Fin’s Friends

This is a programme from the Vancouver Canucks organization which focusses on personality traits involved with social and emotional learning.  We will be doing several lessons over the course of the school year.  We began our lessons by discussion some personality traits such as: kindness; friendliness; and perseverance. We read a book called, “I Like Me”, which is about a chubby pig who likes herself for being just the way she is – whether she is on her own or with others.  Students then thought about things that they like about themselves – things they are good at doing, how they treat others, etc.

They then created wishing well art pieces with their written statement about themselves incorporated into the art.

I look forward to many more lessons over the school year.

 

 

Halloween Celebrations

Next Monday we will be celebrating Halloween at Rosser.  Here is the schedule for the day:

9:00 a.m. – Halloween Assembly and Costume Parade – our Grade 2’s will be presenting their Fall poems!

** Students should come to school in their costumes prepared for this early assembly. They may bring a change of clothes for after the assembly if they will not be comfortable in their costume all day.  A reminder that Burnaby School District has a “No weapons” policy which includes any ‘toy’ weapons.  Please do not send any of these ‘accessories’ to school with your child’s costume.

10:45 a.m. – Pumpkin Carving with our Div. 2 buddies

** These pumpkins will be taken to the Confederation Park Train for their Halloween display.

Bake Sale – Tuesday, October 25th

Rosser Leadership students are planning a Bake Sale next Tuesday at noon to support several of their causes: their Adopt a Village in Ecuador, Community Homelessness, and the Grade 6/7 Camp next June.  If you are interested, please send in cash on Tuesday for your child to purchase a treat.  All items are either $.50 or $1.00.
