October 22/20

 Hi Everyone,

I hope you have all been having a good week.  It looks like good weather for our upcoming weekend so I hope everyone has the chance to get outside and enjoy it.

As I'm sure you are all aware, there have been 3 nearby schools added to the Fraser Health list of school exposures (Allouette Elementary, Edith McDermott Elementary and Maple Ridge Secondary).  It has been my experience that Scout troops, soccer teams etc. can often include children from a variety of schools.  I thank you for your continued support in keeping your children home if they are feeling unwell.  Your children have been very cooperative with the hand washing/sanitizing that we do numerous times a day and I keep the door open to improve air circulation but many of the health and safety protocols that are encouraged  in the community are not expected/possible in schools. 

Our Halloween celebration will be taking place next Friday, October 30th.  Students are welcome to wear costumes that day.  We will be going outside for recess/lunch so I encourage students to wear a set of clothes underneath if possible. Please send a lunch/waterbottle as normal as we will be having our party snacks later in the day.

The number next to your name indicates the snack that I am requesting you send in.

1. Chips (individual bags, please)

2. Fruit snacks

3. Sweet treat (such a mini candy bar-no lollipops, please)

4. Juice boxes

*****For the Halloween party, please send in your contribution on Wednesday, October 28th.  I will need to purchase any items that are not brought in by this date****.

*Please do not send any additional items to be shared with the class this year 

*Reminder that tomorrow is a NID.  There is no school for students.

*A big thank you to Noah's mom for making playdough for the class to enjoy

*Over the next week, your child will be getting an extra book in their planner bag.  You will be able to identify this reader's workshop book by the post-it inside.  Please have your child practice this nightly, they will be presenting this (as part of a group).  

*Scholastic catalogues were sent home this week.  This year, all orders will be delivered directly to your home but our class will still get credits which we can use to purchase new books.  This is a great way to expand our classroom library.  Our class code is on the catalogue.

*I sent home a RAZ kids letter yesterday.  You only need to send in the bottom portion if you are unable to access the site/information yourself. I am happy to help connect you if you are having difficulty.  I am unable to send home levelled book bags this year due to Covid but I am hoping you will be able to access books appropriate for your child via this site.  

*Our leaf people turned out great!  I had to send the extras home because we don't have compost bins in our room at this time

*We had our last Pow Wow dance session today.  Ask your children to show you some of their moves!

November 2-PJ Day. With Halloween and the time change we thought this would be appreciated by everyone! :) 

November 5-Retakes. Please put a note in your child's planner if you would like them to have retakes.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Mrs. Roberts
