Good afternoon families!
A reminder that tomorrow is “Twin Day.”
Twin day is a day to dress the same as a friend, sibling or another member of our school community. Dress up to earn points for your house team.
If your child does not have a twin! They can be mine!
I will be wearing black pants, a white shirt and a jean (blue) jacket.
See you tomorrow!

Welcome back! I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing Spring Break!
Here is a quick house keeping message:
A reminder to please bring back your indoor shoes, boots and an extra change of clothes to keep in your cubbies. Please label all items and the bag the clothes are in.
Before Spring Break we sent home books for reading practice. Just like planners please bring them back to school each day and once a week I will be giving new books home.

Good morning families!
Happy new year and welcome back! It has been a great two days catching up with everyone and sharing about our holidays! Here are a few reminders, house keeping information and the calendar for the month! As it is still early on in the month there may be dates added as we go along!
Please bring back to school your extra clothes and shoes. A friendly reminder to please label your bag and all items of clothing as many students are around the same size. As we go outside each day for recess, lunch and outdoor activities please bring extra socks, rain coat, rain pants and boots. If clothing gets sent home, please replace as needed.
We will continue to go outdoors each Thursday rain or shine to explore themes in our curriculum and explore our community by partaking in a variety of learning activities. Please be prepared for the weather each week.
As we are moving into the second term and developing our skills, it’s important to continue reading each day for 10-20 minutes. Part of this time can be going through the previous weeks words their way cards to develop our phonemic awareness, looking at the words of the week on cue cards to develop our sight word vocabulary, playing reading games, reading on raz-kids or writing in journals.
Library will continue to be each Wednesday morning. To take out new books, please return your books each week. Ms. Ho and I are continuing to encourage Division 12 to take out two books around their reading level and one book a family member can read.
In our classroom we will be starting the conversation with age appropriate literature to introduce Black Excellence Day to students and to continue guiding our learning for students who were introduced to the Black Shirt Day movement the past few years.
Please join us for our next Family Reading morning from the first bell 8:50-9:10am.
Below is our calendar for the month
