We're going on some field trips...
Field trip information has been posted on the blog field trip page. Payment will be collected in advance again, the cost for all the outings is $25 and is due November 2nd. See the Field Trip 2015-2016 page for details.

Fall and Hallowe'en projects 
Please send in....
-any empty toilet paper rolls in good condition
-small fabric scraps or remnants
-large fallen leaves
-yarn

SCIENCE
Please send an action figure that is 4" or smaller (strawberry shortcake doll, lego person, batman, etc...) to school with your child for our first science unit. The item must fit into a Solo beverage cupAnything larger will not work for our project please DO NOT send Barbies, or stuffies etc. as they are far too big. I will be marking your child's magic number on their item with sharpie to avoid any confusion. 

MATH
Please send a pumpkin with your child for TUESDAY OCTOBER 13th. We will be using it for cross-curricular learning until Hallowe'en. We will also be cooking some of them...so it may not come back home.

Parties!
We are going to try doing parties differently this year. I will be planning our celebrations with our students in the next few weeks and will then let you know what is needed from parents. Thank you for your patience. In the mean time, please discuss with your child their one favourite snack to have at any party (at school or outside school) as well as their one favourite activity to do at a party. Your help in preparing them for our discussion and brainstorm is appreciated.
