Happy Arbour Day & Hats on for Mental Health

Students came home today with a spruce or pine tree. Each Grade 1 student across Alberta was given a sapling to plant at home. All instructions are on the plastic bag that the tree is in. All of our students were fairly excited to plant a tree that will actually grow at home. We hope you find joy in planting this tree with your child. When you plant it, please take a picture and email your child's teacher. We would love to share those pictures in the classroom.

TOMORROW we are going to wear Hats for Mental Health. Your child can wear any hat they would like, however, if it proves to be a distraction to their learning, they will be asked to leave it in the coatroom during classroom time.
We discussed different feelings in conjunction for Mental Health.

If your child has yet to return their Teacher's Pet in-class field trip form a new one was sent home today. We have yet to receive more volunteers for this activity to happen. 

Volunteers = 1 for both classes

Please continue to bring in used books for the Book Drive

Home Reading- please ensure that your child is reading each night. It provides such rich and successful reading time between you and your child. Have your child read to you, read together as a family, read to your child. Anything, just keep reading! Ask your child questions about what they have read in the story. This helps your child's comprehension flourish.

Reminders:
May 16th - Pillars of Care Assembly at 1:15pm
25th - Spring Concert for Grade 1 - dress rehearsal during the day.
