Orange Shirt Day is Monday, Sept. 30th

We will be conducting a special Orange Shirt Day gathering on Monday. We have special guests speaking and Div. 4 will present our Say Something paddles. Please dress appropriately and if you have an orange shirt, you are invited to wear it.

A reminder that this is one of our more solemn events – O Canada will not be sung and clapping will not be expected. Thank you, in advance!

Cover Predictions past due!

Hey friends,

This morning finds me feeling a little bit better and able to spend some time marking your first piece of writing – Cover Predictions. I am still looking for predictions from: Janell, Frederick, Fran, and Josie. I do have a couple predictions without a name on them, so if this is you, please come see me Monday morning.

Have a happy weekend!

Welcome to your new class community!

Welcome new parents and students to Div. 4 (2019-2020)!!

I have sent home three notices for your child to review with you.

  1. An introductory letter (pink) to my class with information on how to get to Lanaway’s Lounge (Yay! You found it!). On the back is the list of School Supplies required for this school year. Please get these as soon as you can, as we will be needing many of these items immediately.
  2. Welcome letter (pink) from Maywood with options to purchase Maywood hoodies and t-shirts with our new logo. Optional
  3. Reminder to bring $5 for the class planner. Required

I look forward to getting to you all (parents and students); we have an exciting year ahead of us! Please feel free to visit, call, or email if you have any questions or concerns you would like to discuss.

The time has come…

Div. 4 students from 2018-2019, we will have our last community circle this Monday, Sept. 9th in the morning – see you in “homeroom”. We will say our goodbyes and then at 9:30(ish), we will send you to your new classrooms!

I’m excited for your new year to begin, and while I’m sad to see you go (We had such a great year!), I’m excited for what’s to come for you!

Please come visit me anytime! My door is always open should you ever need an extra listening ear.

Welcome Back, Maywood Learners!

I hope you have all had a wonderful summer; I know I certainly did!

I’m looking forward to seeing your bright and shiny faces the day after Labour Day. We have a 9:00am start on Tuesday, September 3rd. You will be dismissed at 10:00am. Wednesday we are back to full days!

Students will go to their old classrooms. I look forward to seeing you all again!

What to bring to Camp Elphinstone!

If you didn’t come to the parent info session about Camp Elphinstone, or you forgot to take a camp equipment/ “what to bring” list, I have included one here. 

*Please note: the list provided at the info session mentions cameras are optional. This is a typo. Cameras are not permitted on this trip. Maywood staff will be taking pictures and will find a way to share these photos with families. Below is the updated list for suggested things to bring.

YMCA CAMP ELPHINSTONE

There’s nothing quite like the great outdoors. Our Outdoor Education program is designed to get kids active and learning outdoors. Through meaningful experiential learning, kids develop strong and healthy minds and bodies while they learn and grow with friends. With fresh air, open skies, and a diverse ecosystem, the Pacific Northwest is an ideal environment for exploration and discovery.

Operating out of YMCA Camp Elphinstone on BC’s beautiful Sunshine Coast, our Outdoor Education program offers 144 acres of oceanfront property, with natural rainforest, quiet creeks and a rocky shoreline, just a 40‐minute ferry ride from Vancouver and walking distance from the Langdale ferry terminal in Gibsons. The program operates from September to June and is open seven days a week.

For more information, please visit: https://gv.ymca.ca/Locations/Sechelt/Gibsons/YMCA-Camp-Elphinstone

Student Leds are coming up!

We have been working hard this term and the students can’t wait to show you their progress. When you come to visit the classroom, they will lead you through some of their chosen work that they want to share with you. Each student will have some work at their table spot. Be prepared to ask about their successes and what they continue to work on. We look forward to seeing you!
