"on, subtrac"on and equals signs.
Thank you for your con"nued support!

Room 23 Ms Adams
Welcome back everyone! I hope that you had a relaxing and safe spring break! Thank you for
coming to our assembly and our Student Led Conferences in March. It was nice to see you.
This month we will be having our usual math and reading/wri"ng programs. We will be con-
"nuing our study of non-fic"on wri"ng and will be doing our own non-fic"on wri"ng about
lions.
Important dates:
Friday, April 22 – no school all day – staff PD
Thursday, April 28 – pizza lunch (notes will be sent home closer to the day)
March 17th
was a very special day for Room 22 and Room
23. They made green eggs, ham and green smoothies!
First we read Dr. Seuss’s book, Green Eggs and Ham and
then we got busy cooking!! Lots of fun. Yoga is s"ll on
and are we geFng ever the more flexible. Some of our
favourite poses are the tree pose, the cat pose, and the
cow post. We are learning about breathing to put us into
the Green Zone for Learning.
We have been learning about The Zones of Regula"on with Ms.
Tracy, the occupa"onal therapist. The children are beginning to
understand that their bodies must be calm and their minds
quiet before they are good to go.
We will con"nue to learn about student rights, responsibili"es and rules. Learning to be a
good ci"zen fits with an"-bullying. We want to do our caring work and look a1er each
other.

African Dance and Drumming

23 with a wonderful learning celebra"on.
Basketball
Congratula"ons to Hamdi, Eid, Price and Monique who came to
basketball prac"ces from January - March to learn some basketball
skills and work on their fitness. We learned about shoo"ng, pass-
ing, dribbling, free throws, inbounding and jump shots. We had
some "me to scrimmage and play HORSE. I think their favourite
was the Suicide Drills. Thanks for your hard work.

David Livingstone Community School
What: ‘Posi"ve Discipline” describes a non-violent approach to teaching our children, while being
respecVul 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 hiFng.
But there is another way. “Discipline” actually means “teaching.” Teaching is based on seFng 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.
Where: David Livingstone Community School (Parent Room)
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.)

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

lowing places and "mes:
Posts: Charles St. & Flora Ave.
Charles St. & Selkirk Ave.

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!

Breakfast Program
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 wri2en 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 wri2en note sub-
mi2ed to your child’s teacher.
