Hi Everyone,

There is a lot of excitement in the air, it must be getting close to Halloween :)  Please see the note below regarding our class party which will be happening in the afternoon on October 31st.  There will also be a costume parade involving the whole school in the gym at 8:45 that day.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

Our first class party will be on Halloween Day, thank you in advance to the following students and their parents for providing treats:

Fruit Plate: Mataya
Veggie Plate: Dyllan
Cheese/Crackers: Eugene
Sweet Treat: Quinn
Popcorn/Chips: Averyelle
Other: Collette

*Students are welcome to wear their costumes on Halloween day but they will be going outside unless it is a torrential downpour so costumes should be easy to take on/off (or durable).  The party will be in the afternoon but we will have a costume parade in the morning so it is best if your child is sent to school in his/her costume.  You do not need to send in planners that day as we know you will all be busy in the evening.  We will not be eating until around 1:30 so please send a lunch with your child as you normally do.

*Your child has now brought home a bag of books called 'Just Right Reading'.  There is a letter in the bag explaining that the books should be returned daily and will be changed every 2-3 weeks.  Your child will continue to bring home a book of his/her choice each day from the class library.  Please ensure that these books are returned to the school daily so they can be exchanged for a new book.

*FYI-I have updated the calendar on this blog to include important dates in November

*If anyone has any old racquetballs they would like to donate to the class they would be much appreciated.  I bought a canister at the beginning year but they have all now been lost of 'roofed'.  They are used by the students for wall ball.

*Please sign up for the Fort Langley field trip via the parent portal if you have not already done so.  Thank you!

*our leadership group is selling 'Smencils' (pencils that smell nice) as a fundraiser for local/global charities.  They are $3 each or 2 for $5 and will be sold at lunch and after school up to and including Halloween day

•A big thank you to our parent drivers who volunteered to take us to skating on Tuesday. We had a great afternoon there and everyone participated with a smile on their faces!
