TERM 1: 3R'S ASSEMBLY

This morning, we had a whole school assembly where we discussed the 3R's: respect, responsibility and ready to work/learn.  Three students from each class received certificates.  Before the assembly, I discussed this with the class and explained how difficult it was for me to select only three students to win certificates.  I reminded them not to get discouraged (if they did not win a certificate) and to keep working hard and maybe next time it would be his/her turn.  I hope there were no tears or broken hearts this evening. 

SCHOLASTICS:

I am sending home the flyers for the month of December this week.  Please note that the deadline to submit your order is Wednesday, December 6th, 2017. If your order if a surprise, I can send it home in a sealed envelope.

THEME TABLE:

We are continuing to learn about bears this week. I invite the children to bring in books, toys or objects related to our theme that we can place on our theme table in the class. Please be sure to write your child' s name on the item or book so that I can easily return it to you. Thank you in advance!

Last week, I send home an important paper in a ziploc bag pertaining to the report cards. Please sign the back of it and return it to school ( if you have not done so already).

Due to the assembly, we were not able to visit the library this week.

Please refer to the introduction letter for a more detailed explanation of this on the 2nd page of both duo-tangs.
