September Notices

Hi Parents and Guardians!

Homework Folder

A green folder labelled Homework Folder was sent home on Wednesday. As presented to parents on the first day of school, curriculum night and our newsletter these will come home regularly. Please read or do the activity together to help us bridge the gap between home and school. It is, of course, not required but does make a big difference in each student's learning.  They will generally go home on Wednesdays (every week or every other week). They do not need to be returned until Monday. Keep reading and working over the weekend!

This week's activity is reading the 2 poems together. The first poem is titled: 10 Little Pirates. The second poem on the back page is titled: ARE Poem. Both will be or have been introduced during instructional time.

-Work on recognizing each of the numbers in 10 Little Pirates AND what quantity that number represents. For example, gathering 8 marbles for the number 8.

-The A-R-E Poem introduces the word 'are' to students while also making it related to the theme of Pirates for Friday (International Talk Like a Pirate Day).


Alphabet Study

Purple notices were sent home a few days ago about our alphabet study coming up! We are asking parents to help choose an item from home that starts with the first letter of the child's name. For example, Lenny would bring in Lego because Lenny starts with L and so does Lego. Students will be sharing the item with the class. A photo will be taken for our word wall. Students will also be learning about the letter sound, what it looks like and begin to learn how to form the letter (JK) or refine that skill (SK).


Terry Fox
Terry Fox run will take place next Friday at 1:15 pm until recess. Kindergartens will be taken on the walk around the "track" to get their stamps. A donation of $2 for Terry is encouraged for the cause which gets a spot on our Terry Fox train in the main foyer.


Outstanding Forms

Please, if possible, return any forms that are still outstanding for your child. We are in the process of organizing permissions, workshops and trips for the year. Education Fees are due to the office or place them in your child's Communication Bag.
