Hello all,
We had another great week! I can tell the class is starting to come together as a group and I am enjoying seeing new friendships form. With new friendships forming comes more chatter. We, unfortunately, did spend a lot of time this week working on transitions as our voices tended to rise when we switched activities.
This week we also had the chance to meet our buddy class Div.16. This was very exciting for everyone. Together we created and performed at the assembly. I was very proud of Division 20 as they did an amazing job! and I look forward to providing this class with more opportunities to practice their public speaking and leadership skills.
Terry Fox: Please continue to collect pledges for Terry Fox. I have also sent home a sheet explaining Div 20 and 16’s fundraiser. I have attached it below if it did not make it home. If you are able to contribute something we are able to sell please sign up outside the classroom on Tuesday or write the item in your child’s agenda.
Class Pet: We will start our classroom pet rotations next week. A notice will go home about it and I will go in alphabetical order.
Work Journals: Next week we will continue to settle into a more traditional classroom routine. There will be a bit of a learning curve for the grade 1 students as they have not had work journal before. Please ensure you are continuing to check your child’s agenda nightly as communication regarding how this transition is going will be in there.
The week ahead:
Monday: NO School (Pro-D day)
Tuesday: Music and Gym
Wednesday:
Thursday: Library
Friday: Music and Gym
What is coming up:
Monday, September, 23: Pro-D day No school
Friday, September 27th: Terry Fox Run and Healthy Snack Sale.
Monday, September 30th: Orange Shirt Day- Please wear an orange shirt
(Please check out the link below if you are not familiar with this day)
How to help out:
Our class and Div 16 which is our Buddy class will be hosting a Healthy Bake Sale at recess and lunch post-Terry Fox Run on Friday, September 27th. A notice will go home with more information but please start to think if you are going to be able to send your child to school with something to sell. Last year we sold apple slices, muffins, crackers and cheese are a few examples and raised $250. This was a great activity to do alongside our buddy class!
