Week of November 11th

Today we were privileged to have 2 special guests in our room to speak about the importance of Remembrance Day.  Warrant Officer Mousseau and Major Braden explained their roles in the military and answered many great questions from the students.  The children were still talking about their cool medals and visit at the end of the day.  We were also lucky to listen to Mr. Chan in the assembly about his role in the military.  He popped in for a quick visit which was so nice.  We are so lucky to have parents in our community who serve in the military.  We thank all of you for your service.

Our letter of the week is "t" and our word is "it".  We were a bit short on time today due to our visits and assembly so we didn't spend as much time as we usually do on our journal writing.  We will revisit the letter and word on Wednesday.

Tomorrow you child will be bringing home their Initial Observation report.  We are so proud of each and every student and their progress and growth so far.  Please sign the last page and send it in at your earliest convenience.  We are looking forward to meeting with those of you who have signed up for an interview on Thursday.  Please remember that each interview is only 10 minutes in length.  It is important to stay on time in order to keep the schedule on track.

With the big dump of snow falling tonight, please remember to pack extra socks in your child's backpack.  An extra pair of mitts is always good to have in their backpacks as well.  We do stay out for 30 minutes in the morning and in the afternoon so please ensure that your child comes to school with snow pants, boots, a warm coat, a hat and gloves.
