Picture Day!

Everyone looked very beautiful and handsome today for their pictures, and most of you even smiled! I can't wait to see how they turn out.

Grade One Homework:

*Look for words in the "at" family this week when you are reading, and words that have the short a sound. How many can you find?

Elementary Drama will be starting on Wednesday, September 29th, from 3-4pm on the stage for any students in K-5 who are interested. We will have a drama club for the fall, where we will play drama games, develop our voices, and practice a short play for Christmas. In January we will have try-outs for a bigger play to take to the drama festival. You must come to drama club if you want to try-out for the play in January.

On Thursday afternoon at 1pm our school will joing hundreds of schools across Canada to participate in the annual School Terry Fox Run. Please bring in at least $1 for this worthy cause, as Terry's dream was to raise $1 for every Canadian citizen for cancer research.

School Bus Evacuation

In the fall, we always practice Fire Drills, Evacuation, and Lockdowns, but the favorite is Bus Evacuation! What fun to jump out of the back of the bus!

Mrs. Jones' class practices for the assembly. I hope the real thing goes better than practice! Nevertheless, the kids are cute as they practice and try to balance the microphone, papers and masks.

Back in the Swing of Things!

Thanks to everyone who signed all the forms that come home the first week. I know sometimes they seem redundant, but we get free stuff (penicls, stickers, books, etc.) for our class for every set that I send back, even if everyone checked "no".

Thanks also to everyone who sent in the $7 for agendas. If you haven't sent it yet, please do so as soon as you can.
