September 23/16

Division 7 has had a busy week and are settling into our classroom routines.   Most days we have Reader's Workshop and Explorations ask your child about these.  Today we started our Friday routine of sending home our Poetry and More books (there was a letter explaining this in the front of the duotang) these should be returned every Monday.  

Just a reminder there is no school on Monday, Sept. 26th for students.  Tuesday, Sept. 27th is our Terry Fox Run.  All students must have signed walking forms (on the parent portal) before they can participate in the regular Terry Fox route, please make sure all these forms are completed.
Volunteers are welcome!  There will be a short assembly at 1:00 and then the run. 
Please ensure that your child has the proper shoes and a water bottle.  Thanks!

Speaking of shoes there are still a few students that do not have inside shoes (running shoes are best so they are can also be used for gym), if possible could you please get these as soon as possible as it looks like the wet fall weather is here!

Thursday evening 6:30-7:15 will be our Open House or Meet the Teacher.  I hope to see you there but if you are not available please feel free to stop by anytime and your child would be able to show you around our classroom.

September 17/16

Wednesday, September 21 is Individual Picture Day.

Attention all parents - please check the school district portal and go to the form section as we have many forms posted there that need to be filled out.    For example - our Terry Fox Run is Tuesday. Sept. 27th and you must have completed the walking form for your child to participate.   We also need parent volunteers to walk/run with our class, please let me know if you are available.  Thanks.   Please ensure that your child has appropriate clothing and running shoes for the run (rain or shine!) Please also be sure to send a water bottle.
The school supply fee is $55.00 and can be paid online or by sending in a cheque or cash.

We started using our planners and our home reading program last week, please help your child get into the habit of reading daily (parent please initial and checking the front plastic pouch for notices) and returning it to school daily.  Inside shoes are needed and if possible if

Family Reading started this past Friday morning at 8:30 - 8:45.  We were very fortunate that so many parents could attend, I am really hoping that this can continue.  Also I did put out the sign up for snacks for our celebrations so if you haven't had a chance to sign up please just drop by the class to sign up for one of the holidays.  Thanks in advance for contributing. 

Just a reminder we do have a  tree nut allergy (only almonds and walnuts) in our class so do not send any food that contain or may contain these nuts (please check the wrappers - as many students are coming to me once their snack is open and asking - 4/5 times they did have almonds).   Peanut butter, peanuts and Nutella are allowed.  Thanks for your understanding and support with this.

Friday, October 14th - Skating 8:45 - 10:00 (we will need parent drivers and volunteers)
