PARENT-TEACHER INTERVIEWS: 

Last week I sent home the paper for parent-teacher interviews.  Please return the paper (if you have not already done so) tomorrow so that I can begin to make the schedule for the interviews.  Parent-teacher interviews will take place on Thursday, November 19th, 2015 in the evening and on Friday, November 20th, 2015 in the morning.  Thank you for your cooperation. :)

LAST DAY FOR MY STUDENT TEACHER MS. STEF: 

On Wednesday we will say goodbye to Ms. Stef who has completed her kindergarten internship in my class.  We have enjoyed having her with us these past two months and wish her great success as she embarks on her teaching career.  We will miss you Ms. Stef!

* I have posted new pictures of the children in the photos tab.

CHANGE OF CLOTHES FOR YOUR CHILD: 

If you have not already done so, please send in a complete set of extra clothes to be kept at school for their child.  This includes:
  • a long sleeve shirt
  • a pair of pants
  • underwear
  • socks
COLD WEATHER:

With the colder weather, please be sure to send your child to school with a hat, scarf/neck warmer, and gloves/mitts.  It might be a good idea to begin sending your child to school with boots as well since the children are outside for at least 15 minutes at recess and at least 30 minutes at lunch time. Thank you :)

Please continue to have your child practice writing his/her name EVERY DAY. 

REMINDER:

The blue and purple duo-tangs will be sent home every Monday and must be returned the following Monday.  Throughout the week, please review the sound of the week and have your child complete the corresponding pages in the purple duo-tang.  Please have your child practice singing the weekly songs/poems and complete the activity at the bottom of the page (if there is one) in the blue duo-tang. Please refer to the introduction letter for a more detailed explanation of this on the 2nd page in the blue and purple duo-tangs.
