 Hi Everyone,

I hope you and your loved ones are all well.  We are busy wrapping up our Owl unit and will be beginning our study of the human body/good health practices soon.   Your children have learned so much about owls and look forward to sharing their lap books with you before we meet (via Zoom) for conferences in March.

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*we will be celebrating Valentines Day on February 12th.  We recently received a very detailed email regarding Health and Safety around this holiday (below).   

Valentine Cards

Valentine card exchange is permitted as long as the cards are basic paper cards (cards with pens, stickers or candies are NOT permitted at this time).

Please ensure that you follow these restrictions due Covid 19.   If you have already purchased Valentine's with pens, stickers or candies, please remove these items before sending them to school.  I apologize for any inconvenience.

We will continue with sharing the pre-packaged foods on the date of the party as those are still allowed.  Please send them into the school by Wednesday, February 10th. 

Thank you to the following people for sending in these snacks to share (we have 16 students currently attending school):

Zoe-chips

Callum-fruit snacks

Sam-Pre-wrapped sweet treat

Kaidjal-juice boxes

Here is the list of students who are currently attending school that your child can use for writing their Valentine's Day cards.  Thank you for including everyone.

Aiden      Carys        Adam       Noah        Avery       Capri      Ellery       Zoe 

Olivia          Sam         Kaidjal         Leland       Holden        Vivian       Kinsley       Callum

*we will start Week 2 spelling on Tuesday, January 26th (due to the ProD Day on Monday).  Students will get extra class time to complete the sheet and unfinished work will be brought home on Wednesday and Thursday nights each week.  Please send the duotang back to school each day.  

*a reminder that tomorrow will be our first spelling quiz (5 words from the list plus 2 bonus words).  I will do my best to mark the quiz and send it home the same day.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
