Terry Fox

Thank you to all the parents and volunteers who helped out during our Terry Fox Run! It was very much appreciated. Thank you also to those families who helped raise money for us! We had a lot of money turned in on Thursday. I was very impressed!

Another great week! The kids are really starting to settle into their routines at school. What a nice class we have this year!

This week we have been talking lots about how we are unique! The kids shared their special interests with the rest of the class. We have also been talking about how our names make us unique too. Talk to your child about why they have the name they do! What else makes them unique?

Our Terry Fox Run is fast approaching. It will take place the afternoon of Thursday September 24. If you would like to come with us, just send me an email or text and let me know you'll be there! Remember parent volunteers must have their criminal record check. We have been talking about Terry Fox and why we run for him. The students have been very insightful and understanding about Terry Fox and what he did for cancer research. I am very impressed!

Some students are still missing some forms that need to be returned to school. I will be sending extra copies home next week in case you've lost yours. Please remember to send extra clothes to school with your child as well, if you have not done so. Just in case!

Great first week back!

Thanks to everyone who attended the classroom visits last week and thanks to all the parents who have signed and returned to necessary forms for school start up! If you still have not returned these forms, please send them to school this week.

We had an excellent first week of school! Many of your children are already successfully writing their names by themselves. Keep practicing this skill at home with them. Encourage your child to use proper pencil grip and to start their name with a capital and use lower case letters for the rest of the letters.

Everyone is doing really well at learning the rules and routines at school. We have a great group of kids and I'm really looking forward to spending time with them this year!
