Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you are all staying warm and safe during our snow day today.
Since we are out of the building today, I want to clarify how our Helper's Day schedule will work. If your child was scheduled to be the classroom helper today, don't worry, they won't miss out. Any student whose helper day was missed due to the snow day will have their turn moved to the following Friday. This week, our big focus in the classroom will be exploring the concept of "Needs vs. Wants." It’s always a great topic to dive into with this age group, and I can’t wait to hear their perspectives!
To wrap up our week on a high note, we are having a Fort Day this Friday afternoon! This is a great reward for all the hard work they’ve been putting in. Students are encouraged to bring:
A blanket * A favorite stuffed animal * A flashlight (if you have one handy!)
We will be cozying up to read and celebrate a great week of learning. As always, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, enjoy your week!

Happy Sunday, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing weekend. We truly had a fantastic first week back in the classroom. The students didn’t miss a beat. We spent time practicing our daily routines, revisiting our school rules, and brushing up on our letters. I have to say, they truly crushed all of it! I was deeply impressed by how quickly they settled back in and how much information they retained. Their focus and positive attitudes have made the transition into the new year seamless.

Hi everyone,
We had a very successful first 5 day week in KJ. The class has settled into our routines and have been doing a great job at respecting school rules.
We will be starting our "Helper Days" next week. I will send home a calendar with your students name labeled on the day they are allowed to bring in one item for show and tell.
Math: Last week we had the chance to briefly discover the numbers 1-5, this week will continue on and diver deeper into those numbers.
Literacy: We have started using the literacy program, fundations, to learn about the letters t, b and f. I hope some of you heard about our new friends Mama and Baby Echo, who help us learn!
Reminders:
Please check students homework bags nightly
Please send a fork/spoon with your student if it is needed for their lunch; as there are none available in the classroom.
Important Dates:
Wednesday, September 16th - Meet the Teacher
Thursday, September 25th - Terry Fox Run
Monday, September 29th - Orange Shirt Day
Tuesday, September 30th - No School (National Day of Truth and Reconciliation)
