We had lots of fun this morning at the Fall Dance! We read a great book to get us in the mood just before the dance: Shake dem Hallowe'en Bones.
Here is a picture of the last page of the book to give you a little sample of the book:
Here is a photo of the DJ and the MC. They were terrific, and they kept us moving. It was a great way to start the day!
Also, thank you for supporting the Grade 8 classes with their fundraising efforts today.
As you know, tomorrow is Hallowe'en. Some children like to wear their costumes at school on Hallowe'en. If your child would like to wear a costume tomorrow, please have him/her wear his/her costume over his/her clothes if possible. We will have the children take their costumes off by morning recess. Please send an extra bag (e.g., a plastic shopping bag) so we can help your child pack up his/her costume. Please remember, any masks and weapon-like parts of the costume (e.g., swords, guns, hooks, lazers, etc.) should stay at home.
Fall Dance ...
The Kindergarten classes will attend the Fall Dance tomorrow from 9:30 to 10:00 a.m. As was mentioned in a previous email from the school, each student is asked to bring $2 for the dance to help pay for the DJ and to support Grade 8 fundraising. Snacks will also be on sale at the dance: $2 for a cookie and $1 for a ring pop.
Hallowe'en Treats ...
In the days following Hallowe'en, please limit the amount of candy that you send to school with your child. Please do not send more than one or two treats with your child each day. As always, please make sure the treats are peanut and nut-free to help keep all of our children safe at school.
If you and your family are celebrating, we send you wishes for a Happy Diwali!
Our Kindergarten class will be going to the Community Safety Village of York Region to participate in the fire and injury prevention programmes on Tuesday, November 14th. The Safety Village is located in Bruce's Mill Conservation Area.
We will travel by school bus, and we will be leaving the school by 9:15 am. We will return to school by 2:30 pm. We will be eating our lunches at the Community Safety Village. (Please remember to make sure that your child's lunch is peanut-free and nut-free.) The cost of the trip is $7.50. Please go to School Cash On-line to pay for the trip and give consent for your child to attend.
Each class is able to bring 4 parent volunteers to help supervise students. Please note, all volunteers need to have an up to date police-check on file at our school. If you are interested in accompanying us on the trip, please let us know. If we get more than 4 volunteers offering their services, we will draw names.
Wishing you and your family a very Happy Thanksgiving!
After reading about and discussing the idea of being thankful, we asked the children: Who or what are you thankful for?
You can see their answers in the photos below:
Just a reminder, Wednesday is Day 5 at school. Please have your child return his or her library book in the large plastic library bag.
