Class List:  Lark will be starting at a new school.  I would like to wish her a successful first day and will miss her tremendously.  Lark's classmates will be thinking of her too.

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!

UPEI School of Nursing Students:  Due to unforeseen changes in the UPEI School of Nursing program, our class will not be welcoming second year students into our classroom to observe us.  We will still be participating in a Teddy Bear Clinic on Wednesday, November 15th, though.

Have a wonderful week!
