This week we have been sharing our ideas about what we have to be thankful for in our lives. The profound and mature discussions and reflections would fill your heart, I’m sure. We also gathered acorns and leaves which have been used in an art project.
Several silly songs about ducks and geese have been part of our days, along with a sweet old nice song about the moon. Ask your kids to sing them for you.
The whole school practiced a “Hold and Secure Drill”, and we will have an Earthquake Drill next week. With this in mind, if you haven’t yet returned the yellow Reunification Form, please do so as soon as possible.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays, we use the school gym. Please ensure your child has a pair of shoes with non-marking soles that are suitable for running (laces or Velcro; without a thick sole). If your child does have appropriate footwear they will be asked to participate in socks or bare feet.
We go to the library on Tuesday and Thursday as well… please help your child remember to bring back school library books on these days.
It is now the beginning of the wet and rainy season. With the rain comes the inevitable encounters with puddles and slips on wet grass. If your child attends the Monday/Tuesday group, please send along a change of clothes and a pair of dry socks to keep at school to help survive these little mishaps.
Please save and send to school your empty cereal boxes. We will cut up them up in such a way that one needs to distinguish between the French and English writing to complete bilingual puzzles!
Please be reminded that October 20th is a Professional Day. Teachers will be hard at work but there are no in-person classes for students.
For a special Science/Astronomy lesson, check out the partial solar eclipse in Vancouver on Saturday morning!
