Hello families of Division 11!
Looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!
Hope everyone had a restful holiday break. Below are some reminders and routines to support our return to school for returning and new Division 11 students.
Outdoor Classroom
We will continue to go outdoors rain or shine for recess, lunch and learning activities. Please ensure your child has appropriate weather attire. It is helpful to have rain boots at the school for Outdoor Classroom as the students love to explore water and often get their feet wet in the creek.
Indoor Shoes and Extra Clothes
Everything in your child’s cubby was sent home before the holiday break. Students will need to bring back their indoor shoes and extra clothes back to school this week.
Students will need (at minimum):
- Pants
- Shirts
- Underwear
- 2 or 3 Pairs of Socks
Scholastics
Class code: RC130056
Library
We will have Library every Tuesday. Please return your child’s books by Monday or Tuesday each week.
Masks
While wearing masks is not mandatory, everyone wearing masks is part of our classroom/school culture, so we help protect one another as a community of learners.
Planners
Continue to check your child’s planner for important messages, reminders and notices. Please sign under each day and check the front planner pocket for anything sent home.
Words of the week
Weekly words will be posted in your child’s planner to practice at home at the beginning of each week. You can practice reading them, writing them on whiteboards, playing word games or writing them down in sentences.
Words their way
We will practice our cards throughout the week during our “Word Work” portion of our Daily 5 Literacy Program. At the end of each week you will find the cards in the planner pocket of your child’s planner. Please take them out and keep them at home for your own practice such as in individual envelopes or bags. Your child will receive new cards each week to help develop our literacy skills.
January Calendar
Thank you,
Ms. Toor
There won’t be outdoor time on every Thursday according to the January calendar ?
That is correct. The students will do drama with Ms. R as I have an allotted prep time during our usual outdoor classroom time. The students will still go outside for recess and lunch.
