 Reminders:

You can send indoor shoes to school with your child now.  Please label them with your child's name. 

We go outside for gym, learning and body breaks. Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather - it can be quite chilly some mornings. 

Our Day:

We had gym for the first time today. We had fun playing relay type games and going over some fundamental movement skills like marching, squatting, arm circles and jumping. 

We started friendship journals today. Each child will have a turn to be the "friend of the day" that we learn about. Students ask 5 questions, and then write about their classmate in their journals. Today, the students enjoyed getting to know Mrs. Campbell, Ms. Wauthier and Mr. Kai.

We are doing some colour experimenting in class. We are using coffee filters, markers and some magic water to see what happens when we mix the primary colours. Not all classes have finished this yet, so let's keep the colour combinations a surprise!

We started a back to school ABC brainstorming list. Have fun playing a game at home together - pick a category and go through the ABC's. Some of what we came up with are A: apple, B: bus, C: classroom, etc. You can choose any category like animals, food, places etc. and play at home together. It is a favourite game of ours to play in the car.
