I hope you all enjoyed the weekend. I can't believe it is snowing already! This is what we will be doing this week:
LA: Focusing on sight words, letters, and printing. We are really focusing on holding our pencils properly.
Math: Focusing on addition, subtraction, and counting. We are loving our new felt boards!
Sensory: October is one of my favorite months! We are going to start celebrating Halloween early by having spooky sensory tubs.
Hygiene: This week we are going to introduce hygiene class. Our focus will be on washing and drying our hands properly, as there are lots of bugs going around!
Important Information:
Orange Shirt Day
We will be recognizing Orange Shirt Day on Thursday October 3, 2019. This will be an opportunity for students and staff to learn about the legacy of the residential schools, as well as indigenous ways of knowing. Staff will lead students through a variety of learning activities that will engage students in conversations about belonging, community, and inclusion. A powerful way to do this is through the indigenous pedagogy of circle. Circle defines inclusion, In the circle we are all equal. No one is above, no one is below. No one is in front, no one is behind. The Sacred Circle is designed to create unity. As a way to recognize this very important day, staff and students are encouraged to wear orange. This represents our continued commitment to the Truth and Reconciliation Act as well as honoring the survivors of residential schools. If you have any questions please let us know.
Terry Fox Run
Our Terry Fox run will take place on Wednesday October 2 from 2:00pm-2:45pm. Students will gather for a short assembly, followed by a 20min Terry Fox run on the path close to the Marlborough Park Community Center. On the day of the run, students are encouraged to bring a Toonie for Terry to show their support and help raise money for cancer research. If you have any questions please let us know.
Let's have a great week!
