Welcome!
I am so excited to share my newsletter with you on my new blog!
Thank you parents for the apples! We graphed apple colors, tasted 3 types of apples and chose our favorites, made apple prints and cooked applesauce! We will be finishing up our apple theme this week.
I also wanted to let you know that eye exams are FREE for children 12 and under. Once children are attending school, yearly eye exams are recommended.
Please feel free to send a water bottle with your child to school. It is nice for the children to be able to drink whenever they feel thirsty, rather than asking to leave the classroom to use the water fountain.
Much of the art work that the children create at school will not be sent home immediately. I use some for display, make scrapbooks (to be sent home in June) and will send some home throughout the year. If you are interested in helping glue art work into the scrapbooks, please let me know.

Upcoming Events:
Monday September 26th is a Pro-D day for teachers.
Students do not come to school that day. (I'll be learning how to set up my new blog!)
Terry Fox Run is Wednesday, September 28th at 1:00pm.
Toonies for Terry can be brought to the office if you wish to make a donation. The kindergarten children will walk/run around the school field.
Early Closure Days are Oct. 6 & 7.
Children are dismissed at 12:30 and eat lunch at home. Please send a good sized snack, as this is a long time for some children to wait until lunch.
Normally, this would be the time that the parent teacher interview schedule would be drawn up by the administrator. Due to this unusual year with job action, there will be no formal schedule for those early closures BUT teachers WILL BE available to meet in the afternoons from 1:00 - 2:30, on a first come first served basis. If those dates and times are not convenient to you, I will be happy to chat with you by phone or set up an appointment for another day.
