Activity Books: Your child is welcome to finish the thematic activity books that are sent home with them for fine motor practice. They do not need to be returned to school. Merci!
Earbud Headphones: Kindly send 1 pair earbud headphones in your child's zippered bag, if you have not already done so. I would like to add a listening centre to our "Free Play" centres. Please also remember to label them. Merci beaucoup!
Fall Coat: Kindly ensure that your child is dressed warmly for outdoor recess daily, including a fall coat. Recess will be much more enjoyable for them.
Splash Pants/Rain Boots: Kindly have your child wear 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 school yard. Students go outside for recesses as long as it is not pouring, however, the play equipment may be wet.
Independence: Kindly have your child practice zippering up or buttoning up their coat at home so that they can get dressed for outdoor recesses and afternoon dismissal as independently as possible. Merci beaucoup!
