Week of Feb. 5th

Happy February and welcome to Kindness Month.  Today we talked about ways in which we can be kind to each other.  Our focus this month will be to do a kind gesture to at least one person each day.  The kids were very eager to make booklets about how they can be kind to others. 

A big thank you to all our parent volunteers last Thursday.  The kids enjoyed the winter workshops and learned so much from each of the stations.  Hopefully they came home and told you about weather, birds and snow/ice.

Our letter of the week is "e" and our word of the week is "me".  The kids made "Me Books" showing off all their special qualities.  We have so many little artists in Room 138!

Just a reminder to return library books on Friday in order for your child to be able to take out a new book on Monday.  Please do not put your child's library book in with the Snuggle Folder (sk students only)

A few parents have been requesting class lists for Valentine's cards.  We ask that you do not address each card to a particular child.  Instead, please write your child's name in the "from" portion of the card.  Each child will have a chance to pass out their cards into their classmate's "love monster" on Valentine's Day. 

Speaking of Valentine's Day... we have a special craft that we will be making (a love monster!).  Each student will require an empty kleenex box for this craft.  If you have empty kleenex boxes at home, please send them in with your child.  We will need 29 boxes so if you have more than one, we will gladly take them!

The Kindergarten classes are launching their social justice project and asking our whole school community to donate used shoes for a wonderful cause.  We encourage you to send in at least one pair of used shoes on Valentine's Day, but we will be collecting them right up until March break.  For more information on this worthy cause, please check this link:  Soles 4 Souls

Bake Sale this Friday - The grade two classes are running a bake sale this Friday and a special nature day.  For details on all the excitement, please check this link:  Bake Sale Poster
