Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone!  Enjoy your long weekend!

Updates/Reminders/Thank you's

*A big congratulations to your children who led a very successful food drive at Fairview this week.  Well done, Division 10!  The food will be picked up tomorrow at 9:00 am so there is still the opportunity to send food in if you would like to.

*Thank you to Hailee's mom for sending in some gently used books to add to our classroom library

*Thank you for supporting the new mask mandate.  Your children have been doing a great job of wearing their masks!

*I have put together a package of Thanksgiving activities (that we did/are doing this week) for students who have been absent all week.  Please feel free to drop by our outside door after school or send a sibling/neighbor on Friday if you would like to have them for the long weekend.  Here is a link for the craft which can be kept at home once it is complete.

Your child will trace/cut out the wallpaper feathers and can use a glue stick to attach them to the back of the wood slice.  They can also label the back with their name and the year.  I will send them home when they return if you prefer.

*Please send back the 'I'm thankful' turkey on Tuesday if you would like me to include it in your child's memory book.  

*I am looking for a parent volunteer who would be willing to organize the Scholastic order each month.  You would be prepping them to be handed out, orders will be accepted directly through Scholastic so you would not need to be part of that process.  Please email me if you are interested:  amanda_roberts@sd42.ca

*Please pay $7.00 for your child's planner via the parent portal if you have not already done so. Thank you for checking/initialling the planner daily

*Also a reminder to please complete the parent portal release forms (for walking field trips, media release etc.)

*Our classroom door is open the majority of the day to provide optimal air circulation.  Please ensure that your child has an extra layer to put on if they get cold.

*In addition to the school supplies that you have already sent in, students will need inside shoes, a sketchpad (many have brought these in already) and headphones for this school year.  Thank you

*Our first class party will be on Friday, October 29th.  We will be simplifying the food for these celebrations again this year.  I will send out a reminder a week before each party but wanted to let you know the plan for this school year.  We currently have 19 students in the class.
