SWIMMING WEDNESDAY! :)

Dear Parents,

We will be swimming this Wednesday! If you are able to come as a volunteer, please call the school and  leave a message to confirm.

I saw a class today had to cancel as not enough volunteers were present. I am  not able to take the class without another adult, so we all really appreciate and value our wonderful volunteers.

I will send home a sheet tomorrow with upcoming swim days and hopefully we can have a sign up sheet started! I will post it here as updated!


In class we begin geometry!
We will play with clay this week and make shapes!

We will sort shapes and draw shapes!

We will watch a video about traditions and nature!

And this week, by popular demand- we have weekly homework!! 1 math and 1 writing assignment per week!
As well as daily reading this shall be French Fun for the whole family!

Looking forward to the week!

Happy Valentine's Day! Happy 100th Day of School!

Dear All,

Our class has been looking forward to the 100th day we've been at school this year!

This day falls on Thursday February 11th, which incidentally also happens to be the last school day before Valentines' day.

We will have a festive afternoon and the students have asked if they can wear pyjamas this day - which they can! (Weather appropriate please!)

Indoor shoes a must!

Snacks- ok but not obligatory!
I will make popcorn.
Students can bring nut-free snacks, and all snacks containing dairy must be labeled due to an allergy.
If students bring their own plate and water bottle, the environment will be happy.

We will organize snack tables with 100 snacks on each.
We will read 100 books aloud that day.
We will draw portraits of what we will look like at 100 years old :)
We will trace 100 fingers and make posters!

Many fun things that day!

Including....

Valentines!
Welcome, but not obligatory!

Best practice is - If you are going to make cards for some, please make them for the whole class.
