February Update

Calendars and class lists went home today. Leader Days resume tomorrow it will be a free choice item or story. Please ensure that students are prepared to discuss the reason for his/her choice in item. Some questions to consider are:

• What did you bring? 
• Why did you bring it?
• How did you get it?
• Why is it special?

Valentine's Day

I handed out class lists; however, it can be a bit tricky trying to handout all the cards. If you would like to write in the TO: section "TO: My friend" that would work as well. This is a good opportunity for students to write his/her name.  If you would like to bring a treat to share please ensure that it is nut-free and made in Canada, as we want to ensure the safety of all our students.

Report cards

Report cards are going home for all the JK students tomorrow. I will be sending home parent-teacher interview request forms. A note went home last week regarding interviews last week, as it is different from previous years.

Volunteers

I am still looking for some volunteers to put together books, if you are available please let me know.

January News

Area 6 January Newsletter

Welcome back! I hope you enjoyed your winter holidays.  Thank you for all your generous gifts and the donations made on my behalf. 

We just finished working with the visiting artist, Ms. Liliana Rodriguez. The students have made some beautiful artwork. I need some volunteers to help us display the artwork. If you have some time to come in please let me know.

We have collected a lot of recyclables and we are ready to build. We will start building with the boxes in the upcoming weeks. We also finished writing our story “More Chickens!” modeled on a story we read “More Bears!” by Kenn Nesbitt. I am going to try and send a copy with each student once it is put together with illustrations. Please ask your child about the story, we had a lot of fun writing the story.  We began reading our levelled books and these will begin to go home in February with our borrow-a-book. Sorry for the delay in the borrow-a-book; it should be coming home soon.

Note: Leader days will begin again in February.

Reminders

Please ensure that students have a pair of indoor shoes.
