October 4/19

Dear Parents,

Our class is in charge of our annual Thanksgiving food drive.  Please send in non-perishable food items next week if you would like to make a donation.  Our motto in Division 10 is, 'Big People Can Make a Big Difference' and we are doing this by creating posters, decorating and delivering boxes and making announcements to collect food items for this great cause.  Donations will be gratefully accepted until Friday, October 11th.

*over the next week, you will see a paper in your child's planner bag recommending some reading strategies.  We are learning about these in class but it would be helpful if you could please review these with your child at home and notice when you see them using these.  Thank you!
*please send in headphones, earthquake kits, entertainment books and blue registration forms if you have not already done so
*just a reminder that we go outside for forest fun each Thursday (rain or shine).  Please send your child dressed appropriately for the weather
*we have now put a skating field trip announcement on the portal.  We will be looking for parent drivers so please ensure you have an updated driver's abstract on file.  If you aren't sure, please contact Korri or Karen in the office at 604 465 9331
*our new planners are now in.  Students will begin using them on Monday.  Please recycle the temporary planner but make sure that the bag they came in comes to school.  I will not be handing out new ones in order to keep down plastic waste.
*the office has asked me to remind you to please complete the form via the parent portal for the Emergency Release day.  Thank you!
*Mrs. Pace announced today that there will be a 'pause' on bringing Pokemon cards to school.  Our class had been doing really well with them but unfortunately today one of the students Pokemon album went missing. We think it occurred when we were at the gym and everyone took a look in their backpacks but so far we've had no luck finding them.
*here are some important dates from our leadership students:

Oct-24: silent day
Oct-30: movie night
Nov-6: donut day
Nov-19: WE day
Dec 9-13: spirit week

I will be away next week but I am leaving the class in the very capable hands of Harry Edwards who has regularly worked at Fairview over the past few years.  I have left him a very detailed day plan and Harry has worked in my class before so I am sure the students will have a great week.

Thank you,

Amanda Roberts
