School Supplies

Tomorrow, Wednesday September 15th, Nelson students will be starting in their new classrooms. Please ensure your child comes prepared with all of their school supplies for the year. Do not keep extra supplies at home as your child will need them as they run out and cannot share with other students during the pandemic. All supplies provided for your child will be stored for them until needed.
The list of School Supplies needed this year can be found on our school website HERE
Please let me know if you have any concerns. 
Thanks for your continued support,  Ms. Watt

What is the Story of Your Name?

Hello Grade Threes! Below are the questions you took home last night to answer. Here are the answers from my mom. I can’t wait to hear all of your wonderful name stories today!

My Name: Stephanie Danielle
Who was I named after? Why? You weren’t named after anyone.
Why did you choose my name? I liked the sound of the name and wanted something unique. At the time I didn’t know any family or friends with the name.
What does my name mean? crown or garland (Greek origin)
Was I named before before or after I was born? Before
Were you considering other names for me? Yes! I really liked Charlotte but it wasn’t very popular. I wanted to name you Amy but then your initials would be A&W, like the restaurant. I also liked Vanessa but your initials would be VW, like the car. Jennifer was considered as well but your uncle had just married a girl named Jennifer and I didn’t want two Jennifers in the same family.
I would have liked a more German name (my mom is from Germany) like Angelika, but I didn’t think people would pronounce it correctly, after having my own name, Regina, mispronounced for years.
I think the name Stephanie suits you very well!

Kennedy’s 5 Senses Poem

The Beach
Looks like waves crashing down the beach
Sounds like seagulls eating crabs
Smells like crabs pinching their claws
Tastes like a peanut butter sandwich
Feels like seaweed coming out from the sand

Happy Halloween!

HappyHalloweenPictureLoveItI hope everyone had a tons of fun on Saturday with your family and/or friends!! I missed seeing everyone at school in their costumes, but I hope you all had fun celebrating with your friends. Kennedy & I went for a short Trick or Treating around the spooky neighbourhood houses of my friend Fiona and her son, Nolan. It was so cool to see everybody’s creativity in handing out candy during covid. All of the houses we visited had candy chutes from either their balcony or front door, people throwing candy off of balconies, tables with pre packaged candy bags or they were using long tongs to hand out their candy to trick or treaters.
