 February 8th Edition of

The K/1 Class News


Greetings Everyone!

We had rather low attendance this week as another illness seems to be circulating. I am hoping everyone will be healthy for next week. A friendly reminder to please include both me and the office in emails about any absences as I do the attendance and Marcie follows up. Also, if either of us is away, it’s helpful to have this information go to two places. Thanks!

 

We had another session of our Oral Language Groups and we started learning about compound words. The kids rocked this! The class worked hard on their writing this week and have started identifying their strengths and goals for improvement. We also started a story making workshop. 

 

We made Valentine’s mailboxes and everyone is getting excited about Valentine’s Day next week. I sent home a class list of names so that if your child wants to make cards, everyone can be included. We will have a little Valentine’s Day Party on Thursday, February 15th as there’s not a lot of time on the 14th given the early dismissal. If you would like to send in a healthy snack to be shared, we will have a little celebration and take home the mailboxes. Please let me know if there's anything you do not want your child to eat.

 

Important Dates to Remember:

February 14 Valentine’s Day/Early dismissal (12pm please be on time).

February 19 Family Day (no school)

February 23 School in session

February 28 Pink Shirt Day (to support anti-bullying) 

March 14 Last Day of School before Spring Break 

 

Warmly,

Ara Van Riel
