Thursday, August 30th

Boys and girls, I am so excited to see you on Tuesday. Mrs. Debbie and I have been working all week getting the classroom ready. We have new owl signs, a bus dramatic play area, and, of course, we still have our lego wall! We cleaned up the book area and have 6 baskets full of English and French books for you! Your name tag is already up in the coat room. All SK's are coming to school starting Tuesday. Full day, every day. On Tuesday, we will also be having some JK's coming to visit with their parents. Some JK's will visit on Wednesday with their parents. By Thursday, everyone will be at school. I hope our SK's will be good leaders and be welcoming to our new JK's.

On Tuesday morning, when you come to school, just look for Mrs. Debbie or myself - we will both be holding owls! Our line is the same as last year, by the fence.

Don't forget to ask your parents to pack a healthy snack - with a #1 on the container, #2 is your lunch container and #3 is your afternoon snack. We don't want anyone eating their sandwich at 10:00 a.m.! Bring your velcro shoes and your yoga mat. Ask your parents to write your name on everything. You know how things can get mixed up in the coat room. You can practice putting your shoes on by yourself.

To our Grade 1's: good luck boys and girls. You will learn so much in Grade 1 - reading, writing and so much more! Don't forget to wave when you see me in the hallway!

Some people have been asking about my sunflower. Yes, it is a sunflower - and it has 5 flower buds on it! In fact, it's so heavy, that it is falling to the ground! I also have one growing in my vegetable garden - but it's not ready to bloom yet.
