We have some special visitors that are joining our classrooms. We have inherited 2 class fish and we are so excited to have them join us. It was a quick move in and we will be sure to send home more information next week. If you have any immediate concerns please call or email us.

Today we were very chatty and we had to practice walking quietly from outside to our classroom a couple times. We also had difficulty settling down in class when the teachers asked everyone to be quiet. We know it can be so exciting to want to talk with our friends, but during class time is the time to be listening so that you will know what your task is. Please talk with your child regarding chatting when the teachers have asked them to stop.

We spent time catching up on our Phonics and doing our work for the first 6 sounds (S, A, T, I, P, & N) Ask your child what sound each one makes and then a word that starts with one of those sounds. 

Please wear anything Orange that you may have!!! 
Orange Shirt Day - Every Child Matters

Orange Shirt Day grew out of Phyllis’s account of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the William's Lake Residential School and it has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential schools happening.  September 30th has been declared Orange Shirt Day annually, in recognition of the harm the residential school system did to children's sense of self-esteem and wellbeing, and as an affirmation of our commitment to ensure that everyone around us matters. This date is significant because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools, and because it is an opportunity to set the stage for anti-racism and anti-bullying policies for the coming school year. Orange Shirt day is an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities across Canada to come together in the spirit of reconciliation.
