Month: September 2020

Hi Division 11 Families!

Here are some upcoming events and news about Library.

Orange Shirt Day (Wed. Sept 30)

Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day. We are encouraging all students and staff to wear orange to show that all children matter.  Please come to school wearing an orange shirt or any other article of orange clothing you may have at home. If you do not have anything orange that is okay, we can make something together in our classroom. We have already started talking about what Orange Shirt Day is and we will continue the conversation tomorrow.

Terry Fox Run

Friday is our Terry Fox Run. We will be running with our learning group (both Kindergarten classes) in the afternoon.  If you would like to contribute to our fundraising efforts, you may do so through the following link:  http://www.terryfox.ca/SuncrestElementary 

Library

Our Librarian, Ms. Ho, has brought bins into our classroom with books to borrow and will continue to swap them with new books each week. Each student can take books home starting tomorrow. We will be using an honour system at our school which means if your child brings 1-3 books home please bring them back when they are done reading them and they will go into the return bin.

Thank you,

Ms. Toor

 

 

 

Hi Division 11 Families!

Thank you to those who have already chosen a time on Wednesday Sept. 30 and Thursday Oct. 1 for our Parents as Partners Conversations. If you have not signed up for a time there are times still available for you to select.

On both those days students will be dismissed at 2pm.

The meetings will be 10 minutes long and will give us time to talk about your child as well as time to get to know each other.

Please come prepared to answer the following questions about your child as we only have a quick 10 minutes together:

• Interests/ hobbies
• Strengths
• Stretches (things you hope your child will develop/ learn)
• Goals for the school year (academic goal)
• One wish for your child (does not have to be academic)

Please have a listen to the story below. After listening to the story please come to the meeting with one wish you have for your child this year. The wish can be academic, social or anything you hope for them this school year.

After reading this story my wish for your children is that they enjoy coming to school each day. Your children have also selected a wish they have for this school year that I will share with you during our meeting.

Thank you and I look forward to meeting you over Teams,

Ms. Toor

 

Good Afternoon Division 11 Families!

Today you will be getting an email for Fresh Grade. It is an app that we will be using as a class to share learning with you as this school year is a little bit different. The email you will receive will have a link to your child’s account. I will post pictures to the app to share with you of your child’s learning throughout the school year.

Please create a parent account through the link so that you will be able to make comments and add pictures as your children are very excited to share their learning with you.

Thank you,

Ms. Toor

Each day we will spend time in our outdoor environment for around 30-60 mins on school grounds and next door at Suncrest Park. The following items on the list will support your child’s exploration outdoors.
