October 20th

A short but busy week!   We were very lucky to have a special guest on Thursday.  Shannon (a friend of Logan's Mom from Div. 8) came to our class and brought a large container of all the felt crafts she has created.  She explained how she made all of her different characters and even made it possible for each student to try to poke the yarn (similar to Holman Wang's creations).  Amazing to see and hear how an artist gets and creates their ideas.






Each child should have brought home their Great Canadian information sheets and soon to be Canadian flags.  If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Sorry for the bad news but our class does have a case of lice.  Please be checking your child's hair regularly and alert the school if and when you find anything.  Unfortunately,  it's that time of year!

Our skating field trip is on Tuesday afternoon (Oct. 24th). Please sign up on the portal if you haven't already done so, ensure that you send your child's booster seat, skates and appropriate clothes and also send in the money if renting skates and helmets.  We will be leaving immediately after lunch.  Thank you so much to all the parents who have signed up to drive and confirmed their driver's abstracts.  Please don't worry if your child is also in cross country - there will be time to get to the race afterwards - Mrs. Roberts and I are coaches so we too will be leaving after we get back from skating.

Our Halloween celebration will be on Tuesday, Oct. 31st.  Your child can wear a costume but please remember it needs to be easy to take on and off as they will be going outside at recess and lunch and will even have gym that day.  You wouldn't want their costume to be ruined for Halloween night.  Thanks in advance to the following families for providing the snacks and goodies for our party.
Alanna - fruit plate,   Ava - Veggie Plate,  Steve - cheese/crackers or small sandwiches, Ben - sweet treat, Troy - popcorn/chips or pretzels, Sienna - other.  Please be sure to still send a lunch that day as we don't have our celebration until the afternoon.
