Welcome to the blog!

Good afternoon families,

Welcome to the blog! I am excited for this school year! I will be using the blog as my primary form of communication outside of the planners and in person. I will post monthly calendars, highlights and upcoming dates/ information here on the blog.

Planners:

Thank you for supporting your child in bringing their planner to school each day. It is a safe spot for notices and a great tool to enhance organization, planning and communication. Each week take a look in the planner for your child’s words of the week.

Please practice reading those words as well as practice spelling in some fun ways (see image below).

Grade 1 words this week:

  1. a
  2. am
  3. an
  4. as
  5. at

Grade 2 words this week:

  1. road
  2. pack
  3. trip
  4. went
  5. away

Library

Library will be on Monday mornings. Please bring your books back in order to take new ones out. Ms. Ho (our librarian) and I will be encouraging Division 12 to start taking 2 books that are of our reading level and 1 book a family member can read to them or together.

 

Scholastic Orders:

Scholastic forms will be handed out today in your child’s planner. Our class code is RC130056 and I will place our September/ October orders on Friday October 11th at 12pm.

Outdoor Classroom:

As we are still working on our schedules we do not have a finalized day of the week yet, but most likely Outdoor Classroom will be on Wednesday mornings. Please be prepared for the weather every Wednesday!

Upcoming Dates:

Friday September 20- Pro-D-Day (No school for students)

Friday September 27- Orange Shirt Day and Celebration of Learning Assembly

Monday September 30- National Day Truth and Reconciliation (No school for everyone)

Wednesday October 9 and Thursday October 10- Welcome Conversation afternoon/evening

Monday October 14- Thanksgiving (No school for everyone)

Thank you,

Ms. Toor

Gum in the classroom

Good morning families,

This past week we have been having a couple issues of gum being brought to school.

Some of the issues include:

-chewing gum in the gym and during physical activities such as outside at recess and during movement activities in the classroom

-gum thrown in the cubby area (on the lights and walls)

-chewed gum on the classroom carpet and the floor

As this is an extra thing to monitor and now becoming a greater issue when a TOC (sub) is present, I would like to ask that gum is not chewed in the classroom or brought into Division 12.

Thank you for your time and attention,

Ms. Toor

Tuesday April 30

Good afternoon families,

Hope you all had a great long weekend!

Tomorrow is Class/ Whole School Picture Day for Suncrest!

We also have Library tomorrow with Ms. Ho!

See you all tomorrow,

Ms. Toor
