Thank you all for joining Div 20 for their Student-Led Conferences!

Please ensure you return the Dance Permission forms as our first dance lesson is on Monday. Without it signed your child, unfortunately, will not be able to participate in the program.

All students also had their Body Science lessons. Please ask your child about it to help keep this important conversation going.

We will be having lots of dance next week as “Power of Dance” is wrapping up and we will be starting our regular “Dance in schools program”.

*** I will let you know what the child is expected to wear for the performance once I find out****

The week ahead:

Please remind your child to wash their hands often and review sneezing etiquette.

 

We had a great week last week and ended it with a fun early Valentine’s Day!

I hope your children shared their experience of seeing two live owls and dissecting the pellets! I was shocked by how many bones were inside! We also had the opportunity to have two more dance workshops and continue to learn about Black History Month with our buddy class. The grade 3’s also had the opportunity to learn about Fire Safety.

***Please see some photos below***

Please hand in report card envelops if you haven’t already as well as the “Enrollment Projections form”.

The week ahead:

What a crazy week!

I hope everyone had a fun snow day. All this snow made everyone very excitable this week.

The week ahead:

If you have any extra socks or boys pants we could keep in the classroom for backup that would be awesome.

With the SNOW please ensure your child is dressed for the weather! This means they have a full change of clothing with multiple pairs of socks. Lots of children’s shoes seem to not be waterproof so extra socks are very important.

If I have lent your child clothing recently please return it.

How to help out and something to think about:

Each year during the holiday season I try to think of a way for Div. 20  to give back to our community. I see it as a way to have a conversation about the importance of giving back as well as being thankful and appreciative of what we have.  Last year, we made holiday cards and families were able to purchase cards and other items with a portion of the profit going toward a charity. Last year we donated to The Red Fox Living Society. I am looking for ideas as to what charity or organization to support this year. If you have any ideas please send me an email.

Hello All,

I hope everyone is having a great long weekend and reflection on the importance of Remembrance Day.

Last week we went on our first field trip to the Renfrew Public Library. We were running out of time at the end which led me to decide that  I would sign out all the books under my name/card and the books will stay in the classroom.  Everyone seemed to really enjoy it there and I hope to go again.

I have sent home Parent-Teacher Forms on Thursday, please do your best to send those back to school ASAP so I can ensure I make a schedule that accommodates everyone.
