Notes

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

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

Theme: Our theme will be Polar Animals this week.

Assessment and Evaluation: I will be working with each student individually to assess their progress in fine motor, early numeracy and early literacy development this week.  Our daily routine will be adjusted slightly to accommodate this activity. 

Extra Hat and Mittens/Gloves: Kindly double-check that your child has an extra hat and an extra pair of waterproof mittens/gloves in their backpack each day.  Please remember to label them too!  Merci!

Head Lice: Kindly check your child's hair for head lice regularly.  Thank you for taking a proactive approach towards reducing the spread at home and at school. 

Sweater/Sweatshirt: Kindly send a sweater/sweatshirt with your child if they are wearing a t-shirt.  Our classroom is cool when the school doors closest to our classroom are open. 

Winter Activity Show and Share: Thank you for emailing me a photograph of your child participating in an outdoor winter activity for our integrated Winter Activities themed Show and Share on Friday, January 23rd.  All students were very excited to tell the class about their chosen activity.  Merci beaucoup! 

Kindly find the link to our slideshow below.   Some students asked to show it to their families!
