Ms. Toor's Classroom Blog
Good afternoon families,
Sorry for another email today but I just received the schedule for the Pancake Breakfast.
Our class is scheduled to attend the breakfast at 11:15-11:45pm with Division 5 on the last day of school Friday December 20.
I do recommend that students still bring a snack for 10:25am and a lunch that they can enjoy later in the afternoon during a film as they may get hungry.
Thank you,
Ms. Toor
Good afternoon families,
Here is some information for the rest of the week and into next week.
Division 12 is first in the gym for Hip Hop, please be at school on time. If you are late (after 9am) please sign in with Ms. Boleak at the office and meet us in the gym.
For our performance we are asked by Ms. Sue (Hip Hop Instructor) to wear the following colours (blue, white, grey or silver/ sparkly items- snowflake colours) as well as toques and mittens. As well as pants with pockets if possible. Please keep in mind clothing should be light and not too heavy or too tight to allow for movement.

Good afternoon families,
I finally made it to Suncrest a little after the bell as it took me close to 3 hours to get to Suncrest from Langley during this morning’s commute.
Just a post to let you know Raz-Kids has been approved and your accounts are now restored.
Happy reading!
Ms. Toor
Good afternoon families,
Yesterday I sent out all the Raz-Kids information for one of our home reading programs.
Each sheet in your child’s planner has 3 points of key information:
Teacher username: ctoor0
Student username: (child’s first name)
Password: (icon)
Unfortunately, teachers just found out that our license is waiting for approval from the school district and we will have to wait until the approval goes through in order to start using the accounts.
Last years accounts expired on November 5 and we were supposed to start yesterday. Thank you for your understanding and patience and I will update families when we are ready to start.
Thank you,
Ms. Toor

Good afternoon families,
Here is another blog post with some important information for families!
Our class parent is Shelley West (Autumn’s Mom).
Shelley is looking for every parent to email her with:
Shelley will be putting the information all together as well as supporting the class with special events around the school.
Shelley’s email is shelleywest75@hotmail.com
Shelley will let me know which parents have responded and I will reach out to those she is still looking for information from.
There has been a change of scheduling. Please note the two changes below.
Photo re-takes: Friday November 1 (MOVED)
Spirit Day (PJ Day): Tuesday November 5 (MOVED)
Friday November 1st is now the day for photo retakes. Our spirit day has now been moved to Tuesday November 5. Only one parent so far has reached out to me about their child taking a photo re-take. Division 12 will still have a PJ Day on Friday and if your child is re-taking a photo please have them bring their PJs to change into after the photo is taken.
If you are bringing your pumpkin back to school carved please ensure your child’s name and Division 12 is on the back or bottom of their pumpkin so we can return it you. All the pumpkins brought to school will be displayed in the gym during our parade! A great Suncrest tradition since I have attended the school! So nice to see it continue!
Parade will still be in the afternoon around 1pm!
Thank you,
Ms. Toor
Good afternoon families,
Thank you for all your support, well wishes and patience this week! The wedding went great and was on the day of the atmospheric river! I am so glad to be back with Division 12 after a few days off celebrating with close friends and family!
Please have your child bring a bag for their Pumpkin. If possible please label your bag with your child’s name and division number.
Our time for the patch is at 1:15pm and hot chocolate is after at 1:30pm!
Families please email me if your child will be re-taking their photo so I know to send them to the photographer that day 
Halloween Parade is at 1pm. Parents are always welcome to view the parade outside (if it’s nice outside) or in the gym. In the afternoon Division 12 will be celebrating with some fun activities, music with Dr. Yanko and a short film to end our day!
PJ Day is our first spirit day of the year. I will be putting Division 12 students into house team colours and if students wear their PJs they can earn points for their team. We will have many opportunities for Suncrest students to earn points for their team all school year!
Next week I will be sharing November’s calendar which will have our date for the assembly Division 12 will be sharing in and family reading dates!
Thank you and enjoy your long weekend!
Ms. Toor
Here are some updates for the week and upcoming dates to note.
Picture day is tomorrow morning. Grade 1s and 2s will go for photos right after the Kindergarten classes. Don’t worry families, photos will be taken before students go outside for recess.
Our class had a few discussions on how we would like our classroom to sound, feel and look. Together we came up with our class charter – our promise that we will make to each other each day.
It was so great to see how many different ways you practiced spelling and learning your words last week. Have fun practicing your words this week!
