Our biggest highlight for this week has to be our trip to the pumpkin patch. We were so fortunate to have a warm, sunny day to enjoy our first field trip of the year. Thank you so much to our parent drivers for delivering everyone safely to and from the pumpkin patch and being good sports throughout the morning. We all had a lot of fun!
**I was hoping to post some photos here (I took a lot) but I am experiencing technical difficulties and it appears that the photos may have been lost :( If anyone took a group photo at the pumpkin patch, could you please email it to me at Amanda_Roberts@sd42.ca? Thanks so much!
Another highlight of the week was Keona's 'Principal for the day', a prize she won via the Entertainment book sales. Keona especially enjoyed her special lunch with Ms. Kirves and Amalia!
She did a great job of working with Mrs. Kirves to help keep our school a safe and enjoyable place to be. Well done, Keona!
Our bats decided to migrate this week and some of them even ended up in Ms. Rowledge-Toscani's bat cave! Please drop by the school if you have a moment and check this out (and take our bat quiz).
Reminders:
*Skating permission forms should be returned asap. If you are volunteering to drive, please make sure you have filled out a volunteer driving form and have had a driver's abstract sent to the office. Thanks in advance for volunteering!
*Your child should be bringing his/her planner and JRR home each night. Please check the front pouch for notices and ensure that your child reads 10-15 minutes each night. Grade one students should be practicing their 'words of the week' each day and grade 2 students should be studying their spelling words. Remember, 'Spelling City' is a great site to use to practice these words as it focuses on a variety of language skills (not just memorizing the words).
*Parent requests were made to change the school wide 'Costume Parade' from 9:40 to 8:40 on Halloween day and the staff has agreed to make this change so please feel free to hang around after the morning bell if you would like to enjoy this.
*A notice came home earlier this week regarding our Halloween Party but just to reiterate, students will be going outside for recess and lunch so an extra set of clothes should be worn under costumes if you are concerned about them getting dirty. Also, while we will have snacks at the party I do ask that you send a lunch and an extra drink to be enjoyed on that day.
*Please submit an earthquake kit and $4.00 for your child's memory book if you have not already done so. Thank you!
I will hope to have my camera sorted out soon and will post pictures of the pumpkin patch and our Halloween party when I am able.
Thank you,
Amanda Roberts
