Hi Everyone,
I am sure you are all looking forward to Halloween tomorrow. Hopefully the rain holds off!
Everyone really enjoyed the costume parade in the gym today. It was a lot of fun to see everyone decked out in their Halloween gear. We also had a great time at our class party today. The big hit was 'The Hamster Dance!' Thank you to Young Hoon, Tony, Stephanie, Myra, Max and Brianna's parents for providing the food today. It was much appreciated! Thank you also to Novah's mom for helping us finish up our ghosts earlier this week.
Announcement/Reminders
*Friday, November 20th we have booked a field trip to Fort Langley (for Div. 6 and &). Parent drivers will be needed for this trip. We have submitted the portal form to Mrs. Watkins and she will post it once she has given it her approval.
*We are a 'west coast' recess district so please send your child to school prepared to go outside rain or shine. You can also send an extra set of clothes in case of accidents if you would like.
*Memory book money, planner money and student identification forms are still being received at the office. Thank you!
*The calendar is now updated to include November (on the monthly calendar section of this blog) Please check it each week for any additions/changes.

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all enjoy the long weekend (Professional Development Day tomorrow). We have been so fortunate to have such amazing weather this October. I hope you all have the chance to get outside.
Thank you for parents who have signed up for a class party this year. I know for some of you it is difficult to get to the school to do this so I have now assigned everyone a day if you were unable to get here. I will send a reminder about the party and what you are bringing before each event. We do have a nut allergy in our class. It is only if the nuts are consumed so we do not have to keep our class peanut free from a day to day basis but I will ask that you send peanut free treats for the party so that everyone can enjoy them. Thank you!
A big thank you in advance for these children and their parents, who will be providing snacks for the Halloween party next Friday: Young Hoon (fruit plate), Tony (veggie plate), Myra (sweet treat), Max (popcorn or chips) and Stephanie (cheese and crackers or small sandwiches). Please note that these will be enjoyed later in the afternoon so your child still needs to bring a lunch/recess snack that day. Also, I do recommend that you send a water bottle that can be refilled as needed for the party. The children are allowed to wear costumes to school that day. Please remember that they will still be going outside to play (unless it is absolutely pouring) so if you want them to slip on an extra layer before they go please send it in their backpack and write me a note.
I would also like to send out a big thank you to Vincent's mom for coming to help us with our ghosts on Wednesday. It was a messy and sticky job (and the kids loved it)! We will enjoy these in the classroom next week and then they will be sent home to enjoy for Halloween.
Thank you to everyone for continuing to send in planner/memory book money and sketch books for our art program.
****Please note that if your child may have a book bag with a single book in it (some groups will get their books on Monday as they haven't met with me during this rotation yet) in their backpack. This is for them to practice over the weekend. Please make sure it comes back on Monday so they can practice for their presentation. Thank you!
Finally a big thank you to Division 6 parents for helping your children sell/return the Entertainment books. Not only were we the first class to return the books/money, we also sold the most books. Well done! The PAC will be providing us with a pizza party.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
I hope you all enjoy a fantastic weekend with family and friends. I look forward to hearing all about everyone's Thanksgiving on Tuesday. You can feel very proud of your children as they were responsible for collecting 13 overflowing boxes of food for the 'Friends in Need Food bank'. With out their posters, announcements and help with decorating/delivering the boxes fewer people would have food for Thanksgiving this year. It would be great if you could remind them of how they have helped people in need when you sit down for you Thanksgiving dinner this weekend. Well done, Division 6!!
Reminders...
Next week is the cross country race for primary students who have signed up/been joining us for practices. At this point everyone from our class appears to have arranged for a ride. If anything has changed for you, please let me know on Tuesday so that I have time to check driver's abstracts if needed. A reminder with the details (time, place etc.) was handed out at practice today. If your child did not get one, please write a note or see me on Tuesday.
Your children have brought home their 'Poetry and More' duotangs. These will be coming home each Friday and should be returned to school on Mondays (Tuesday this week :)) Please take some time to read the poems and/or act out the play with your children.
Please send in your verification forms if you have not already done so, Mrs. Cochrane is busy making sure that everyone's information is up to to date.
Everyone needs to have inside shoes, our classroom is getting quite dirty with the change in weather and it is unsafe in the gym for students to wear wet shoes.
Have a great weekend, everyone!

Hi Everyone,
I hope you have all begun to enjoy your weekend! I would like to thank everyone for all of your support this last week. I have appreciated you taking the time to pop in and offer your condolences. It has been good to be back at school where your children's energy and humour have put a smile on my face.
I am going to post some October dates on the 'monthly calendar' today but I am at home so I will be adding some additional dates (if I missed any) when I go into the school on Sunday. Please check back at that time.
Here are a few reminders:
*please send in inside shoes, this is very important for keeping our school clean and for safety in the gym. Wet, grassy shoes can be very slippery on the wooden floor and can also pose a threat for other students in the class/school.
*next week is fire prevention week, you should have received a package from your child yesterday. The yellow slip of paper can be returned to enter a contest and we encourage everyone to come up with an emergency exit plan in case of a fire in your home.
*I have a class party sign up ready by the outside door (on a clipboard just inside the room). Please feel free to pop by and choose 1 party you would like to send treats for. If you can't make it in, don't worry as I will assign a party to those who don't sign up. I just like to give you the option of choosing a preferred time. I will put a reminder on this blog just prior to the date you have chosen.
*If you have not already done so, please send in $7.00 for the Memory Books/ $8.00 for the planners (planners can also be paid for via the parent portal)
*It appears that the right planners have now arrived! We are hoping to start using them next week.
*We have 'West coast' recess/lunch times in our district. Please ensure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. Unless it is an absolute downpour, students will most likely be playing outside. I would also like to utilize our forest regularly and it can be muddy in there on rainy days. You are welcome to send in a spare set of clothes for your child in case of an accident.
*If you have not already done so, please send in a 'sketch book' for your child. This does not need to be a high end option, the dollar store sketch books are fine. Also, pastels and paint sets will be used in this class so if you have not already sent these in it would be great if they could be sent soon. Thanks so much!
In closing, I would like to let you know that your children have taken leadership in a very important job at our school. They are taking responsibility for the 'Friends in Need' food drive. Today we decorated/delivered the collection boxes and made posters promoting this important event. Next week students will be making daily announcements encouraging everyone to bring in non-perishable food donations. Their efforts will help a lot of people have a Happy Thanksgiving. Well done, Division 6!!!
Have a great weekend, everyone!
