Hi Everyone,

I hope you are all getting around safely out there, it is very icy!  The students have been staying inside for safety reasons but hopefully the ice will be melted enough by Monday to give everyone the opportunity to go and enjoy some fresh air and exercise.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*our field trip to Save-On-Foods is coming up this Wednesday.  At this point I have 1 confirmed parent.  If anyone else is able to join us, that would be great.  We will be leaving right away so it is really important that everyone is on time.  If the ice has not melted we will have to walk along the street the entire way as our short cut will not be safe.  Our tour begins at 9:00 so we will need to allow the full half hour to get there.
*Thank you to Chloe's mom for painting all of the children's hands/feet for a project we are working on (that is why your children's feet are purple today :))  Also, a big thank you to Chloe's mom for volunteering to walk with us on Wednesday.
*we now have enough cardboard (thank you for sending that in) but we are moving on to our nutrition unit and would like to ask you to save/send in all of your food flyers.  Thank you!  Also, if anyone works in the food industry and would like to come and talk to the class about it, that would be great.
*Twin Day is also next week (Friday, Jan. 27th).  This is optional but if your child is interested they can dress up the same as a friend (or 2 or 3 or....).  It can be as simple as wearing the same colour top and pants, hat etc. or wearing their hair the same way.
*I also received a flyer about an upcoming event at the public library- Saturday, January 28 11:00-2:00 will be Family Literacy Day.  This is a free event and if you would like more information you can see the flyer on our door or write a note in your child's planner and I will send you a copy of the flyer.
*If anyone has material scraps at their home that you are willing to donate, please send them in on Monday.  Thank you! :)
Save the date:  We have now confirmed a third opportunity to go skating on the afternoon March 9th and we are going to see a play at the ACT theater on April 20th.  You will receive portal announcements on both of these events closer to the date.

Enjoy your weekend, everyone!
