BOXTOWN
We had so much to do last week that I
postponed building Boxtown until this week.
If you send recyclable things on Monday, we can still use them.
REMEMBRANCE
DAY
The
students will be having their Remembrance Day ceremony this week on Thursday,
November 7 from 10:30 am to 11:00 in the chapel area. Each class will be participating in this
ceremony with a short poem or song and we will finish with a minute of silence
at 11:00. Parents are always welcome to
join us if they wish.
THANK
YOU
Thank
you to all of the snack parents for our party treats last Thursday. They were delicious (and creative).
FAMILY
TREE HOMEWORK
I am sending home a “Family Tree”
sheet with your child on Monday. Please
help them write the names of their family members in the appropriate spaces. They are supposed to draw a small picture of
each person and colour the tree. Please
return this sheet to school next week.
CARE BUDDIES
We
started something new last week called Care Buddies. Each morning after O Canada, the children
gather in small groups of three and talk to each other. They start with hello and how are you? They may talk about what they did last night
or any other topic that they choose. The
purpose of the Care Buddies is to build a sense of community and belonging for
each child. We will keep the same
Buddies until Christmas time and then switch.
We tried to make the groups, not with best friends, but with classmates
that they did not know as well. It would
be helpful if everyone could come to school on time, so that the children do not
miss out on this special activity.
