Today we had our first four All About Me Bag shares.  It was great to see some of the students' favorite things!  Once the student presents, he/she will bring her bag of items home.

The Grade 2s began their PE block today and the Grade 1s will begin tomorrow.  For this subject, the students will join another class, allowing the opposite grade a daily small group learning opportunity!  We are so fortunate for this opportunity! 

In art, students drew self-portraits for their class shirt.  A note came home in the agenda explaining the shirt; we ask that all parents please make their Powerschool payment by Monday.

Today was a great first day of Grade One/Two!  We took first day photos, which have been emailed to each family and also are available to view HERE.

In the morning, we talked about emotions and how we felt on the first day of school.  Students chose emojis that represented their feelings this morning and then wrote about their morning.  

In the afternoon, Garth Prince came and shared his love of African music with the school.  His vocal and percussion talent was amazing!  

Reminders:
- Please read and initial your child's agenda nightly.  It is appreciate if you leave it open to the date and store it in the Ziploc bag.  This makes agenda time much smoother.
- Get to know me bags came home today, please ensure they are returned so your child can share his/her special items with the class this week.
- There was a newsletter that came home explaining most routines for our class.
- Students line up at the front of the school in the morning, but are dismissed from the back doors.  The closest parking is the pool.  Please ensure your child is aware of where you will meet them.  Bus students will walk together to the front of the school.

Grade 1 note: I will be going through the supplies this evening, so watch the backpack tomorrow for notes and extra supplies.

Grade 2 note: I went through all student supplies today and sent home anything that was extra.  Anything that is missing is noted on the paper that came home also.
