Only 60 school days until summer break!
It is hard to believe that March Break
is just a memory. The weather is
improving and baseball season is
here!
The last few months of the school year are always
busy, and this year is no exception. We hope you join
your child in some of the many activities and learning
opportunities between now and the end of the year.
This year, KHPS has a focus on improving our
delivery of the Mathematics curriculum. Specifically,
we are looking at using a problem solving approach to
Math throughout the school. During problem solving
opportunities, children are presented with problems
that allow for a range of solutions and go beyond the
singular goal of computational mastery into more
complex mathematical thinking. A problem solving
environment provides students with increased
opportunities to explain and justify their reasoning.
At the end of such lessons, students are asked to do
more than simply recount their procedures. They are
also asked to engage in the following higher order
thinking skills:
1.
Explain their thinking and show their
thinking. Rephrase what another student has
said.
2. Agree with another student and describe
their reason for agreeing or provide an
alternate explanation.
3. Disagree with another student and explain or
show how your thinking/solution differs.
4. Build on the thinking of another student
through explanation, example, or
demonstration.
5. Extend the ideas of other students’ by
generalizing or linking the idea to another
concept.
In this model, the math classroom functions as a
community where thinking, talking, agreeing, and
disagreeing are encouraged. The primary goal is to
extend one’s own thinking, as well as that of others
(Literacy and Numeracy Secretariat, 2007).

Building Self-Esteem
High self-esteem helps children cope with challenges
in school and beyond. You can’t bestow self-esteem
on your child, but you can nurture its three key
elements:
1 . Acceptance. Tell your child you love him/her all
the time, not just when he/she is good or successful.
Compliment your child more and criticize less. Help
your child develop friendships and social skills.
2. Confidence. Emphasize his/her strengths.
Accept, don’t dwell on weaknesses. Point out the
progress made and make him/her see that their
actions do make a difference.
3. A sense of purpose. Help your child set
attainable goals. Be positive about his/her ability to
succeed. Help your child see that he/she can
overcome difficulties. Provide incentives and
rewards.
Grade 3 and Grade 6 EQAO
Grade 3 and 6 EQAO test will be written from May
26th to June 4th. Each grade level will be given a
five day window to write the assessment. The
specific dates for each grade’s assessment will be
determined shortly.
SMART START FOR EQAO:
* avoid absences to the greatest extent possible
* reschedule appointments
* ensure your child gets lots of sleep
* provide healthy food and snacks
* eat a good breakfast
* give hugs and pats on the back
* be positive
Voting will take place on the following days:
Red Maple ~ Mon. April 28th
Silver Birch Express ~ Tues. April 29th
Silver Birch (Fiction & Non-fiction) ~ Wed. April
30th
To be eligible to vote, students must have read at
least 5 out of the 10 books for each program that
they wish to vote for.
Blue Spruce Celebrations will be held for all
Kindergarten - Grade 2 students on April 24th
and 25th. Further information will come home with
students later this month.
Special Education Survey
Does your child have an IEP? If so the Special
Education Department would like your feedback
about special education supports and services.
A survey for parents will be posted on the Upper
Grand District School Board website from April 14April 30th. This survey is for parents who have
children at the Upper Grand District School Board
with Individual Education Plans (IEPs). The
information from the survey will be used to help in
the planning of special education supports and
services. Responses will be kept as confidential and
used in summary reports. Thank you for watching
for this.
A Warm Welcome from the Library
Forest of Reading programs will continue until late
April. Students who are participating in the Forest
of Reading programs are asked to please return
books as soon as they have finished reading them
so that other students have access to the books too.
We do have multiple copies of all of the novels, but
the program is very popular and we have over 100
students participating (Grades 3 - 8). If families
wish to read the books together (shared reading or
read aloud), that is absolutely encouraged!
If you are interested in viewing the books that have
been nominated this year, please visit our library
website. http://bit.ly/KHPSForest
Are you interested in encouraging your child to learn
more about current events? Check out
www.teachingkidsnews.com. It's an amazing FREE
website created by a team of two teachers and a
journalist. Every day, one current news story is
written into an article appropriate for kids. A
wonderful resource for students, parents and
teachers; with great kid-friendly articles and
curriculum links
(discussion/reading/writing/grammar prompts) at
the bottom of every article.
The Scholastic Book Fair will be arriving on May 1st,
with previews on May 2nd, and sales May 5th - 7th.
More information will come home closer to the date.
The book fair is a fantastic fundraiser for the
library. We can earn up to 70% of all sales as credit
to purchase new books!
Thank you for your continued support of our library
programs,

Earth Day 2014
Earth Day is just around the corner! April 22nd has
been recognized as Earth Day since the early 1970’s
and was originally created to
highlight the need for all of us to
be involved with environmental
protection.
Although many of our communities
organize neighbourhood clean-ups and earth friendly
activities for us to participate in on Earth Day, more
and more schools are trying to make the environment
a focus in the day to day lives of students and staff.
One way is through the participation in Ontario
EcoSchools.
Ontario EcoSchools is an environmental
education and certification program
for grades K-12 that helps school
communities nurture environmentally
responsible citizens while reducing the
environmental footprint of schools. Schools
that have opted to participate in this rigorous
program create a “Green Team” consisting of
students and teachers. In some cases, parents,
principals and custodians also participate to create a
team that truly reflects the entire school
community. This Green Team takes a leadership role
in the school. Students are empowered to take a
close look at how the school is conserving energy,
minimizing waste, greening up the school grounds,
engaging in environmental stewardship and
environmental leadership. The purpose of this
program is to engage students throughout the year
by having them collect data about their own school,
create action plans, and educate others about how to
make some change, and then follow up and report the
results back to the school community. The goal is to
create environmentally conscious citizens who think
about their impact on the environment as they walk
through their day to day life at school, at home and
in the community.
Whether your school is involved in EcoSchools or
not, many schools are working with students to
actively engage them in things like litterless lunches,
re-useable water bottle campaigns and reducing
landfill waste. Parents can help by supporting
students in their participation in these initiatives
and by modelling environmentally conscious actions at
home. Having conversations with your children about
your choices and actions are a great
opportunity for them to understand how
important we are to the environment. By
supporting our children to grow up
green, we are helping to create a more
sustainable future.

please check out their website at:

Math Games
Here are some fun math games to play at home.
Guess My Number
Goal: Can you guess the number I’m holding?
One player takes two playing cards. The cards can be
ordered any way.
Be sure no one else can see the cards!
All other players take turns guessing what the
number is by asking math questions.
"Is it even?" "Is it odd?" "Is it greater than 10?" "Is
it a factor of 20?" and so on.
The payer holding the cards can only answer with a
"Yes" or "No", until the actual number is guessed.
Let’s Get Loonie
(Materials: 2 dice, coins 8 pennies, 2 nickels, 4
dimes, 6 quarters and 1 loonie.)
Roll the two dice and add the two numbers together.
Take that amount of money from the centre.
(Try to always have the least number of coins in
front of you at a time).
Object: to be the first player to get “Loonie”.
On the Way Home from Soccer or Baseball
How many goals/runs were scored in the game?
How many more goals/runs did we need to get to
make 10, 18, and 25?
How many players are on the team? If they each
have one sibling how many children would that be?
What if half of them had 2 siblings? Now how many
children would that be?
It cost $50.00 to fill up the van with gas. How much
would 5 tanks cost? What about 8 tanks?
And for those nights that get rained out, how
about some old favourites.
Puzzles, Pay Day, Monopoly, Rummoli, Phase 10 or
Payday.
Bicycle Safety
Now that the warmer weather is approaching, please
remember if your child rides
his/her bike to school a helmet and
a lock are necessary.
Students must walk their bikes on
school property.
Safety on the Playground
With the warm weather arriving soon and the
opening of our playground structures, this is a good
time to remind everyone - students, parents, staff
and yard supervisors - of the rules that help make
these structures fun and safe places to play.
Our
playground is designed for users aged
13 and under and we do not provide
supervision, maintenance and
inspections outside of school hours.
Board policy determines that the
equipment is off limits from November 1st to March
31st, and at other times as determined by the school
administration. This includes periods of freezing
temperatures, when there is freezing rain, if the
ground cover is frozen, or if there is a
build up of snow and ice.
Rules for students:
• No pushing
• No running on play structures
• No fighting
• No eating while on the playground
equipment
• No throwing sticks, stones or other
objects
The following are not allowed on the equipment:
skipping ropes, ropes, scarves or loose drawstrings
on children’s clothing. We have also been advised by
our insurance company that children should not wear
bicycle helmets on the play structures.
You should also know that in the event of an injury,
students and staff are reminded that the injured
person should not be moved, and a supervisor must
be notified immediately.
We make safety at play our major
concern, and will be reminding our
students and staff on a regular basis
about the playground rules. We hope
that you will reinforce them at home with your child.
Safety, Safety, Safety!
The two parking lots at the school are
not to be used as drop off points for our
students, nor is the driveway to be used
as an opportunity to do a u-turn. This area of the
school is to be used only by staff and visitors to the
school during busy times of the day, between 8:30
a.m. and 8:50 a.m., and 3:15 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. As
well, please do not park along the end of neighboring
driveways while dropping off your children. We have
had community members call the school to voice
their displeasure with respect to trying to get out of
their homes in the morning, but are being blocked in
by cars along the end of their driveway. Please be
respectful of our community members.
Information Changes for September
To assist us with enrolment projections for
September, please inform the office if you
plan to move out of the Kortright Hills attendance
area. Should you know of any families
moving into our area and who are
planning to attend school here in
September, please ask them to call the
school at (519) 827-1601.
Valuables / Electronic Devices
As our society becomes more and more
technologically advanced, we are noticing
that many students are bringing valuable
items to school. Students are highly
encouraged to leave iPods, game boys
and MP3 players at home for safe keeping. These
items are attractive and we cannot be responsible
for theft or loss of such items. Parents, you should
also check and hear what your child is recording to
determine whether language and content is
appropriate. We recommend that parents make
informed decisions with their child(ren) whether
expensive items should be brought to school.

Extra Socks, Dry Pants and Shoes
Students are reminded to bring extra socks,
mitts, rubber boots and rain pants to school
at this time of year. Although we always encourage
our students to stay out of the water, and
sometimes even change our play areas to
accommodate this need, the mud puddles
are just too inviting for some of our little ones. A
pair of indoor shoes is also a necessity for all
students, as the floors are often wet following
recess.

Can be done as a family activity
From the Health Department
Two for Two is What You Do!
Brushing your teeth two times a day for two minutes
each time helps prevent cavities.
If you don’t have dental insurance and can’t afford
care, we have free dental services for your children
at Public Health. At our dental clinics, we provide
free cleanings for children. We can help children
with cavities and other urgent problems get the
treatment they need. For more information about
our dental services, call our Dental Line at 1-800265-7293 ext. 2661 or visit www.wdgpublichealth.ca
Morning Attendance
Please help your child to be at school when the bell
rings – 8:45 for Intermediates, 8:50 for JK - 6.
This minimizes disruption for classrooms during
learning time, and it places the value of time
management on students – a life-long
skill. Please also remember to have your
child check in at the office, if he/she is
late. If the announcements are on, he/she
will need to wait quietly in the front
foyer until announcements are finished to
check in and receive a late pass.

School Council News
A Message from the City of Guelph
School Council would like to thank everyone for their
support of our maple syrup fundraiser.
We had great feedback and interest for doing it
again next year. We were able to raise $1000.00.
This will go towards the kindergarten playground.
A committee is now in place to plan
the playground. Input has been
sought from the kindergarten
teachers and also Early Childhood
education teachers on equipment, layout, shade and
so forth. So as you are enjoying breakfast with
your maple syrup, you can feel good knowing you've
helped to create an engaging, safe environment for
our kindergarteners.
New speed limits in elementary school zones
The City of Guelph is implementing reduced speed
limits in elementary school zones across the city:
The final installment for the Food Programs will be

•
•
40 km/h speed limits on arterial
roads, in effect on school days
from 8-9 a.m. and 3-4 p.m.
30 km/h speed limits on collector
and local roads, which will be in
effect at all times.
The elementary school zones will be created on the
street the school is “addressed” on. Sign installation
will begin in April, and is scheduled to be completed
by the end of May 2014.
Once a sign has been installed and unveiled, the
speed zone is in effect and will be enforceable by
Guelph Police Service.
Please keep an eye out for the new signs and obey
speed limits in our school zones. Let’s all work
together to ensure a safe walking environment for
students, parents, crossing guards, pedestrians, and
cyclists.
Talking About Mental Health
Helping Your Family Deal with Stress and Anxiety
Everyone experiences stress during their daily lives and there are times in our lives when we feel
anxious. This is normal. It happens to all of us. However, some of us and some of our children/youth are
anxious more of the time and to a greater degree and this can be challenging for the children, youth and
their families.
The good news is that there a lot of positive things that you can do as parents to help reduce the stress
and anxiety that you and your child/youth feel. Here are some tips!
Listen: Take time to listen to your child/youth’s thoughts and feelings. Being heard is very important and
can make someone feel less distressed by talking about it.
Talk: Let your child/youth know that they are not alone. Lots of people feel stressed and anxious. It is
normal, harmless and temporary.
Share: You as a parent experience fear, stress and anxiety. Model how you cope with stressful situations
with positive coping strategies.
Support: Let your child/youth know that you care and support them as they struggle with stress and
anxiety.
Practice: Practice calming strategies with your child/youth when they are calm. Practice every day so
calming becomes a habit.
Encourage: When stress arises, encourage your child/youth to use their calming strategies. Praise your
child/youth for using their calming strategies.
Model: Be a good role model for your child/youth. Create a positive, predictable environment at home.
Use your own coping strategies. Allow your children to observe how you face and deal with stress in a
positive way. You are the single most important influence in your child’s life.
Here are a couple of calming techniques that you can practice with your child/youth:
1. Calm Breaths. When we are anxious we breathe faster, which actually makes us more anxious.
By calming our breath we are sending signals to our brains and bodies that things are going to be
OK.
Take slow deep breaths.
Breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth.
For younger children they can blow bubbles or pretend to.
For older children/youth guide, they can imagine breathing in calm and breathing out
worries or tension.
Keep taking calm breaths until the breath is smooth, deep and calm.
Have the child/youth notice what it feels like to be calm.
2. Muscle relaxation. When we are anxious, our bodies become tense. By relaxing our bodies, we
are sending signals to our bodies and our brains that it is going to be OK.
Sit or lie down.
Tighten up one part of your body (e.g. your legs).
Hold the tension for 10 seconds.
Relax your body.
Allow the tension and tightness to drain away.
Repeat tightening and releasing different parts of the body.
Tighten your whole body, hold for 10 seconds then release.
Lie or sit for a moment allowing your body to be totally relaxed.
Have your child/youth notice what it feels like when their body is relaxed.
Hope these tips are helpful. The best thing that you can do is practice relaxation techniques every day
with your family to build coping skills and to have calmer, happier children, youth and families. Enjoy!
