Hello!
I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend and that you were able to get outside to celebrate the first day of Autumn!
It was great to get to meet so many of you at Meet the Teacher Night this past Thursday!! The teachers were busy on Friday at the Leighton Art Centre working and learning on the professional day!!
Today we started our first day working with Gaily Bartel. Gail Bartel has an amazing blog. (Click on her name to go and check it out). We started to learn how to draw and paint a landscape. This is something we will be working on all year as we prepare for our field trip to Ann and Sandy Cross Conservation. This Friday we will be exploring what the landscape looks like from the ridge when we go on our community walk. We will be working with her again next Monday, September 30th (12:40-1:40), and Friday, October 4th from 1015-1115 and Monday, October 7th from 1240-140, please let me know if you would like to volunteer at either of these times.
This morning we had our Terry Fox Kick off assembly! Ask your child to share with you what super hero they would like to dress up as. They can dress up as a fictional or non-fictional super hero! I sent out a group email that included a more detailed letter about the run. Please let me know if you did not get the email.
I had quite a few students go home early today as they were not feeling well. Please make sure to take care of yourselves and rest up if you are not well.
Homework:
Parents: please make sure you have returned your Entertainment books if you are not going to buy them.
Please read email about Terry Fox week and the many volunteering opportunities that are coming up.
Students: read the blog and read 15-30 minutes and record in your home reading sheet.
share with your families what you did with Gail Bartel today.
question for the blog:
What is our fundraising goal for Terry Fox? and What did you do on the weekend that was outside?
