Notes:

Here are a few points of information pertaining to the week ahead:

Leader/Assistant:  Our first leader of the day will be Axton and our first assistant will be Benjamin this week.

Theme:  This week, our theme will be Insects.

Canada's 30x30 Nature Challenge:  Our class will be participating in the David Suzuki Foundation's 30 minutes for 30 days in May nature challenge.  We will be going outside to learn, for up to 30 minutes a day, in the green spaces on school property or at Rosedale Park.  By doing so, we will be creating a healthy nature habit while also addressing curriculum outcomes.  We will be going outside rain or shine!  

Morning Arrival Time:  Kindly note that the morning arrival time for walkers and students being dropped off is 8:15 a.m. or later.  Limited supervision is only available for bus students who arrive earlier due to bus route schedules.

Physical Education Classes:  Kindly ensure your child wears a t-shirt, under a long-sleeved shirt, on Days 1, 3 and 5 so that they can fully participate in physical education class without getting too hot.  

Spring Coat:  Kindly ensure that your child is dressed comfortably for outdoor learning and recess each day, including a spring coat.  That time will be much more enjoyable for them if they are prepared for the weather.

Raincoat/Splash Pants/Rain Boots:  Kindly have your child wear a raincoat, splash pants and rain boots on days when the ground is wet so that they do not get their clothes and shoes wet or even muddy on the schoolyard.  Students go outside for outdoor learning and recesses as long as it is not pouring, however, the play equipment may be wet.

Change of Clothes:  Kindly send a change of clothes, including a shirt, pants, undergarments and multiple pairs socks, packed in in a large Ziploc bag in your child's backpack each day.  Please also remember to label all of their belongings.

Sherwood School Clothing Sale:  Sherwood School's Home and School Association will be selling crested clothing year round in partnership with Allstar Cresting.  Kindly see the following link for further information:
