September 15, 2017

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to Division 8's class blog.  This will be the place where you will receive weekly reminders and updates.  Once I receive permission from parents (via the  portal) I would also like to post some photos of your child's learning on this site.  Please check back here each week for the latest news! :)  We are off to a great start this week.  We are beginning to get some routines in place and it is great to see your children beginning to develop new friendships.  I am looking forward to a a great year!

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*our Terry Fox Run will be on Thursday, September 28th.  You will receive a letter from our 'Terry Fox Run' committee via the portal outlining the details but the main things you need to know are:
1)Your child's walking permission (done via the portal) must be signed in order for them to participate on the route
2)Your child should dress for the weather that day and wear comfortable runners-we will be running/walking rain or shine
3)We are collecting donations and are hoping for $3/students to help reach our school goal of $1000
4)Volunteers are needed

*Please send in the $5 for emergency supplies if you have not already done so
*We are also collecting earthquake (comfort) kits at this time
*If you have not already signed up for a class party, please come by or send me a note.  Each family will send a treat for the class to share for one party during the year.  If I don't hear from you I will add your name to the list and notify you via this blog the week before the party-our first party is on Halloween
*Entertainment books were sent home today-please return these (or the money if you are able to sell them) at your earliest convenience.  The PAC is running a contest where the first class to return the books or money gets a free pass to Extreme Air Park!
*Is there a parent who wouldn't mind making some play dough for our class?  Please see me or write me a note if you are able to do this.  Thank you!
*Our first Scholastic book order will be coming home next week
*Thank you to all of you who have sent in the $55 or paid via the parent portal for your child's school supplies
*Please send in inside shoes to help keep our school/gym clean
*Tuesday, October 24th we are booked to go skating at 1:00 (volunteer drivers will be needed)
